WCDMA RAN
Domain Specific Access Control 2 Overview of DSAC
2 Overview of DSAC
2.1 Background Information
In some cases, if too many UEs initiate random access, the QoS of UEs in connected mode is affected
greatly. This may occur when the network load is heavy, the radio access network application part
(RANAP) is overloaded because of CN congested, or the signaling processing unit (SPU) CPU is
overloaded. Therefore, UE access should be restricted to reduce the load of the access channel and to
ensure the QoS of UEs in connected mode.
According to the 3GPP specifications, an operator can define an access priority, namely access class
(AC), for a UE. The information about the AC is stored in the USIM of the UE. Before 3GPP Release 6,
access class restriction (ACR) is simultaneously performed on all the operators and all the domains. This
causes unnecessary access control and affects the access rates of UEs. To solve this problem, domain
specific access control (DSAC) is introduced.
Logically, the core network (CN) is divided into the CS domain and PS domain, which are used to
process CS services and PS services respectively. The characteristics of CS services and PS services
are different. DSAC is a process during which UEs of some ACs are barred from accessing the
circuit-switched (CS) domain, packet-switched (PS) domain, or both domains of the core network (CN) to
prevent traffic bursts and to ensure the QoS of UEs in connected mode.
2.2 Application Scenarios

The application scenarios of DSAC are as follows:
 The CN is overloaded and the RNC is notified through the Iu interface, it automatically triggers DSAC
as follows:
− The RNC bars X% of the UEs from accessing the network at fixed intervals. At the next interval, the
RNC bars another X% of the UEs and allows the other barred UEs to access the network. If X% =
100%, all the UEs controlled by the RNC are barred from accessing the corresponding domains,
although these UEs can still camp on the cells controlled by the RNC.
− TheRNC bars the UEs from accessing a specific domain. If the CS domain is overloaded, the UEs
are barred from accessing the CS domain; if the PS domain is overloaded, the UEs are barred from
accessing the PS domain.
− When the CN is no longer overloaded, all the barred UEs are allowed to access the network.
 Iu Flex is applied, DSAC is automatically triggered only when all the CN nodes connected to the RNC
are overloaded.
The operator can specify whether CN overload triggers DSAC.
When DSAC is triggered, the operator can monitor the DSAC status, network status, ACR process, and
ACR releasing process through logs and alarms.
2.3 Access Class and Access Service Class

An access class (AC) identifies the access priority of a UE when the network load is heavy. There are 16
ACs, from AC0 to AC15, as described in Table 2-1.
Table 2-1 Application scopes of the ACs
AC Application Scope
AC0-AC9 Common users

WCDMA RAN
AC Application Scope
AC10 Indication of whether or not network access for emergency calls is allowed for the UEs of
AC0 to AC9 or without an IMSI
AC11 PLMN management
AC12 Security service
AC13 Public utilities, such as water and gas suppliers
AC14 Emergency services
AC15 PLMN staff
The Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) resources (including usable access timeslots and
usable access preamble signatures) can provide access services of different priorities through Access
Service Class (ASC). When random accesses conflict, an ASC with high priority has more chances of
random access than an ASC with low priority.
The ASC is dependent on the AC of the UE and the type of the service:
 If the service is an emergency call, the AC is set to 10. Then, the ASC can be obtained from the
AC-to-ASC mapping table.
 Otherwise, the AC of the UE needs to be obtained first. Then, the ASC of the service can be obtained
from the AC-to-ASC mapping table.
The AC-to-ASC mapping table is broadcast through eight information elements (IEs) of SIB5 or SIB5bis
in the cell. Table 2-2 shows the mapping table, where the nth IE specifies an ASC number, ranging from
0 to 7.
Table 2-2 AC-to-ASC mapping
AC 0-9 10 11 12 13 14 15
ASC 1st IE 2nd IE 3rd IE 4th IE 5th IE 6th IE 7th IE
If a UE is a member of several ACs, it is assigned the ASC corresponding to the AC with the highest
number. When the UE is in connected mode, the ACs do not take effect.
2.4 Access Class Restriction

