WCDMA RAN
2 Overview
Overview
The WCDMA system is an interference-limited system, and the most important way to restrain
system interference is power control. The power control is performed by the user equipment
(UE) and universal terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN) to adjust and control the power
of transmitting signals according to changes of the channel conditions and quality of received
signals. The uplink and downlink power is minimized while ensuring quality of service (QoS).
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

WCDMA RAN
2 Overview
2.1 Uplink and Downlink Power Control

The main purpose of power control is to decrease interference to other UEs and to lower UE
transmit power.
l
In the uplink, a UE emitting too high power will cause unacceptable competing interference
on the NodeB in comparison to signals coming from UEs at the cell edge. This is called
near-far effect. To avoid near-far effect, uplink power control is required.
In the downlink, the system capacity is determined by the total code power. Therefore, it
is necessary to keep the transmit power at the lowest possible level while still ensuring
signal quality at the UE.
Power control is also used to compensate for shadow and fast fading as well as power drift. By
using power control to compensate for power drift, soft handover performance in the downlink
is improved. The downlink power balance (DPB) algorithm is introduced to reduce the power
drift between links when the UE is in soft or softer handover.
2.2 Power Control Types

Power control is classified into the following types:
l
Open loop power control (WRFD-020501 Open Loop Power Control)

At open loop power control, the initial transmit power is calculated. The UE estimates the
power loss of signals on the propagation path by measuring the downlink channel signals
and then calculates the initial transmit power of the uplink channel. This method is rather
inaccurate and it is only applied at the beginning of a connection setup. Open loop power
control is applied on physical channels such as PRACH and DPCH.
Closed loop power control

At closed loop power control, the transmitter dynamically adjusts its transmit power
according to the feedback from the receiver of the other side. Closed loop power control is
further classified into the following types:
Inner loop power control (WRFD-020504 Inner Loop Power Control)
Inner loop power control directly adjusts the transmit power of the transmitter by using
power control commands. Inner loop power control is a fast power control method and
can be performed 1500 times per second.
Outer loop power control (WRFD-020503 Outer Loop Power Control)
The target SIR (hereafter referred to as SIRtarget) is dynamically adjusted according to
the uplink BLER/BER/RBLER/NHR. Outer loop power control indirectly controls the
transmit power of the transmitter.
Power control is classified into the following types, depending on channel types:
l
Common channel power control
DCH channel power control
HSDPA power control
HSUPA power control

3 Common Channel Power Control to 6 HSUPA Power Control describe power control,
including open loop and closed loop power control, for common channels, DCH channels,
HSDPA channels, and HSUPA channels, respectively. HS-PDSCH power is configured by
means of HSDPA power resource management and therefore this document does not describe
the HS-PDSCH channel.

control. You need to learn about the basic features before reading chapter 7 Power Control
Enhancement.

3 Common Channel Power Control
Common Channel Power Control
Common channels consist of the PRACH in the uplink and the P-CPICH, P-SCH, S-SCH, PCCPCH, S-CCPCH, AICH, and PICH in the downlink. Only open loop power control is used
on these common channels.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

WCDMA RAN
3.1 Power Control on Uplink Common Channels

The PRACH is the only common channel on which the uplink open loop power control is applied.
The process of power control on the PRACH is as follows:

1.
The UE transmits the first preamble to the NodeB to start an access process.
The power of the first preamble is computed with the following formula:
Preamble_Initial_Power = PCPICHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910)- CPICH_RSCP + UL
interference + Constantvalue(BSC6900,BSC6910)
where
l PCPICHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910) defines the P-CPICH transmit power in a cell.
l CPICH_RSCP is the received signal code power of the P-CPICH.
l UL interference indicates the uplink RTWP.
l Constantvalue(BSC6900,BSC6910) for calculating the initial transmit power
compensates for the RACH processing gain. It is broadcast in SIB 5.
2.
If no acquisition indicator is received by the UE, a preamble ramping procedure starts. To

avoid collisions, the UE must wait for a time between two consecutive preambles. The
waiting time is configured by AICHTxTiming(BSC6900,BSC6910) on the RNC. The
power of preamble is increased for each retransmission by a power ramp step configured
by PowerRampStep(BSC6900,BSC6910) on the RNC.
3.
If the UE receives a negative acquisition indicator on the AICH, the UE waits for a certain
period and then initiates the random access procedure again. This period is called the backoff delay. The parameters NB01min(BSC6900,BSC6910) and NB01max
(BSC6900,BSC6910) define the lower and upper limits of the back-off delay. If the value
of NB01min(BSC6900,BSC6910) is equal to that of NB01max(BSC6900,BSC6910), it
means that the retransmission period of the preamble part is fixed.
A preamble ramping procedure consists of several preamble ramping cycles, which cannot
exceed Mmax(BSC6900,BSC6910). In each cycle, the UE retransmits the preamble until
the UE receives the acquisition indicator or the number of retransmissions has reached
PreambleRetransMax(BSC6900,BSC6910).
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

