Capacity and resource analysis

To figure out the WCDMA network, we have to associate the several information. As WCDMA blockage can occur at several part also the multiple-service will consume different resource in the network. Furthermore the congestion in WCDMA is consisting of soft and hard blocking. Hence we must gather this information for the analysis. The information will be collected is :
Actual resource and configuration Traffic and KPI statistic Service distribution

From these 3 components, we can create 3 dimensions relationship and give the result of enough or inadequate resources for desired service.

Resources and configuration

In Huawei WCDMA network, to avoid the congestion and blockage of the service, we have to monitor the following resources :
NE Type NodeB Level Resource -CE card and license -NodeB HS-PDSCH code license -UL and DL Iub bandwidth -OVSF code -UL power -DL power Expansible Yes Yes Yes No Yes Yes

Traffic and KPI statistic

To associate the actual situation of resource usage we have to consider in term of :
- CS and PS traffic - Congestion - Utilization

Service distribution
Each service type will occupy different resources. Hence we should divide the traffic volume corresponding to each service type to understand the characteristic of the cell.
AMR VP PS R99 DL PS R99 UL HSDPA HSUPA

CE Resource Description
CE resource is consisting of hardware and software. CE is the pool resource at NodeB level, all cells connected to NodeB will share the same CE resource.
Hardware Number of CEs will be vary upon the model of card. Truemove typically uses CE Card model WWBP2 (UL/DL128 CEs). The monitor will be done at NodeB level. Software 1 License will be equal to 16 CEs. Number of UL/DL license can be assigned independently. The monitor can be done separately for UL and DL.

OVSF Code Resource Description

OVSF Code is the limit resource of each cell. The expansion cant be possible in a single cell. OVSF Code will be limited only DL direction. Typical usage of OVSF code
AMR : SF128 SF256 VP : SF32 PS R99 DL : SF8 SF128 HSDPA : SF16 Maximum is 15 * SF16 HSDPA Code usage is depended on Manual or Automatic assignment. More OVSF code manually assigned to HSDPA is less OVSF code left for R99.

NodeB HSDPA Code License Description

Except the available number of free OVSF code, HSDPA is required the license.
HSDPA code license is a pool resource at BBU as same as CE. Insufficient code license can degrade the throughput of HSDPA user as well.

UL Power Resource Description

Even the UL power is not limit corresponding to each UE power, but the noise raise will trig the rejection due to Call Admission Control as well. Hence, the increment in UL load can cause service rejection and slow down the data service. For Huawei, UL power resource can divided into 2 type. One is real load in term of RTWP, another one is equivalent load in term of ENU.

DL Power Resource Description

DL Power Limit is considered at RRU total power. Typical use of RRU power in Truemove is 20 and 40 watt. In general, the common control channel will consume about 20% of total power. The power consumption of each service will be different as well as the radio condition of each UE (e.g. distance, RSCP, Ec/Io) HSDPA will use the remaining power left from R99 service.

UL and DL Iub Bandwidth Description

Iub is the pool resource at BBU, each RRU have to share same Iub resource. Typical configuration bandwidth of Iub is 10 and 20 Mbps. Truemove deploys IP based Iub transmission.

Power CAC Algorithm

Power CAC is applied on both DL and UL

We have to consider our selected algorithm. The monitoring method will be

different. Algorithm

Huawei default for DL is Algorithm1

Monitor TCP usage for load calculation

Huawei default for UL is Algorithm2

Monitor ENU for UL load calculation

Total RRU power setting

Total Carrier Power (TCP) is one of limited resource depending upon RRU total power output that impact directly to cell capacity and performance. Although its the same RRU power, it may different in the capacity because of UE distribution in a cell. To overview the power setting in a cell, we can check parameter setting of total power and CPICH power. CPICH Power
MaxPCPICHPower (~ 10% of total cell power) Default = 33 or 36 dBm

Total Power
MaxTxPower Default = 43 or 46 dBm according to license

By the way, CPICH power + common channel will consume around 20% of total cell power.

Total 160 + 19 common channel = 179 codes are occupied and forbidden for traffic channel. Free code left for traffic channel = 256-179 = 77 Codes However, 1 SF32 is reserved for handover during CAC process . The actual free left code should be about 77- 8 = 69 Codes or about 34 AMR Voice.

Service rejection due to lack of resource

The rejection occurs at CAC phase, RNC check the network resources. If found insufficient resources for a new service, CAC will reject the service. The rejection may occur at RRC or RAB setup state. RRC is more critical than RAB rejection as RRC CAC threshold (typical 95% load) is higher than RAB CAC threshold. To ensure the proper rejection due to lack of resource, we can review the CAC threshold setting prior to perform further analysis.