This section describes the feature WRFD-021103 Access Class Restriction.
UE services are classified into 16 ACs: AC0-AC15. Access class restriction (ACR) is performed only on
AC0-AC9 in sequence. At each restriction interval (determined by the AcRstrctIntervalLen parameter),
there is always a probability that UEs of some ACs are barred. The number of barred ACs is determined
by the AcRstrctPercent parameter. At the next restriction interval, the barred ACs are unrestricted and
another set of ACs is restricted. This process continues until the CPU usage or message block usage
becomes normal.

WCDMA RAN
 You can run the MML command SET UACALGO to set the value of AcRstrctPercent. If AcRstrctPercent is set to 1,
one AC service is restricted during access polling; if AcRstrctPercent is set to 2, two AC services are restricted during
access polling. The value of AcRstrctPercent determines the number of AC services to be restricted.
 The value of AcRstrctPercent for AC0 to AC9 ranges from 1 to 10.
Figure 2-1 shows an example when AcRstrctPercent is set to 10.

Figure 2-1 An example when AcRstrctPercent is set to 10
The mechanism of monitoring the CPU usage and that of monitoring the message block usage are independent from each
other. The ACR is triggered when either of the resource usages reaches its associated AC control threshold.

Domain Specific Access Control 3 Technical Description
3 Technical Description
This chapter describes the feature WRFD-020114 Domain Specific Access Control (DSAC).
3.1 Overview
DSAC bars UEs of some ACs from accessing the CS domain, PS domain, or both. DSAC is classified
into manual DSAC and automatic DSAC. The application scopes of DSAC are cells and operators. The
network elements (NEs) involved are RNC and UE.
The basic principles of DSAC are similar to those of ACR. The difference exists in that DSAC can
discriminate operators and domains, in other words, DSAC can be effective for a specific operator or
domain. Therefore, DSAC is more flexible than ACR.
3.2 DSAC Implementation on the RNC Side

The RNC broadcasts the DSAC information through SIB3 or SIB4, from which the UE can determine
whether a specific domain is available. DSAC can bar UEs from accessing a specific domain. It can also
restrict ACs in different domains of different operators.
3.3 DSAC Implementation on the UE Side

The access behavior of the UE depends on the protocol version used by the UE, the capability of the UE,
and the AC control IEs broadcast through SIB3 on the Uu interface.
Table 3-1 lists the relations between the UE protocol versions and the AC control IEs.

3.4 DSAC Mode

The DSAC modes are as follows:
 Manual DSAC: It is configured for a specific operator of a specific cell. Once this mode is configured,
DSAC actions are immediately triggered for the specific operator of the specific cell.
 Automatic DSAC: It is configured for the entire RNC and takes effect in all the cells controlled by the
RNC. DSAC actions are triggered for all the cells controlled by the RNC only when the SPU CPU is
overloaded. When the CN is congested because of CN capacity of an operator is limited, DSAC is
triggered in a certain scope, depending on the network mode. For details, see Table 3-2.
Table 3-2 lists the DSAC modes, triggers, and application scopes.

In MOCN mode, the CN belongs to multiple

DSAC actions do not take effect on all the UEs in such a
cell. Instead, they take effect only on the UEs of the
operators whose Iu interfaces are overloaded.