WCDMA RAN
4.
If the UE receives a positive acquisition indicator, the UE exits the random access
procedure, sets the power for the message part, and transmits the message part after a period
configured by AICHTxTiming(BSC6900,BSC6910).
The message part consists of two parts: The control part and the data part. The power of
the control part is the same as the power of the last transmitted preamble plus a value defined
by PowerOffsetPpm(BSC6900,BSC6910). PowerOffsetPpm(BSC6900,BSC6910) must
be set for each instance of PRACH TFC.
It is recommended that the value of PowerOffsetPpm(BSC6900,BSC6910) be set to -3 dB

corresponding to the TFC for signaling transmission and be set to -2 dB corresponding to the
TFC for service transmission.
If the value of PowerOffsetPpm(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set too small, it is likely that the
signaling or the service data carried over the RACH cannot be correctly received, which affects
the uplink coverage. If the value is set too large, the uplink interference is increased, and the
uplink capacity is affected.
The power of the data part is calculated with the following formula:
Pdata = Pcontrol x (d/c)2
where
l
Pcontrol is the power for the control part.
d is the power gain factor for the data part. The value is defined by GainFactorBetaD
(BSC6900,BSC6910).
c is the power gain factor for the control part. The value is defined by GainFactorBetaC
(BSC6900,BSC6910).
The transmit power on the PRACH cannot be larger than the maximum allowed uplink transmit
power. This maximum power is limited by the following parameters configured on the RNC:
l
MaxUlTxPowerforConv(BSC6900,BSC6910) (conversational)
MaxUlTxPowerforBac(BSC6900,BSC6910) (background)
MaxUlTxPowerforInt(BSC6900,BSC6910) (interactive)
MaxUlTxPowerforStr(BSC6900,BSC6910) (streaming)
MaxAllowedUlTxPower(BSC6900,BSC6910)
Larger values increase coverage of corresponding service type. If the values of these parameters
are too large, there is a risk the uplink and downlink coverage of related service will become
unbalanced. If the values of these parameters are too small, there is a risk the uplink coverage
will become smaller than the downlink coverage of the service. If there is no special requirement,
use the default values.
3.2 Power Control on Downlink Common Channels

This section describes how much power is allocated to downlink common channels.
The downlink common channels are as follows:
l
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)
Primary Common Pilot Channel (P-CPICH)

WCDMA RAN
Primary Synchronization Channel (P-SCH)
Secondary Synchronization Channel (S-SCH)
Primary Common Control Physical Channel (P-CCPCH)
Secondary Common Control Physical Channel (S-CCPCH)
Acquisition Indicator Channel (AICH)
Paging Indicator Channel (PICH)
The power of downlink common channels is fixed and can be configured on the RNC by the
parameters listed in the following table.
Parameter
Description
PCPICHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910)
The P-CPICH power is specified by

PCPICHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910) as an
absolute value in dBm. The transmit power of
any other channel is an offset from the PCPICH power. P-CPICH transmit power is
related to the downlink coverage defined
during network planning.
If the value of this parameter is too small, it
will directly influence the downlink pilot
coverage range.
If it is too large, the downlink interference
will increase, and the transmit power that can
be distributed to the services will be reduced,
which will affect the downlink capacity.
In addition, the configuration of this
parameter has influence on the distribution of
handover areas.
PSCHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910)
SSCHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910)
The values of PSCHPower

(BSC6900,BSC6910) and SSCHPower
(BSC6900,BSC6910) must not be too large.
The parameter values can be adjusted based
on the measurement in the actual
environment, so that the transmit power of the
synchronization channels satisfies the UE
reception and demodulation requirements.
The transmit power should be enough to
ensure that a UE can implement fast
synchronization in most areas of the cell edge.
Neither the P-SCH nor the S-SCH comes
through channel code spectrum spreading, so
they produce more serious interference than
other channels, especially for near-end UEs.

WCDMA RAN
Parameter
Description
BCHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910)
BCHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set
based on the measurement in the actual
environment. If the value of this parameter is
too small, the UEs at the cell edge will fail to
receive the system information correctly, and
the downlink coverage will be influenced. If
the value is too large, other channels are
affected and the cell capacity will be reduced.
MaxFachPower(BSC6900,BSC6910)
Set the value of MaxFachPower

(BSC6900,BSC6910) to a value that is
enough to ensure the target block error rate
(BLER). If the value of this parameter is too
small, the UEs at the cell edge will fail to
receive correctly the services and signaling
carried over the FACH, which results in
influence on the downlink coverage. If it is
too large, other channels will be affected and
the cell capacity will be reduced.
In addition, when the downlink power is
overloaded, MaxFachPower
(BSC6900,BSC6910) may be changed. For
the related function, see Load Control
Feature Parameter Description.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)
PCHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910)
If the value of this parameter is too small, the

UEs at the cell edge will fail to receive paging
messages correctly, which will influence cell
coverage. If it is too large, other channels will

If the value of this parameter is too small, the

4 DCH Channel Power Control
DCH Channel Power Control
4.1 Overview
DCH channels consist of the DPCH in the uplink and the DPCH and the F-DPCH in the
downlink. Uplink DPCHs consist of the uplink DPCCH and the uplink DPDCH, and they use
different OVSF codes. Downlink DPCHs consist of the downlink DPCCH and DPDCH, and
they use the same OVSF code by time division multiplexing.
DCH channel power control methods are open loop power control, inner loop power control,
and outer loop power control.
l
Open loop power control provides initial power of channels.
Inner loop power control adjusts channel power by comparing the SIR of the received signal
with the SIRtarget.
Outer loop power control adjusts the SIRtarget by comparing the BLER target and the BLER
of the received DCH.
Figure 4-1 shows an example of uplink DCH channel power control.

