AQM Feature Parameter Description 2 Technical Description

2 Technical Description

Active Queue Management (AQM) can actively optimize the management of RLC queues to
reduce the delay of HTTP services in buffer queues.
Currently, most communication systems use Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to
guarantee the reliability of data services. When TCP is applied to the WCDMA network, one
radio bearer (RB) can simultaneously use multiple TCP connections (multi-thread) and a great
number of data packets may wait in the buffer queue, which leads to a long queuing delay. As
a result, the following problems may occur:
l When a queue is long, the round trip time (RTT) of the synchronization packet of a new
connection is also long, whereas the initial value of the retransmission timeout (RTO)
timer is relatively small. Therefore, the RTT may be longer than the RTO time, that is,
the RTO timer may expire before the new connection is established.
l When a high-priority traffic stream occupies most of the buffer, it is difficult for other
streams to occupy the required bandwidth. As a result, the subsequent data packets of the
other streams are likely to be discarded due to buffer overflow.
l When consecutive loss of packets occurs due to buffer overflow, the TCP link takes a
long time to retrieve the earlier data rate. In such a case, the link cannot be fully used.
AQM optimizes the management of RLC queues and reduces the situations that the
HTTP service data are blocked by other services. It can improve user experience in
HTTP services.
AQM identifies an HTTP service by the TCP port number carried in the service packet. The
default TCP port number is 80 for HTTP services.
The AQM algorithm applies to data transmission in the downlink rather than the uplink.
The AQM algorithm does not require support from other NEs.
The AQM algorithm must be implemented before the PDCP header compression algorithm is
implemented.

priority weight of the subscriber whose key

parameters (IP Address, IP Port, and IP Protocol
Type) match the specified ones can be adjusted. In this
way, the QoS is improved.
14. DRA_PS_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH: When
this switch is turned on, UEs can be transited among
the CELL_DCH, CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, and
URA_PCH states when they are processing PS BE
services.
15. DRA_PS_NON_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH:
When this switch is turned on, UEs can be transited
between the CELL_DCH and CELL_FACH states
when they are processing real-time PS services.
16. DRA_R99_DL_FLOW_CONTROL_SWITCH:
Under a poor radio environment, the QoS of high
speed services drops considerably and the TX power
is overly high. In this case, the RNC can set
restrictions on low data rate transmission formats
based on the transmission quality, thus lowering traffic
speed and TX power. When the switch is on, the R99
downlink flow control function is enabled.
17. DRA_THROUGHPUT_DCCC_SWITCH: When
the switch is on, the DCCC based on traffic statistics
is supported over the DCH.
18. DRA_VOICE_SAVE_CE_SWITCH: when the
switch is on, the TTI selection based on the voice
service type (including VoIP and CS over HSPA) is
supported when the service is initially established.
19. DRA_VOICE_TTI_RECFG_SWITCH: when the
switch is on, the TTI adjustment based on the voice
service type (including VoIP and CS over HSPA) is
supported.

channel retries are prohibited for CS and PS combined
services. When this switch is turned off, channel
retries are allowed for CS and PS combined services.
22.
DRA_SMART_FAST_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH:
Whether to activate the fast state transition algorithm.
When this switch is turned on, the RNC identifies UEs
supporting fast state transition and then quickly
transits the UEs from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH.
23. DRA_PCH_UE_SMART_P2D_SWITCH:
Whether to activate the algorithm for smart PCH-to-
DCH state transition specific to UEs in the
CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state. When this switch is
turned on, the RNC identifies UEs supporting smart
PCH-to-DCH state transition and then transits the UEs
from CELL_PCH or URA_PCH to CELL_DCH.
24.
DRA_BASE_RES_BE_TTI_INIT_SEL_SWITCH:
Whether initial TTI selection is allowed for
differentiated BE services based on fairness
0: This switch is turned off. The TTI is selected
according to the original algorithm.
1: This switch is turned on. In the dynamic TTI
adjustment algorithm for differentiated BE services
based on fairness, HSUPA UEs use 10-ms TTI if the
RTWP, occupied Iub bandwidth, or consumed CE
resources are congested.
25.
DRA_BASE_COVER_BE_TTI_INIT_SEL_SWITC
H: Whether to activate the coverage-based initial TTI
selection algorithm specific to BE services. When this
switch is turned on and conditions on 2 ms TTI
specific to BE services have been met, the RNC
determines uplink coverage wideness of specific cells
based on the Ec/N0 values reported by UEs during
RRC connection. If the uplink coverage of the cells is
weak, the RNC allocates a 10 ms TTI to BE services
as their initial TTI.
26. DRA_F2U_SWITCH: Whether to enable state
transition from CELL_FACH to URA_PCH.When
this switch is turned on, a UE can directly move from
the CELL_FACH to URA_PCH state. When this
switch is turned off, a UE must move from the
CELL_FACH to CELL_PCH and then to URA_PCH
state.

Manage the switch is on, the status of the UE RRC that
ment carrying HSDPA services can be changed to
(AQM) CELL_FACH at the RNC. If a PS BE service is
SRB carried over the HS-DSCH, the switch
over PS_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH should be on
HSUPA simultaneously. If a PS real-time service is carried
over the HS-DSCH, the switch
HSDPA PS_NON_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH should be
Flow on simultaneously.