Observe the type of service

Except the resource usage and rejection, to realize the resource consumption of the cell, we have to figure out the load of each service of a cell to see the distribution and judge which one consumes load the most. The service of a single user may be single-RAB or Multi-RAB The service of a single user will consume balance or unbalance load between UL and DL e.g.
AMR user : UL CS AMR and DL CS AMR Old Model mobile : DL+UL PS R99 iPhone and BB user : UL PS R99 and DL HSDPA Datacard user : UL HSUPA and DL HSDPA (all the equipment support HSUPA will support HSDPA).

User number counter in a cell

We can roughly discover the number of users to imply the traffic density in a cell.
VS.HSDPA.UE.Mean.Cell VS.HSUPA.UE.Mean.Cell

Average no of HSDPA users Average no of HSUPA users Average no of users in CELL_PCH state Average no of users in CELL_DCH state Average no of users in CELL_FACH state

VS.CellDCHUEs VS.CellFACHUEs

Typically, VS.HSUPA.UE.Mean.Cell is the subset of VS.HSDPA.UE.Mean.Cell as UE which supports HSUPA shall support HSDPA. VS.HSDPA.UE.Mean.Cell <= VS.CellDCHUEs

AMR user number counter in a cell

At the moment AMR user will utilize DL SF128/UL SF64 for each RL.

To sum up the number of AMR user we can calculate from

Number of AMR users = VS.AMR.Ctrl.DL4.75+VS.AMR.Ctrl.DL5.15+VS.AMR.Ctrl.DL5.9+ VS.AMR.Ctrl.DL6.7+VS.AMR.Ctrl.DL7.4+VS.AMR.Ctrl.DL7.95+ VS.AMR.Ctrl.DL10.2+VS.AMR.Ctrl.DL12.2

UL/DL CE consumption for a AMR User = 1/1

HSDPA+HSUPA user number counter in a cell

Assume that HSUPA user is HSDPA user as well. Hence while UL is HSUPA, DL will be HSDPA.

Number of HSDPA+HSUPA Users =

VS.HSUPA.UE.Mean.Cell

A HSDPA User consume 1*SF256 (1 CE) in DL for A-DCH

UL CE consumes up to bit rate of HSUPA

HSDPA+R99 user number counter in a cell

Typical mobile in a market will support only HSDPA while using R99 in UL. Therefore,

Number of HSDPA+R99 User =

VS.HSDPA.UE.Mean - VS.HSUPA.UE.Mean.Cell

A HSDPA User consume 1*SF256 (1 CE) in DL for A-DCH

UL CE consumes up to bit rate of DCH

To configure and use CE resource at NodeB, it will be defined as BB Resource Group separately for UL and DL The main concern about the BB Resource Group is If configure multi WBBP card into one UL BB Resource Group, CE is sum of CE from every WBBP cards. If configure multi WBBP card into one DL BB Resource Group, CE is CE of only one WBBP card.

Power congestion solution

As we have analyzed the root cause of power congestion whether UL (ENU) or DL (RRU power). The solution would be different up to the type of power congestion. Only limit power resource on UL is ENU, UL ENU can adjust ranging from 1 200
The concern of increasing UL ENU is RTWP. Although, call admission is success but it may lead to voice quality and drop call problem to itself or other UEs. The performance after increasing UL ENU should be closely monitored.

If power is congested due to DL power

If coverage is not the issue of the cell, we can slightly reduce the CPICH power. 1 dB step adjust is recommended. If coverage is the main concern in the serving area, we can increase 1 dB step adjust is recommended.

Note : please try to keep the ratio of CPICH power vs Max Transmit Power of Cell at 10% this would help to easily maintain CPICH Ec/No of the HSDPA carrier.

DL OVSF Code Congestion Solution

At the moment, code congestion would be caused by insufficient code for AMR and PS R99. However, PS DL R99 should be very low as most of DL PS RB is HSDPA. Thus, most of the service congestion due to code should be AMR. To overcome this problem, the reduction of fix HS-PDSCH code would be the best solution at the moment. The trade-off between AMR and HS-PDSCH code allocation is unavoidable according to limit of DL OVSF Code. 1 SF16 of HS-PDSCH can convert to about 8 AMR (SF128). This would be equivalent to 1 TRX. Thus, the fix HS-PDSCH 1 code reduction step would recommend to avoid as much as possible impact to HSDPA throughput.

Iub Congestion Solution

The only available solution is to expand Iub bandwidth. Almost all of Iub is IP over MPLS, the bandwidth limit should be omitted.