4.2 Open Loop Power Control

Based on the measurement of received downlink signal power, open loop power control attempts
to make a coarse estimation of the path loss and based on this provide initial power for the UE
and NodeB.
4.2.1 Uplink Open Loop Power Control on DPCH

The uplink open loop power control on the DPCH is to calculate the initial power of the first
DPCCH. The initial power of the DPDCH is calculated based on the power offset between the
DPCCH and the DPDCH.
Initial Power of Uplink DPCCH

The UE calculates the initial power with the following formula:
DPCCH_Initial_Power = DPCCH_Power_Offset - CPICH_RSCP
where
l
DPCCH_Initial_Power is the initial power.
DPCCH_Power_Offset is provided by the RNC and sent to the UE.
CPICH_RSCP is the received signal code power of the P-CPICH.
The DPCCH_Power_Offset is calculated by the RNC with the following formula:

DPCCH_Power_Offset = PCPICHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910) + Uplink interference +
DefaultConstantValue(BSC6900,BSC6910)
where
l
DPCCH_Power_Offset is the power offset of the DPCCH.
PCPICHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910) defines the P-CPICH transmit power in a cell. This

value is broadcast in SIB 5.
Uplink interference is the uplink RTWP measured by the NodeB and sent to the UE through
the SIB 7.
DefaultConstantValue(BSC6900,BSC6910) is used to set the power offset of the DPCCH

to a conservative level to avoid excessive uplink interference.
Power of Uplink DPDCH

The power of the uplink DPDCH is set as a power offset (d/c) reference to the uplink DPCCH.
The uplink DPCCH and DPDCHs are transmitted through different channel codes. To meet a
given QoS requirement on the transport channels, different TFCs use different power offsets.
The RNC has a set of reference values (c,ref and d,ref) that are stored for each predefined radio
access bearer (RAB) or signaling radio bearer (SRB). c,ref and d,ref can be configured by
BETAC(BSC6900,BSC6910) and BETAD(BSC6900,BSC6910) on the RNC.
The RNC calculates a new power offset for each TFC based on the reference values dynamically
and sends the power offset to the UE.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

13
WCDMA RAN
In an RAB combination, all the radio bearers use the reference values of the bearer who has the
maximum bit rate. For example, for the combination of 3.4 kbit/s SRB service, 384 kbit/s
background service, and 12.2 kbit/s AMR service, the reference power offset values applied are
those belonging to the 384 kbit/s background radio bearer.
Preamble of Uplink DPCCH Power Control

An uplink DPCCH Power Control (PC) preamble is a segment of uplink DPCCH transmission
that is sent before the start of the uplink DPDCH transmission. The PC preamble is used to ensure
that the inner loop power control has converged before the transmission of DPDCH data starts.
The RNC transfers the PC preamble parameter (number of DPCCH preamble timeslots) to the
UE by using RRC signaling. The UE does not send any data on SRBs during the frames of
preambles and frames indicated in the SRB delay IE.
Depending on application scenarios, different values for the length of PC preamble and SRB
delay are used as follows:
l
In the case of RRC connection establishment, the length of PC preamble is seven frames
and SRB delay is zero frames.
In the case of hard handover, the length of PC preamble is seven frames and SRB delay is
also seven frames.
When the DPCCH PC preamble has been transmitted and the SRB delay passed, the UE starts
transmitting data on the DPDCH at initial transmit power.
4.2.2 Downlink Open Loop Power Control on DPCH

Downlink open loop power control on the DPCH is to calculate the DPDCH power based on
the measurement results in the RACH IE from the UE. The DPCCH power is set as the power
offset reference to the DPDCH.
Initial Power of Downlink DPDCH

The RNC uses the P-CPICH power, the traffic rate requested by the UE, measured Ec/No on
CPICH and the downlink transmitted carrier power as input in calculating the initial power of
downlink DPDCH.
During soft handover, the initial power of the new radio link decreases by a power offset of 15
dB to save downlink power. The decrease is valid only when
PC_DOWNLINK_POWER_BALANCE_SWITCH under the PcSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is selected.
The power of the downlink DPDCH is limited for each radio link by the RlMaxDlPwr
(BSC6900,BSC6910) and RlMinDlPwr(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameters. The values for
RlMaxDlPwr(BSC6900,BSC6910) and RlMinDlPwr(BSC6900,BSC6910) are different for
different data rates of RABs.
l
If the UE establishes only one service on the DCH, the maximum and minimum transmit
power of the DPDCH are determined by the values of RlMaxDlPwr
(BSC6900,BSC6910) and RlMinDlPwr(BSC6900,BSC6910) for this service.
If the UE establishes multiple services on the DCH, the maximum and minimum transmit
power of the DPDCH are determined together by the values for RlMaxDlPwr
(BSC6900,BSC6910) and RlMinDlPwr(BSC6900,BSC6910), and rate matching and
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

