6.1.1 Introduction
There are many types of congestion control mechanisms, the main groups are window based, rate based or combination of both. The method often used for congestion detection is the method based on the loss of packets. Other methods appropriate for congestion detection are: packet delay, average queue and rate difference. ...

6.1.2 Example 1: TFRC
Congestion Factor depends on the congestion control algorithm, and on the congestion detection method. By detecting the loss of packets and using some method to derive RTT, transmit rate could be prepared according to transmit rate formula X = f(s, RTT, p) where s is the packet size in bytes/second, RTT – the round tri...

6.1.3 Example 2: "ABR like" congestion control
"ABR like" congestion control has "additive increase, exponential decrease" type of algorithms. Different formulas exist for computing ACR (Allowed Cell Rate) for increase and for decrease. ACR i.e. current transmission rate in cell/s, should be computed in octets or in number of MAC-d PDUs. Then from the computed ACR...

6.2.1 Iub/Iur congestion detection
The Node B scheduler decides on when and with which bit rate each and every UE is allowed to transmit in the cell. Each received MAC-es PDU is placed in a frame protocol data frame and sent to the SRNC (in some cases several PDUs are bundled into the same data frame). For each data frame, the Node B attach the followin...

6.2.2 Iub/Iur congestion reduction
When the RNC has detected that there is a congestion situation in the transport network, it needs to inform the Node B that this is the case. This is done by means of a frame protocol control frame, in which the Node B is informed about the congestion situation. This control frame will be called Congestion Indication. ...

1 The purpose of the congestion control, is not to act as a flow control but rather as an "emergency break" in order to keep the system at a stable state.

2 The output bit rate from the node B depends on many things, for example radio interference, distance from mobile to Node B, available hardware resources etc. The Node B scheduler will need to take all that into consideration when assigning the bit rate to each mobile.

3 Performance wise, to specify very detailed behaviour when the control frame is received is not possible due to the reasons in bullet 2.

6.2.3 A similar solution for HSDPA
It has been acknowledged that similar functionality shall also be introduced for HSDPA. Further it was expressed that such a solution should be as similar as possible to any solution for Enhanced Uplink. In this clause such functionality is proposed and analysed. From a conceptual point of view, the reuse of the conc...

6.2.4 Handling of the Iur
Two philosophies can be distinguished for the handling of the Iub traffic, referred to as the "Iub pipe" and the "Iub cloud".

6.2.4.1 Iub pipe philosophy
Figure 3: "Iub pipe" philosophy With the "Iub pipe", logic the CRNC enforces the traffic limit injected on the Iub interface in the DL, so it is able to instantaneously detect any congestion situation. The advantage of this approach is that there is no need for using any new congestion mechanisms in the Node B, beca...

6.2.4.2 Iub Cloud philosophy
Figure 5: "Iub cloud" philosophy With the "Iub cloud" logic, the traffic injected by the RNC is less tightly controlled i.e. the RNC is likely to inject too much traffic in the network, thus yielding a congestion situation. This approach should allow for statistical multiplexing in some scenarios without complex con...

6.2.4.3 Co-existence of the two philosophies
In the situation where the HS-DSCH connection extends across the Iur interface it is important to note that – should it be employed – the HS-DSCH flow control may be terminated in the DRNC. In this scenario, two separate flow control loops would then be employed on both Iub and Iur. If, in the "Iub pipe" logic, a DR...

1 The DRNC makes the decision to use Congestion Control and indicates to the Node B – via Control Plane - not to perform Congestion Control (e.g. using the Physical Shared Channel Reconfiguration procedure).

2 The DRNC makes the decision and indicates to the SRNC that it shall include the user plane protocol extensions that are used by the Node B to detect congestion (namely the timestamp and the Frame Sequence Number) by introducing a new User Plane Congestion Field Inclusion IE in the HS-DSCH FDD/TDD Information Response...
This would allow the DRNC to indicate to the SRNC if User Plane fields destined to be used for Congestion detection by the Node B are to be included or not in the HS-DSCH Data Frames. If not included, Congestion detection and Congestion Control will not be employed by the Node B. This second approach is preferred as ...
