UMTS Iub Dimensioning Principle and ProcedureAbstract: This article presents an overview of UMTS Iub dimensioning principle and
procedure. It briefly introduces the usage of multidimensional ErlangB model in Iub
dimensioning of CS and CS/VoIP over HSPA services and that of the best effort
characteristic in Iub dimensioning of PS&HSPA services. Dimensioning methods based on
different Iub transport techs, like ATM and IP are introduced.
1 IntroductionIub is the interface between RNC and NodeB. There are mainly three kinds of Iub transport
scenarios: ATM over E1/T1, IP over E1/T1 and IP over Ethernet. Figure 1 and Figure 2
illustrates the scenario of ATM/IP over E1/T1 and IP over Ethernet.
Figure 1 ATM/IP over E1/T1
Figure 2 IP over Ethernet
The purpose of Iub dimensioning is to estimate the required Iub bandwidth and the
corresponding number of E1 pairs or IP transport bandwidth.
This document is organized as follows:
Section 1 is the introduction;
Section 2 introduces the Iub dimensioning principle and procedure and compares the
protocol structure and Iub overhead for ATM/IP over E1/T1 and IP over Ethernet;
Section 3 introduces the detailed procedure of Iub bandwidth dimensioning for services,
CCH and O&M;
Section 4 gives a case study for IP over Ethernet transmission mode.

2 Iub Dimensioning Procedure
2.1 Iub dimensioning procedure
For the multi-services in UMTS, Huawei has carried out in-depth research in the field of
multi-service network dimensioning and adopts multidimensional ErlangB model to estimate
the Iub bandwidth of CS, CS/VoIP over HSPA multi-services.
Apart from services bandwidth, Iub bandwidth dimensioning includes calculation of Iub
bandwidth occupied by MBMS, common channels and O&M. Figure 3 shows the Iub
dimensioning procedure.
Figure 3 Iub dimensioning procedure
For mixed CS, CS/VoIP over HSPA, PS and HSPA services Iub bandwidth dimensioning,
best effort characteristic of PS and HSPA is used. In other words, the spare part of Iub
bandwidth which is not used by CS services can be utilized by PS and HSPA services.
Figure 4 illustrates sharing of Iub bandwidth by CS, CS/VoIP over HSPA, PS and HSPA.

Therefore, the total Iub bandwidth can be obtained through the following formula:
The ultimate Iub configuration is decided by the larger one of uplink and downlink Iub
bandwidth.
2.2 Iub dimensioning procedure for three main Iub transport scenarios
2.2.1 Protocol structure comparisons
The Iub dimensioning procedures given in Figure 3 is applicable for ATM over E1/T1, IP
over E1/T1 and IP over Ethernet. In other words, the dimensioning procedure for different
Iub transport scenarios are the same though the Iub overheads may varies.
Figure 5 shows the protocol structure of three main Iub transport scenarios. From the
protocol structure, it can be seen that the service Iub overheads for three main Iub transport
scenarios are:
FP overhead, AAL2 overhead and ATM overhead for ATM over E1/T1
FP overhead, UDP/IP overhead and PPP overhead for IP over E1/T1
FP overhead, UDP/IP overhead and MAC overhead for IP over Ethernet
On the other hand, Only ATM over E1/T1 has ALCAP protocol layer.2010-05-17 All rights reserved Page 6 , Total14

Notes:
The Iub bandwidth per link in above table already considered:
1) The activity factor of AMR12.2k and CS/VoIP over HSPA is 0.65, and that of the other services is 1;
2) The Iub bandwidth occupied by SRB (3.4kbps) is included and the SRB activity factor is 0.1;
3) The Duty Ratio of CS/VoIP over HSPA is 0.1.
Table2 HSPA service Iub Overhead
Notes:
1) Terminal Type 1: supports HSDPA( lower than 14.4Mbps) and phase 1 / phase 2 HSUPA( 1.96Mbps or
5.76Mbps);
2) Terminal Type 2: supports 64QAM or MIMO or 64QAM+MIMO or DC-HSDPA in downlink, and 16QAM
in uplink.