14
WCDMA RAN
spreading gains of each service. This ensures that the maximum and minimum downlink
power for the DPDCH meets the power requirements of each service.
If the WRFD-150235 DPCH Maximum Power Restriction feature is activated, the NodeB will
adjust the value of RlMaxDlPwr(BSC6900,BSC6910) for the downlink HSDPA A-DPCH. For
details about this feature, see section 7.1.2 DPCH Maximum Power Restriction (A-DPCH is
short for associated dedicated physical channel.)
Power of Downlink DPCCH

The downlink DPCCH consists of three fields: TFCI, TPC, and pilot. Their power is set as the
offset reference to the power of the downlink DPDCHs.
The downlink power on the DPCCH and its associated DPDCHs is simultaneously regulated.
Therefore, power control adjusts the power of the DPCCH and DPDCHs with the same step,
and the power offset between the DPCCH and the DPDCH keeps constant.
Power offsets between the DPCCH and the DPDCH in the downlink are identical for all TFCs
in the TFCS, whereas in the uplink the power offsets are TFC-dependent.
The power offsets of TFCI and TPC of the DPCCH relative to the power of DPDCHs are fixed
at 0 dB and 3 dB, respectively.
l
If the WRFD-150230 DPCH Pilot Power Adjustment feature is not activated, the pilotfield power offset has a fixed value of 3 dB.
If this feature is activated, see section 7.1.1 DPCH Pilot Power Adjustment for the setting
of the pilot-field power offset.
4.2.3 Downlink Open Loop Power Control on F-DPCH

Open loop power control on the F-DPCH uses the P-CPICH power, the downlink transmitted
carrier power, measured Ec/No on CPICH and the Ec/No required for satisfying the TPC symbol
error rate of the F-DPCH as input in calculating the initial power of downlink F-DPCH.
During soft handover, the initial power of the new radio link decreases by a power offset of 15
dB to save downlink power. The decrease is valid only when
PC_DOWNLINK_POWER_BALANCE_SWITCH under the PcSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is selected.
The power of the downlink F-DPCH is limited by the maximum power (PCPICHPower
(BSC6900,BSC6910) + FdpchMaxRefPwr(BSC6900,BSC6910) + FdpchPO2
(BSC6900,BSC6910)) and minimum power ((PCPICHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910) +
FdpchMinRefPwr(BSC6900,BSC6910) + FdpchPO2(BSC6900,BSC6910)).
4.3 Inner Loop Power Control

Inner loop power control is also called fast power control. The UE or NodeB controls the transmit
power according to the power control information returned from the receiver, to compensate for
the fading of radio links.
Inner loop power control consists of uplink inner loop power control and downlink inner loop
power control, which work independently. The inner loop power control may work in normal
mode or compressed mode.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

15
WCDMA RAN
4.3.1 Uplink Inner Loop Power Control in Normal Mode on DPCH

Uplink inner loop power control is used on the DPCCH. The power of the relative DPDCHs is
configured as the power offset (d/c) reference to the power of the DPCCH. For details of the
DPDCH, see section "Uplink Open Loop Power Control on DPCH."
The procedure of inner loop power control on the uplink DPCCH is as follows:
1.
The RNC sends an SIRtarget, denoted as SIRtarget, to the cells in the active set.
2.
Each cell in the active set estimates the SIR, denoted as SIRest, at each timeslot and
compares it with the SIRtarget.
3.
The cell in the active set sends a TPC command to the UE based on the comparison result.
l If SIRest is larger than SIRtarget, the cell in the active set sends a TPC command 0 to the
UE.
l If SIRest is smaller than or equal to SIRtarget, the cell in the active set sends a TPC
command 1 to the UE.
4.
The UE adjusts the transmit power according to the TPC command.

There are two types of inner loop power control algorithms: PCA1 and PCA2. The UE uses
the algorithms to translate the received TPC commands. The RNC can select the algorithm
based on the configuration of PwrCtrlAlg(BSC6900,BSC6910) and inform the UE of the
selected algorithm.
When using the PCA1, the UE adjusts the uplink transmit power for every timeslot. When using
the PCA2, the UE adjusts the uplink transmit power in a 5-timeslot cycle. The power increment/
reduction is calculated with the following formula:
DPCCH = TPC x TPC_cmd
where
l
DPCCH is power increment/reduction on the DPCCH.
TPC_cmd is calculated by the PCA1 or PCA2 according to the TPC command received by
the UE.
TPC is the step of power control. For PCA1, it is determined by UlTpcStepSize
(BSC6900,BSC6910). For PCA2, the step is fixed at 1 dB.
4.3.2 Uplink Inner Loop Power Control in Compressed Mode on

DPCH
The power control method in compressed mode is similar to that in normal mode, and it aims at
restoring the SIR to the SIRtarget as quickly as possible after each transmission gap, to avoid
block errors during and after the compressed frames. To achieve this restoration, the power
control increases the power and the SIRtarget used in the UE.
Adjusting SIRtarget
During the transmission gap, the cells in the active set do not estimate the SIR and generate TPC
commands. The SIRtarget used in compressed mode will be increased to compensate for the
interruption due to transmission gaps.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

