AQM Feature Parameter Description
2 Technical Description
Technical Description
Active Queue Management (AQM) can actively optimize the management of RLC queues to
reduce the delay of HTTP service data 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 high 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.
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.
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, reduces the situations that the HTTP
service data are blocked by other services. It can improve the user experience in HTTP
service.
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.

Step 3 Establish a BE service on the UE. Verify the value of the information element (IE)
"ucAqmSwitch" contained in the message PdcpSetupInfo in the CRLC_SETUP_REQ message
as follows:
l If the value of the IE "ucAqmSwitch" is 1, this feature has been activated.
l If the value of the IE "ucAqmSwitch" is 0, this feature is not activated.

3.4 Deactivation
Run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH (CME single configuration:

DRA_BASE_RES_BE_TTI_RECFG_SWITCH
(DraSwitch) is set to ON. 7.
DRA_BASE_RES_BE_TTI_RECFG_SWITCH:
When the switch is on, the TTI dynamic adjustment
algorithm is supported for differentiation-based BE
services. 8. DRA_DCCC_SWITCH: When the switch
is on, the dynamic channel reconfiguration control
algorithm is used for the RNC. 9.
DRA_HSDPA_DL_FLOW_CONTROL_SWITCH:
When the switch is on, flow control is enabled for
HSDPA services in AM mode. 10.
DRA_HSDPA_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH: When the
switch is on, the status of the UE RRC that carrying
HSDPA services can be changed to CELL_FACH at the
RNC. If a PS BE service is carried over the HS-DSCH,
the switch PS_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH should
be on simultaneously. If a PS real-time service is carried
over the HS-DSCH, the switch
PS_NON_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH should be
on simultaneously. 11.
DRA_HSUPA_DCCC_SWITCH: When the switch is
on, the DCCC algorithm is used for HSUPA. The DCCC
switch must be also on before this switch takes effect.
12. DRA_HSUPA_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH: When
the switch is on, the status of the UE RRC that 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

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 has 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. 25.
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. 26.
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 UE.The
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 limited.The 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.
