Call Admission Control
Principle

24 | UMTS Workshop | Jan 2009 All Rights Reserved © Alcatel-Lucent 2009

 Call Admission Control
Mechanism

CAC (Call Admission Control)

• Rejects all calls requesting UTRAN resources above the existing hw/sw limits
• Applies to all types of traffic (CS & PS)

• iRM CAC – part of larger set of iRM

algorithms (intelligent resources
management)
• Performs PS RABs downsize at admission according
to the load level of different resources monitored
(RF Power, Codes, CEM, Iub…) and also RL quality.
• Applies only on R99 PS traffic.

Other features acting during Call admission in case of lack of UTRAN

resources:
• HSPA2DCH Fallback: HSPA call can be reconfigured to DCH if no HSPA resources.
• iMCTA CAC – allows to redirect a call on another Frequency or RAT if no resources available on
the current primary cell

Call Admission Control
High traffic load behaviour

UE requests an UTRAN resource (Power, Codes, CEM, Iub…) and is not getting
it because the resource is not available => resource Blocking
Blocking can impact different phases of the call:
Call Phase Blocking Cause Effect
Call Admission Lack of resources at call setup Call admission failure

Call Reconfiguration Lack of resources to perform iRM transitions Call is not reconfigured (impact on user
(RB Adaptation Upsize, iRM Sched Upgrade…) throughput)

Mobility No resources available for additional RL Additional RL not added in the Active
Set (risk of call drop)

Blocking during Call Admission phase as it is considered the most impacting

for call integrity (direct impact on call success).
The only solutions against blocking:
• Additional hw resources
•• Resources
Resourcesmanagement features
management activation
features (iRM, usage
(iRM…) HSDPA is
fallback,
highly iMCTA CAC)
recommended
in order to avoid useless hw upgrade

• iRM CAC is a specific RNC mechanism

Call Admission Control
UTRAN Resource Element

Main UTRAN Resources that can trigger CAC action (call admission blocking):
BTS Channel Elements – Resource managed by BTS CAC
 Blocking of this resource ⇒ RB rejection or RL Setup/Reconfiguration failures
Iub ATM – Resource managed by RNC CAC
 Blocking of this resource ⇒ RB rejection
RF power – Resource managed by RNC CAC
 Blocking of this resource ⇒ RB rejection
UL load (RTWP) – Resource managed by BTS CAC
 Blocking of this resource ⇒ RB rejection or RL Setup/Reconfiguration failures
OVSF Codes – Resource managed by RNC CAC
 Blocking of this resource ⇒ RB rejection
RNC CPU – Resource managed by the RNC
 Blocking of this resource ⇒ Overload mechanism => RB rejection