16
WCDMA RAN
The compressed and non-compressed frames in uplink DPCCH may have a different number of
pilots per slot. In the compressed frame, the number of pilots per slot is decreased. So the
SIRtarget used in compressed mode need take the change of the number of pilot bits into
consideration. The compensated SIRtarget for the change of the number of pilot bits is calculated
by the following formula:
SIRPILOT = 10Log10 (Npilot,N/Npilot,curr_frame)
where
l
SIRPILOT is the compensated SIRtarget.
Npilot,curr_frame is the number of pilot bits per timeslot in the current uplink frame.
Npilot,N is the number of pilot bits per timeslot in a normal uplink frame without a
transmission gap.
Adjusting Power
The UE uses DPCCH to adjust the UE uplink DPCCH transmit power on each timeslot in
compressed mode.
DPCCH = TPC x TPC_cmd + PILOT
where
l
DPCCH is power increment/reduction.
TPC is the step of power control.
TPC_cmd is calculated from TPCs by the PCA algorithm
PILOT = 10Log10 (Npilot,prev/Npilot,curr)

where
Npilot,prev is the number of pilot bits in the previous transmitted timeslot.
Npilot,curr is the number of pilot bits in the current timeslot.
Table 4-1 provides the comparison between uplink inner loop power control in normal and
compressed modes.

4.3.3 Downlink Inner Loop Power Control in Normal Mode on

DPCH/F-DPCH
The power of the downlink DPDCH is set as the offset reference to the power of the DPCCH.
Therefore, downlink inner loop power control regulates the power of the DPCCH and DPDCH
together. For details of the offset, see section 4.2.2 Downlink Open Loop Power Control on
DPCH.
The procedure of downlink inner loop power control is as follows:
1.
The UE obtains the SIRtarget from its Layer 3 (L3).

The SIRtarget is determined by outer loop power control. For a downlink F-DPCH, the
SIRtarget is set automatically by the UE based on the error rate target of TPC command sent
from the UTRAN.
2.
The UE estimates the downlink SIR from the pilot symbols of the downlink DPCH,
expressed as SIRest, and compares the SIRest with the SIRtarget.
3.
Based on the comparison result, the UE transmits a TPC command to the NodeB.
l If SIRest is larger than SIRtarget, the UE sends a TPC command 0 to the NodeB.
l If SIRest is less than SIRtarget, the UE sends a TPC command 1 to the NodeB.
The UE sends a TPC command to the NodeB periodically; the interval is decided by
DpcMode(BSC6900,BSC6910). When DpcMode(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to
SINGLE_TPC, the UE sends a TPC command for every timeslot; when DpcMode
(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to TPC_TRIPLET_IN_SOFT, the UE sends a TPC
command in a 3-timeslot cycle; when DpcMode(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to
TPC_AUTO_ADJUST, the interval can be adjusted automatically by sending the
ACTIVE SET UPDATE message to the UE.
4.
The UTRAN estimates the transmitted TPC and updates the DPCH power every timeslot.
In the case of softer handover, the NodeB uses the maximum ratio combining (MRC)
algorithm to derive a combined TPC command.
The UTRAN calculates the power adjustment with the following formula:
P(k) = P(k-1) + PTPC(k) + Pbal(k)
where
l
P(k) is the new downlink power.
P(k-1) is the current downlink power.
PTPC(k) is the kth power adjustment due to the received TPC of inner loop power control.
Pbal(k) is a correction due to downlink power balance. In the scenario of a single radio link,
Pbal is equal to 0. For details, see chapter 4.3.5 Downlink Power Balance.
The PTPC(k) is calculated as follows:

If PC_INNER_LOOP_LMTED_PWR_INC_SWITCH under the PcSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to OFF, then the following formula is used:
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

18
WCDMA RAN
If the TPC is equal to 1, the power is increased by TPC.
If the TPC is equal to 0, the power decreases by TPC.
TPC is determined by FddTpcDlStepSize(BSC6900,BSC6910). TPCest is the estimated

TPC.
If PC_INNER_LOOP_LMTED_PWR_INC_SWITCH under the PcSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to ON, then the following formula is used:
If the TPC is equal to 1, and the sum of sum(k) and TPC is smaller than
Power_Raise_Limit, the power is increased by TPC.
If the TPC is equal to 1, and the sum of sum(k) and TPC is larger than or equal to
Power_Raise_Limit, the power is not adjusted.
If the TPC is equal to 0, the power decreases by TPC.

where
sum(k) is the sum of inner loop power increment/reduction within 20 timeslots.
Power_Raise_Limit is fixed at 10 dB.
4.3.4 Downlink Inner Loop Power Control in Compressed Mode on

DPCH/F-DPCH
The power control method in compressed mode is similar to that in normal mode, and it aims at
restoring the SIR to the SIRtarget as quickly as possible after each transmission gap, to avoid
block errors during and after the compressed frames. To achieve this restoration, the power
control increases the power and the SIRtarget used in the UE.
Adjusting SIRtarget
The calculation method of the downlink SIRtarget in compressed mode is similar with that of
uplink. The RNC uses compression method and the position of transmission timeslot in the
current frame as input in calculating SIRtarget in the compressed mode.
Adjusting Power
The power of the DPCCH and DPDCH in the first timeslot after the transmission gap should be
set to the same value as that in the timeslot just before the transmission gap.
In compressed mode, the UTRAN estimates the power with the following formula:
P(k) = P(k-1) + PTPC(k) + PSIR(k) + Pbal(k)
where
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

19
WCDMA RAN
P(k) is the new power.
P(k-1) is the current downlink power.
PTPC(k) is the kth power adjustment due to the received TPC of inner loop power control.
PSIR(k) is the kth power adjustment due to the downlink SIRtarget variation.
For the F-DPCH, the power offset PSIR(k) = 0.
Pbal(k) is a correction due to downlink power balance.
Table 4-2 provides the comparison between downlink inner loop power control in normal and
compressed modes.

