Objective
Guarantee that GBR services will not exhaust all of the cell resource and Non-GBR services will not be
subjected to severe starvation.
Benefits
Can reduce the risk that Non-GBR services are subjected to severe starvation
Functionalities
Principle
Stat the resource consumed by GBR services, if it is higher than the limit threshold, GBR services should
execute preemption among GBR services rather than continue to utilize the remained resource reserved for
Non-GBR services.

Preemption
Objective
Guarantee that Services with high priority can still access a congested network.
Benefits
Produce the diversity for service-access.
Functionalities
Principle
Need to release enough low priority in-system services so as to satisfy the GBR of new service with high
priority.
trigger
Key parameter
PreemptionArpThd: ARP threshold which means that all services with lower ARP than the threshold may be
preempted.

Redirection
Objective
Guarantee that released users can access network from other frequency when services are requested
once again.
Benefits
Can reduce the risk that current cell becomes overload again.
Functionalities
Principle
Released users will be allocated with different frequency through RRC signal.
Unsuccessfully preempted users except HO users, and preempted users, can be redirected.

Indicates the threshold for high PRB usage by GBR services. The
value of this parameter is expressed in percentage and applies to
both UL and DL. If the MAC layer detects that the PRB usage by GBR
services exceeds the threshold, the usage is high. In this situation,
new GBR services are not admitted if GbrUsageSwitch under the

Algorithm Relationship
AC depends on load monitor and congestion control, and it also relates with other physical
resource assignment such as PUCCH resource assignment and downlink power assignment
and transport resource management and hardware resource assignment.
Congestion control is related with load monitor.

Application Scenario
AC and congestion control application includes non-sharing and sharing.
In non-ran sharing scenario:
When cell load is high and PRB usage is high, it will execute AC for new RRC setup request.
Otherwise, it is to close the switcher in default. For HO service, it will always execute AC.
In ran sharing scenario:
It will always open AC and congestion control algorithm switch. Every operator will set individual AC
Threshold and execute the AC algorithm and congestion control.

Counter Description
An RRC connection is a Uu interface connection for carrying user signaling messages. The setup success
rate of the RRC connection in a cell directly represents the capability of the cell to provide RRC connection
setups for users. The RRC.Setup.Cell measurement unit measures the number of RRC connection setup
requests, number of RRC connection setup attempts, and number of successful RRC connection setups in a
cell. The setup success rate of the RRC connection can be calculated on the basis of the reported counters.
The counters measure the number of RRC connection reestablishment requests for different causes in a cell.
The RRC Connection Reestablishment Request message is an RRC signaling message sent by the UE. The
message is used to recover the RRC signaling connection.
An E-RAB is the access layer bearer for carrying service data of users. The E-RAB setup success rate in a
cell directly represents the capability of the cell to provide E-RAB connection setups for users. The ERAB.Est.Cell measurement unit measures the number of E-RAB setup attempts and the number of
successful E-RAB setups for each service with a different QoS Class Identifier (QCI) in a cell. The number of
E-RABs is used as the unit. The setup of one E-RAB is measured as one time.
E-RAB Release
Measurement (Cell)
An E-RAB is the access layer bearer for carrying service data of users. The E-RAB release is a process of
releasing the access layer bearer resources of users. It represents the capability of a cell to release access
layer bearer resources for users. The E-RAB.Rel.Cell measurement unit measures the number of normal ERAB releases and the number of abnormal E-RAB releases for each service with a different QCI in a cell.
The number of E-RABs is used as the unit. The release of one E-RAB is measured as one time.