12. DRA_HSUPA_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH: When
HSUPA the switch is on, the status of the UE RRC that
DCCC carrying HSUPA services can be changed to
CELL_FACH at the RNC. If a PS BE service is
carried over the E-DCH, the switch
PS_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH should be on
simultaneously. If a PS real-time service is carried
over the E-DCH, the switch
PS_NON_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH should be
on simultaneously.
13. DRA_IP_SERVICE_QOS_SWITCH: Switch of
the algorithm for increasing the quality of subscribed
services. When this parameter is set to ON, the service
priority weight of the subscriber whose key
parameters (IP Address, IP Port, and IP Protocol
Type) match the specified ones can be adjusted. In this
way, the QoS is improved.
14. DRA_PS_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH: When
this switch is turned on, UEs can be transited among
the CELL_DCH, CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, and
URA_PCH states when they are processing PS BE
services.
15. DRA_PS_NON_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH:
When this switch is turned on, UEs can be transited
between the CELL_DCH and CELL_FACH states
when they are processing real-time PS services.
16. DRA_R99_DL_FLOW_CONTROL_SWITCH:
Under a poor radio environment, the QoS of high
speed services drops considerably and the TX power
is overly high. In this case, the RNC can set

based on the transmission quality, thus lowering traffic
speed and TX power. When the switch is on, the R99
downlink flow control function is enabled.
17. DRA_THROUGHPUT_DCCC_SWITCH: When
the switch is on, the DCCC based on traffic statistics
is supported over the DCH.
18. DRA_VOICE_SAVE_CE_SWITCH: when the
switch is on, the TTI selection based on the voice
service type (including VoIP and CS over HSPA) is
supported when the service is initially established.
19. DRA_VOICE_TTI_RECFG_SWITCH: when the
switch is on, the TTI adjustment based on the voice
service type (including VoIP and CS over HSPA) is
supported.

er the RNC-level enhanced throughput-based DCCC
function takes effect for R99 PS BE services.
1: This switch is turned on. The enhanced function is
enabled, the throughput-based DCCC function and the
traffic-based DCCC function become ineffective, and
the RNC adjusts the uplink and downlink rate based
on the throughput of R99 PS BE services.
0: This switch is turned off. The enhanced function is
disabled, and the throughput-based DCCC function
and the traffic-based DCCC function take effect.
21. DRA_CSPS_NO_PERIOD_RETRY_SWITCH:
Whether to prohibit channel retries for CS and PS
combined services. When this switch is turned on,
channel retries are prohibited for CS and PS combined
services. When this switch is turned off, channel
retries are allowed for CS and PS combined services.
22.
DRA_SMART_FAST_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH:
Whether to activate the fast state transition algorithm.
When this switch is turned on, the RNC identifies UEs
supporting fast state transition and then quickly
transits the UEs from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH.
23. DRA_PCH_UE_SMART_P2D_SWITCH:
Whether to activate the algorithm for smart PCH-to-
DCH state transition specific to UEs in the
CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state. When this switch is
turned on, the RNC identifies UEs supporting smart
PCH-to-DCH state transition and then transits the UEs
from CELL_PCH or URA_PCH to CELL_DCH.

DRA_BASE_RES_BE_TTI_INIT_SEL_SWITCH:
Whether initial TTI selection is allowed for
differentiated BE services based on fairness
0: This switch is turned off. The TTI is selected
according to the original algorithm.
1: This switch is turned on. In the dynamic TTI
adjustment algorithm for differentiated BE services
based on fairness, HSUPA UEs use 10-ms TTI if the
RTWP, occupied Iub bandwidth, or consumed CE
resources are congested.
25.
DRA_BASE_COVER_BE_TTI_INIT_SEL_SWITC
H: Whether to activate the coverage-based initial TTI
selection algorithm specific to BE services. When this
switch is turned on and conditions on 2 ms TTI
specific to BE services have been met, the RNC
determines uplink coverage wideness of specific cells
based on the Ec/N0 values reported by UEs during
RRC connection. If the uplink coverage of the cells is
weak, the RNC allocates a 10 ms TTI to BE services
as their initial TTI.
26. DRA_F2U_SWITCH: Whether to enable state
transition from CELL_FACH to URA_PCH.When
this switch is turned on, a UE can directly move from
the CELL_FACH to URA_PCH state. When this
switch is turned off, a UE must move from the
CELL_FACH to CELL_PCH and then to URA_PCH
state.
27.
DRA_BASE_LOAD_HBD_INIT_SEL_SWITCH:
Whether to validate the initial selection function for
load-based happy bit delay condition. This function
can be used to improve the HSUPA throughput per
[Link] alternative happy bit delay condition
(specified by the AltHBDelaycnd parameter in the
ADD UTYPRABHSPA command) is selected when
the following conditions are met: This switch is turned
on, the HSUPA UE initially accesses the cell, and the
cell uplink load is not [Link] happy bit delay
time (specified by the HBDelaycnd parameter in the
ADD UTYPRABHSPA command) is selected when
any of the preceding three conditions is not met.