4.3.5 Downlink Power Balance

This chapter describes the feature WRFD-020502 Downlink Power Balance.
Downlink power balance is used to reduce power drift between downlink radio links in macro
diversity operation.
During soft handover, the uplink TPC command is demodulated in each radio link set (RLS).
Because of demodulation errors, the downlink transmit power of each branch drifts separately,
which causes loss to the macro diversity gain.
During softer handover, the power among all branches may drift because of initial power
difference.
The DPB algorithm is introduced to reduce the power drift between links when the UE is in soft
or softer handover.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

20
WCDMA RAN
Figure 4-2 Downlink power balance
The implementation of the DPB algorithm is as follows:

1.
Reporting the transmitted code power

According to measurement control from the RNC, the NodeB periodically reports the
transmitted code power of each radio link in soft or softer handover to the RNC.
2.
Evaluating the power difference

For UEs in softer handover, the RNC evaluates the power difference of the radio links and
decides whether to start or stop downlink power balance. For UEs in soft handover,
downlink power balance is always active.
3.
Calculating the UE downlink reference power (Pref)

The RNC calculates the downlink reference power Pref and transmits the Pref to the NodeB
through the DOWNLINK POWER CONTROL REQUEST message.
Pref = 0.5 x (Pmax - Pcpich, max) +0.5 x (Pmin - Pcpich, min)
where
l Pref is the downlink reference power.
l Pmax is the maximum downlink transmitted code power of all the UE radio links.
l Pcpich, max is the P-CPICH power value of the cell that has the highest downlink
transmitted code power among all the UE radio links.
l Pmin is the minimum downlink transmitted code power of all the UE radio links.
l Pcpich, min is the P-CPICH power value of the cell that has the lowest downlink
transmitted code power among all the UE radio links.
4.
The NodeB calculates and adjusts the transmitted code power of each radio link.
In a DPB adjustment period of two frames, the total power correction is calculated with the
following formula:
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

21
WCDMA RAN
Pbal = (1-r) x (Pref + PP-CPICH - Pinit)

where
l Pbal is the total power correction.
l r is fixed at 0.
l Pref is the reference power that is calculated in the previous step.
l PP-CPICH is the P-CPICH transmit power in a cell, which is defined by PCPICHPower
(BSC6900,BSC6910).
l Pinit is the transmit power of a radio link before adjustment.
Pbal determines the total power to be adjusted in a DPB adjustment cycle. In a 4timeslot cycle, the total power to be adjusted cannot exceed 1 dB, and the adjustment
step of each timeslot is fixed at 0.25 dB.
The transmitted code power is calculated with the following formula:
P(i) = P(i-1) + PTPC(i) + Pbal(i)
where
l
P(i) is the transmitted code power of timeslot i.
P(i-1) is the transmitted code power of timeslot (i-1).
PTPC is the result of inner loop power control.
Pbal is a corrective term introduced by downlink power balance.
4.4 Outer Loop Power Control

There are the DCH outer loop power control algorithm and E-DCH outer loop power control
algorithm depending on where RBs are carried. This section describes the DCH outer loop power
control algorithm based on the BLER or bit error rate (BER). For the E-DCH outer loop power
control algorithm based on the NHR or RBLER, see section 6.3 E-DCH Outer Loop Power
Control.
Outer loop power control is a part of the closed loop power control, used to maintain the
communication quality at the level required by the service bearer through adjustment of the
SIRtarget. This power control acts on each DCH belonging to the same RRC connection.
The SIRtarget needs to be adjusted when the UE speed or the multi-path propagation environment
changes, so that the communication quality can remain unaffected.
The adjustment of the SIRtarget is based on the BLER or BER.
When PC_OLPC_SWITCH under the PcSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to
ON, there are two cases:
l
If there is data transmission in the uplink, the SRNC adjusts the SIRtarget based on the BLER.
If there is no data transmission in the uplink, the SRNC adjusts the SIRtarget based on the
BER.
When PC_OLPC_SWITCH under the PcSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to
OFF, the SIRtarget is fixed and the uplink outer loop power control for all UEs is deactivated.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

22
WCDMA RAN
Downlink outer loop power control is implemented by the UE. Therefore, downlink outer loop
power control is determined by the UE manufacturer.
4.4.1 Uplink Outer Loop Power Control Based on BLER