In RAN sharing mode, the CN belongs to multiple
operators, and a cell belongs to only one operator.
SPU CPU overload - Cells controlled by the RNC and belonging to
whatever operators.
Manual DSAC has a higher priority than automatic DSAC.
3.5 Forward Compatibility of DSAC with ACR

3.5.1 Purpose of Forward Compatibility of DSAC with ACR
ACR controls the access behavior of the UE according to the "Access Class Barred list" IE in SIB3. The
basic principles of ACR are similar to those of DSAC. The difference exists in that ACR does not
discriminate operators or domains; in other words, ACR is effective for all the operators and domains.
ACR can be triggered in the following ways:
 By the execution of the ADD UCELLACCESSSTRICT command
In this case, the ACR mode is fixed but the specific ACs to be restricted can be specified.
 By SPU CPU overload
In this case, ACs are restricted through dynamic polling. The constraint rules are specified by the SET
UACALGO command.
ACR is already implemented in RAN10.0.
In 3GPP Release 6 and later, the UE behavior depends on DSAC IEs. In the versions earlier than 3GPP
Release 6, the UE behavior depends on the "Access Class Barred list" IE. Different triggers require

WCDMA RAN
different SIB3 IEs. For the balance among UE behaviors, it is necessary to adjust the DSAC IEs and the
"Access Class Barred list" IE.
 ACR and DSAC are merged in RAN11.0.

 The triggers mentioned in this section refer to the ACR trigger, DSAC trigger, or both.
3.5.2 Principles of Forward Compatibility of DSAC with ACR

Table 3-3 provides the rules for filling in the DSAC IEs and the ACR IEs in SIB3 in different scenarios. In
the table, the values of ACR parameters are represented by A, and the values of DSAC parameters are
represented by B.

Domain Specific Access Control 4 Engineering Guidelines
4 Engineering Guidelines
This chapter provides the examples of parameter setting for manual DSAC and automatic DSAC. It also
provides the examples of parameter setting for forward compatibility of DSAC with ACR with different
triggers.
4.1 Example of Parameter Setting for Manual DSAC

This section takes a typical application scenario of manual DSAC as an example.
On a holiday such as a New Year's Eve, PS traffic may be stable but CS traffic may increase greatly in
some cells. To ensure the QoS of the UEs in connected mode, the UEs of AC0 to AC9 need to be barred
from accessing the CS domain. For example, 40% of the UEs are barred at intervals of 10 seconds, as
shown in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1 An example of manual DSAC
In Figure 4-1, the red line indicates that the access to the CS domain is restricted, in other words, the UEs of the specific
ACs cannot originate RRC connection setups in the CS domain.
Figure 4-1 assumes that the UEs of AC0 to AC9 are distributed evenly on the network. After the DSAC,
40% of the UEs cannot originate RRC connection setups in the CS domain at any moment but they can
still access the PS domain. Thus, the traffic in the CS domain is lowered by 40%. In 60% of the time,
however, a UE on the network can originate a CS call.
In this example, manual DSAC can be configured by the ADD UCELLDSACMANUALPARA command.
Table 4-1 lists the parameter settings.

AC0-1 indicates that AC0 is restricted, and AC10-0 indicates that AC10 is allowed. The rest may be deduced by analogy.
4.2 Example of Parameter Setting for Automatic DSAC

If the CN capacity of an operator is limited, the CN may be often congested. In case of congestion, the
services in both the CS domain and the PS domain of this operator can be restricted at the same time.
Figure 4-2 shows an example of automatic DSAC, where 20% of the UEs of AC0 to AC9 are barred in
the CS domain and the PS domain each time.
Figure 4-2 An example of automatic DSAC
 In Figure 4-2, the red line indicates that the access to the CS domain is restricted, in other words, the UEs of the
specific ACs cannot originate RRC connection setups in the CS domain.
 The blue line indicates that the access to the PS domain is restricted, in other words, the UEs of the specific ACs cannot
originate RRC connection setups in the PS domain.
Figure 4-2 shows the procedure of access restriction in both the CS domain and the PS domain at the
same time. At any moment, 20% of the UEs on the network cannot originate RRC connection setups in

WCDMA RAN
the CS or PS domain. Thus, the traffic is lowered by 20%. In 80% of the time, however, a UE on the
network can originate a call.
In this example, automatic DSAC can be configured by the SET UDSACAUTOALGO command. Table
4-2 lists the parameter settings.
