Physical resources (PPP links and MP groups), logical resources (IP logical ports), and path resources (IP paths) physical resources (fractional IMA links, UNI links, IMA groups), logical resources (ATM logical ports), and path resources (ATM paths)
The NCP, CCPs, and ALCAP links between the RNC and the NodeB are shared among all operators.
TRM policies for the Iub interface involve admission control on the control plane and flow control on the user plane. In RAN sharing mode, operators support individual admission, centralized admission, individual flow control, and centralized flow control. Individual admission means that the transmission bandwidth requested by an operator's users can be taken only from that operator's dedicated bandwidth. Accordingly, the RNC performs admission control for each operator in a individual manner. For details about admission control, see Transmission Resource Management Feature Parameter Description. Centralized admission means that the transmission bandwidth requested by all operators' users is taken from the total bandwidth. Accordingly, the RNC performs admission control for all operators in a centralized manner. Individual flow control means that the RNC performs individual congestion detection over each operator's dedicated bandwidth. When detecting congestion over an operator's dedicated bandwidth, the RNC imposes flow control only on that operator's users. Centralized flow control means that the RNC performs congestion detection over the total bandwidth without distinguishing between operators. When detecting congestion, the RNC imposes flow control on all operators' users.
Table 2-2 lists the TRM policy over the Iub interface in RAN Sharing mode. The policy is selected through configuration.

The characteristics of the three TRM policies listed in Table 2-2 are as follows:
Centralized admission and centralized flow control maximize the usage of Iub transmission bandwidth. This TRM policy is recommended in RAN sharing scenarios. Individual admission and individual flow control manage the transmission bandwidth of each operator separately. This reduces the resource usage. Individual admission and centralized flow control separately manage the Iub transmission bandwidth of each operator during UE admission. Compared with the policy of individual admission and individual flow control, this TRM policy has higher bandwidth utilization.

When a user requests transmission resources, admission decision is first made over the serving operator's dedicated bandwidth range. If the request is admitted, admission decision is then made over the total bandwidth. Specifically, admission decision is made successively on paths, operators' dedicated bandwidth range over logical ports, the total bandwidth over logical ports, operators' dedicated bandwidth range over physical ports, the total bandwidth over physical ports, and boards. If the request is rejected, the user can only preempt transmission resources that are occupied by another user served by the same operator. When the bandwidth occupied by admitted users reaches the congestion threshold, load reshuffling (LDR) is triggered to avoid congestion. The RNC performs congestion detection on each port in the following ways:
Monitors the usage of operators' dedicated bandwidth range. When the RNC detects that the usage of the bandwidth occupied by an operator's admitted users has reached the congestion threshold for this operator, it regards this operator's admitted users as having caused congestion. This is known as OP Congestion.

Monitors the usage of the total bandwidth. When the RNC detects that the usage of the bandwidth occupied by all admitted users has reached the congestion threshold for this port, it regards all admitted users as having caused congestion. This is known as Port Congestion.
As described in Table 3-1, LDR is performed on different objects, depending on the congestion state. Table 3-1 LDR objects Congestion State OP Congestion Port Congestion OP Congestion and Port Congestion LDR Objects An operator's users All users LDR is first performed on an operator's users. If congestion persists after the congestion caused by these users is lifted, LDR will be performed on all users.
Overload occurs when the bandwidth occupied by admitted users over a port exceeds the sending capabilities of that port. The RNC checks the usage of the total bandwidth for the port. When the bandwidth usage reaches the overload threshold for the port, the RNC performs overload control (OLC) on all users to quickly lift overload. For details about LDR and OLC, see the Transmission Resource Management Feature Parameter Description.

When a user requests transmission resources, admission decision is made over the total bandwidth. Specifically, admission decision is made successively on the total bandwidth over paths, the total bandwidth over logical ports, physical ports, and boards. The RNC centrally monitors the bandwidth usage over paths, logical ports, and physical ports. When the RNC detects that the bandwidth usage over a path, logical port, or physical port has reached the congestion threshold for this path, logical port, or physical port, it performs LDR on all users. When the RNC detects that the bandwidth usage over a path, logical port, or physical port has reached the overload threshold for this path, logical port, or physical port, it performs OLC on all users.