The uplink quality is observed after macro diversity selection combining in the RNC. Therefore,
uplink outer loop power control is performed in the SRNC.
Figure 4-3 Uplink outer loop power control
The SRNC compares the received block error ratio (BLER) with the BLER target. If the received
BLER is larger than the BLER target, the SRNC increases the SIRtarget. Otherwise, the SRNC
decreases the SIRtarget.
The SIRtarget is calculated in the following formula:
SIRtar(n) = MAX {[SIRtar(n-1) + (BLERmeas((n-1),1) BLERtar(1))/BLERtar(1) x Step(1)],
[SIRtar(n-1) + (BLERmeas((n-1),2) BLERtar(2))/ BLERtar(2) x Step(2)]...[SIRtar(n-1) +
(BLERmeas((n-1),i) BLERtar(i))/BLERtar(i) x Step(i)]}
where
l
MAX is the maximum value of the SIRtarget in the total i transport channels in the nth
adjustment period.
i is the ith transport channel and is from 1 to actual max number of the transport channels.
n is the nth adjustment period.
SIRtar(n) is the SIRtarget used in the nth adjustment period which can be defined by the
SirAdjustPeriod(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
BLERmeas(n,i) is the instantaneous BLER measured for the ith transport channel in the nth
adjustment period. The BLERmeas(n,i) is calculated with the following formula:
BLERmeans(n,i) = TerrTb(n,i)/Tb(n,i)
where
Tb(n,i) is the number of all blocks received from the ith transport channel in the nth
adjustment period.
TerrTb(n,i) is the number of error blocks indicated by the cyclic redundancy check
indicator (CRCI) in the Tb(n,i) that is received from the ith transport channel.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

23
WCDMA RAN
BLERtar(i) is the BLERtarget of the ith transport channel, which could be defined by the
BLERQuality(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
Step(i) is the adjustment step of the ith transport channel, which could be defined by the
SirAdjustStep(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
SIRtarget is adjusted per steps. In an outer loop power control adjustment period (SirAdjustPeriod
(BSC6900,BSC6910)), the maximum increase/decrease must not exceed a specified value
(MaxSirStepUp(BSC6900,BSC6910)/MaxSirStepDn(BSC6900,BSC6910)), and SIRtarget
must not exceed the upper threshold (MaxSirtarget(BSC6900,BSC6910)) and lower threshold
(MinSirtarget(BSC6900,BSC6910)). The SIRtar limitation is calculated with the following
formula:
SIRtar = SIRtar(n+1) SIRtar(n)
l
If (SIRtar > 0) and (SIRtar > MaxSirStepUp(BSC6900,BSC6910)), then SIRtar(n+1) =

SIRtar(n) + MaxSirStepUp(BSC6900,BSC6910).
If (SIRtar < 0) and (ABS(SIRtar) > MaxSirStepDn(BSC6900,BSC6910)), then SIRtar(n

+1) = SIRtar(n) MaxSirStepDn(BSC6900,BSC6910).
SirAdjustPeriod(BSC6900,BSC6910) specifies the adjustment period of outer loop power

control. Outer loop power control period works against changes in radio environment. A faster
changing radio environment leads to a shorter outer loop power control adjustment period,
whereas a slower changing environment makes the period longer.
In case of multi-service:
l
The maximum value of the SIRtarget among multiple services is used for the SIRtarget
adjustment.
If one of the services requires increase in the SIRtarget, the reconfigured SIRtarget cannot
exceed that maximum value.
The maximum value can be decreased only when all the services require decrease in the
SIRtarget.
After adjusting the SIRtarget, the SRNC sends the new SIRtarget through Frame Protocol (FP)
frames to all NodeBs under the SRNC for uplink inner loop power control.
The initial SIRtarget value is service-dependent and is provided by the RNC to the NodeB.
For different traffic classes, the adjustment step, maximum increase, maximum decrease of
SIRtarget vary. Therefore, such variables are configured according to the traffic class. Table
4-3 lists recommended parameter configurations of typical services.

4.4.2 Uplink Outer Loop Power Control Based on BER

Outer loop power control based on the BER is similar to the outer loop power control based on
the BLER, but the BER is used as the control object. When the UE is in discontinuous
transmission (DTX) mode, the RNC cannot receive data or update the BLER. Therefore, the
BER is used to solve this problem.
In an optimal condition, the BER target is the average BER after filtering within the adjustment
period. The BER target is obtained before the DTX period starts during the outer loop power
control period. During soft handover, the BER target is the minimum value among all the links.
When the BLER is a constant, the BER on the DPCCH can vary within a limited range.
The BERtarget is calculated in the following formula:
F(n) = (1-a) x F(n-1) + a x M(n)
where
l
F(n) is the average BER value after filtering.
a is the filter coefficient which can be set through the DtxBerTarFilterCoef

(BSC6900,BSC6910) or NonDtxBerTarFilterCoef(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
F(n-1) is the last average BER value after filtering, that is, the last filtering value.
M(n) is the current BER value.
During the DTX, the MAC measures the BER on the DPCCH, and the RNC compares it with
the BER target. If the measured BER is smaller than the BER target, outer loop power control
decreases the SIRtarget. Otherwise, outer loop power control increases the SIRtarget.
4.4.3 Downlink Outer Loop Power Control

Downlink outer loop power control is implemented by the UE. Therefore, this algorithm is UE
manufacturer specific.
The information signaled to the UE by the RNC is a quality target for each radio bearer, expressed
as a BLER target. Then, depending on the manufacturer-specific outer loop power control
algorithm, an initial SIRtarget value can be deduced from this BLER value.