3 Iub Bandwidth Dimensioning Methodology
3.1 CS and CS/voIP over HSPA services peak Iub bandwidth
CS and CS/voIP over HSPA services peak Iub bandwidth is calculated by multidimensional
ErlangB algorithm in Huawei. Multidimensional ErlangB can estimate the respective
blocking probability of various CS and CS/voIP over HSPA services. Under a fixed Iub
bandwidth, different services have different blocking probabilities, which depend on their Iub
bandwidth usages. Multidimensional ErlangB model is illustrated in Figure 6.
Figure 6 Multidimensional ErlangB model
The resource is shared by all services in multidimensional ErlangB model, which takes good
advantage of the fact that the probability of simultaneous bursts from many independent
traffic sources is very small. The following figure illustrates the gain when the resource is
shared compared to when the resource is partitioned.
Figure 7 Partitioning Resources vs. Resources Shared
Once we know the GoS requirement of CS and CS/voIP over HSPA services, the CS
and CS/voIP over HSPA traffic per NodeB (after considering soft handover ratio) and the
service Iub bandwidth, we can calculate the CS and CS/voIP over HSPA services peak

Iub bandwidth using multidimensional ErlangB(MDE)model. This idea is shown in
Figure 8.
Note:
Iub factors means Iub bearer bandwidth including FP, AAL2 and ATM or IP overhead for service i.
Figure 8 Estimate peak Iub bandwidth using multidimensional ErlangB model
3.2 CS and CS/voIP over HSPA services Average Iub bandwidth
Of course, the average Iub bandwidth for CS and CS/voIP over HSPA services can also be
obtained, which does not guarantee the GoS requirements. The formula below is used to
calculate CS and CS/voIP over HSPA services average bandwidth:
: Soft handover overhead which does not include softer handover;
: Iub bandwidths for CS and CS/voIP over HSPA service I, shown in Table1.
3.3 PS Iub bandwidth
The calculation for PS Iub bandwidth is almost the same as that for CS and CS/voIP over
HSPA services average Iub bandwidth except that PS traffic calculation should also
consider the PS characteristics, e.g. PS burstiness, retransmission. The formula below is
used to calculate PS Iub bandwidth:

: Retransmission factor of PS services, which is equal to BLER/(1-BLER);
: Burst ratio of PS services and this parameter reflects the Qos requirement of PS services.
3.4 HSUPA Iub bandwidth
HSUPA usually bears Best Effort (BE) services; the calculation procedure of Iub bandwidth
for HSUPA is almost same as that for PS. HSUPA Iub bandwidth is calculated by the below
formula:
: HSUPA service Iub Overhead, shown in Table2.
3.5 HSDPA Iub bandwidth
3.5.1 Iub bandwidth for average traffic model
The calculation procedure of Iub bandwidth for HSDPA is almost same as that for HSUPA.
However, it should be noted that HSDPA does not support SHO and therefore there is no
Iub SHO overhead for HSDPA. HSDPA Iub bandwidth is calculated by the below formula:
: HSDPA service Iub Overhead, shown in Table2.
3.5.2 Iub bandwidth for HSPA End-user Experience Rate Bandwidth requirement
If HSPA End-user Experience Rate Bandwidth such as 3.6Mbps and 7.2Mbps is given, the
Iub bandwidth needed by peak rate can be calculated by the following formula:
It should be noted that the PeakRatePerNodeB is the application layer rate and the
relationship between application layer rate and physical layer rate is given in the following table:
Table1 Physical layer rate & application layer rate
Physical Layer Rate
Application Layer Rate

Notes:
Since peak rate is used for Iub calculation, there is no need to consider additional burst ratio;
3.6 Iub bandwidth for CCH and O&M
3.6.1 Iub bandwidth for common control channels (CCH)
Iub bandwidth for common channel mainly includes FACH and PCH for downlink while
RACH for uplink for one cell. The Iub bandwidth for downlink CCH depends on the
configurations of FACH and PCH. FACH and PCH are mapped onto the same physical
channel S-CCPCH. Generally, the typical configuration of RACH and S-CCPCH are both
one for each cell.
Herein, common Channels also includes NBAP, ALCAP consuming Iub bandwidth (For IP
transport, there is no ALCAP signaling). As the services speed gets bigger, the ratio of Iub
bandwidth consumed by NBAP, ALCAP gets so lower as to be ignored.
3.6.2 Iub bandwidth for O&M
O&M Iub bandwidth is configurable and the typical recommended value is 64kbps for both
uplink and downlink for one NodeB.
4 Case Study of Iub Bandwidth Dimensioning This chapter gives a case study for IP over Ethernet Iub bandwidth calculations. Since the
uplink and downlink Iub bandwidth calculation procedures are the same, only downlink Iub
bandwidth calculations are shown.
4.1 Input for Iub bandwidth dimensioning
The Iub bandwidth calculation is exemplified with a case study using the following traffic
model given in Table2 and the HSPA End-user Experience Rate Bandwidth (peak rate)