In cases where admission decision is made on each operator' dedicated bandwidth, when a user requests transmission resources, admission decision is made successively on paths (based on operators' dedicated bandwidths), logical ports (based on operators' dedicated bandwidths), physical ports, and boards. If the request is rejected, the user can only preempt transmission resources that are occupied by another user with low service priority served by the same operator. The RNC monitors the bandwidth usage over each operator's dedicated paths and logical ports. When the RNC detects that the bandwidth occupied by an operator's admitted users has reached the congestion threshold for this path or logical port, it performs LDR on this operator's users. When the RNC detects that the bandwidth occupied by an operator's admitted users has reached the overload threshold for this path or logical port, it performs OLC on this operator's users.
Load thresholds can be configured on physical ports, logical ports, and paths. When the RNC detects that the load of a certain resource item reaches the corresponding load threshold, load control (LDR or OLC) is triggered on the resource item. Assume that the LDR trigger threshold for a physical port is 8 Mbit/s, the physical port carries two logical ports (LP1 and LP2), and the LDR trigger threshold of both LP1 and LP2 is 4 Mbit/s. If the load on LP1 is 4 Mbit/s, the RNC triggers LDR on LP1. In this case, if the load on LP2 is 2 Mbit/s, the RNC does not trigger LDR on LP2. The total load on the physical port is 6 Mbit/s, which does not reach the LDR trigger threshold of the physical port. Therefore, the RNC does not trigger LDR on the physical port.

6.1 Overview
This chapter provides engineering guidelines for TRM when RAN sharing is used in different transmission scenarios. When ATM/IP transmission is used, transmission networks are classified into convergence and non-convergence transmission networks. Operators can use Iub interface bandwidths in a shared or dedicated manner. In a convergence network, the bandwidth is different for the RNC and the NodeB, and congestion nodes exist in the transmission network. In a non-convergence network, the bandwidth is the same for the RNC and the NodeB, and no congestion node exists in the transmission network. For details about transmission convergence, see the Transmission Resource Management Feature Parameter Description.

admission and centralized flow control are implemented, each operator has a certain proportion of bandwidths on fractional IMA links, UNI links, and IMA links if the Iub interface uses ATM transmission. To enable operators to manage their respective dedicated transmission-resources on the links, set parameters as follows:
On the RNC side, set the RscMngMode parameter to EXCLUSIVE when running the MML command ADD UNODEB. On PPP links, MLPPP links, fractional IMA links, UNI links, and IMA links, perform the following steps to allocate a certain proportion of bandwidths to operators and configure dedicated load threshold tables for these operators:
1. Run the MML command ADD TRMLOADTH to configure TRM load threshold tables for operators and links. 2. Run the MML command ADD OPSEPINFO and add an information table for individual admission. This is to allocate a certain proportion of bandwidths to operators and specify TRM load threshold tables for each operator.
When running the MML commands ADD PPPLNK, ADD FRALNK, ADD UNILNK, and ADD IMAGRP, set the OPSEPFLAG(PPP link)/OPSEPFLAG(FRA link)/OPSEPFLAG(UNI link)/OPSEPFLAG(IMA group) parameter to ON, set the OPSEPINDEX(PPP link)/OPSEPINDEX(FRA link)/OPSEPINDEX(UNI link)/OPSEPINDEX(IMA group) parameter to the index of the information table added in step 2 and specify TRM load threshold tables for links.
When running the MML command ADD UNODEB, set the RscMngMode parameter to EXCLUSIVE. Perform the following steps to configure dedicated logical ports for operators and to configure dedicated TRM load threshold tables for operators' dedicated logical ports and paths.
1. Run the MML command ADD TRMLOADTH to configure dedicated TRM load threshold tables for operators' dedicated logical ports and paths. 2. When running the MML command ADD ATMLOGICPORT or ADD IPLOGICPORT, set the RSCMNGMODE(ATM logical port)/RSCMNGMODE(IP logical port) parameter to EXCLUSIVE and specify TRM load threshold tables for logical ports. 3. When configuring paths, perform the following steps to ensure that paths are carried over operators' dedicated logical ports:
When When
running the MML command ADD IPPATH, set the CARRYFLAG parameter to IPLGCPORT and specify TRM load threshold tables for IP paths. running the MML command ADD AAL2PATH, set the CARRYT parameter to ATMLOGICPORT and specify TRM load threshold tables for AAL2 paths.
(Optional) Perform the following steps to configure dedicated TRM mappings and TRM factor tables for operators:
1. Run the MML command ADD TRMMAP to configure a dedicated TRM mapping for each operator. 2. Run the MML command ADD TRMFACTOR to configure dedicated TRM factors for each operator. 3. Run the MML command ADD ADJMAP to set the CNMNGMODE parameter to EXCLUSIVE and specify the dedicated TRM mapping and TRM factor table for each operator.