5 HSDPA Power Control
HSDPA Power Control
This chapter describes the feature WRFD-01061004 HSDPA Power Control.

Physical channels introduced by HSDPA are the HS-DPCCH in the uplink and the HS-SCCH
and HS-PDSCH in the downlink.
In the following situation, the power of the HS-PDSCH is dynamically allocated by TFRC and
does not require the function of power control.
l
The UE is in the CELL_DCH state.
The UE is in the enhanced CELL_FACH state and the HS-PDSCH carries the DTCH,
DCCH or CCCH.
For detail information about TFRC, see HSDPA Feature Parameter Description.
When the UE is in the enhanced CELL_FACH state and the HS-PDSCH carries the BCCH, the
power of the HS-PDSCH is determined by the offset relative to the P-CPICH power. The offset
is specified by BcchHspdschPower(BSC6900,BSC6910).
When the UE is in the enhanced CELL_PCH or enhanced URA_PCH state, the power of the
HS-PDSCH is determined by the offset relative to the P-CPICH power. The offset is specified
by EPCHHSPDSCHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910).
This section mainly introduces the HS-DPCCH power control and HS-SCCH power control.

5.1 Power Control on HS-DPCCH

Overview
The power of the HS-DPCCH is set by several power offsets between the HS-DPCCH and the
associated uplink DPCCH. The power offsets consist of the ACK power offset, NACK power
offset, and CQI power offset, as shown in Figure 5-1. The power offsets are set at each HSDPCCH TTI.
Figure 5-1 Power Control on HS-DPCCH
The HS-DPCCH transmit power is calculated with the following formula:

PHS-DPCCH = PUL DPCCH x 10HS-DPCCH/10
where
l
PUL DPCCH is the transmit power of the associated uplink DPCCH.
HS-DPCCH refers to the power offset of ACK, NACK, or CQI, that is, the power
difference between the ACK/NACK/CQI and the uplink DPCCH.
The power offsets of ACK and NACK are related to the ACK/NACK repetition factor and HSDPCCH preamble transmission indication. The power offset of CQI is related to the CQI
repetition factor and CQI repetition period.
A preamble and a postamble are transmitted before and after the NACK/ACK feedback
respectively to improve the ACK/NACK decoding reliability. The transmit power of the first
timeslot of the HS-DPCCH ACK/NACK can decrease to reduce the interference in the uplink.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

28
WCDMA RAN
ACK/NACK/CQI Power Offset

The power offset is related to the number of RLSs and the repetition factor. DPCCHs have macro
diversity gains, but the HS-DPCCH does not have. Therefore, the more links a UE in the soft
handover state has, the larger the power offset should be set. The larger the repetition factor is,
the smaller the power offset should be set.
The RNC automatically sets the ACK, NACK, and CQI power offsets according to the UE
capability and the number of RLSs in the active set.
l
When the UE is in the single-RLS state:

CQI power offset from the uplink DPCCH is specified by the CQIPO
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
ACK power offset from the uplink DPCCH is specified by the ACKPO1
(BSC6900,BSC6910), ACKPO2(BSC6900,BSC6910), and ACKPO3
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameters.
NACK power offset from the uplink DPCCH is specified by theNACKPO1
(BSC6900,BSC6910), NACKPO2(BSC6900,BSC6910), and NACKPO3
When the UE is in the multi-RLS state:

CQI power offset from the uplink DPCCH is specified by the CQIPOforSHO
ACK power offset from the uplink DPCCH is specified by the ACKPO1forSHO
(BSC6900,BSC6910), ACKPO2forSHO(BSC6900,BSC6910), and ACKPO3forSHO
NACK power offset from the uplink DPCCH is specified by the NACKPO1forSHO
(BSC6900,BSC6910), NACKPO2forSHO(BSC6900,BSC6910), and
NACKPO3forSHO(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameters.
Repetition Factors
Repetition factors of ACK/NACK and CQI are signaled to the UE and NodeB from the RNC.
l
CQI repetition factor:

When the UE is in the single-RLS state, CQI repetition factor is specified by the
CQIReF(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
When the UE is in the multi-RLS state, CQI repetition factor is specified by the
CQIReFforSHO(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
ACK or NACK repetition factor:

When Minimum inter-TTI interval for the UE capability equals 1 and the UE is in
the single-RLS state, the ACK or NACK repletion factor is set to 1.
When the UE is in the multi-RLS state, the ACK or NACK repletion factor is set to 1.
The UE does not attempt to receive or decode transport blocks from the HS-DSCH sub-frames
during the UE ACK or NACK retransmission.

WCDMA RAN
For details about these parameters, see section 5.1.2.5A "Setting of the uplink HS-DPCCH power
relative to DPCCH power" in 3GPP TS 25.214 V9.4.0.
CQI Feedback Cycle

The CQI feedback cycle is signaled to the UE and NodeB from the RNC.
When the UE is in the single-RLS state, duration of a CQI feedback cycle is specified by
CQIFbCk(BSC6900,BSC6910). In each CQI feedback cycle, the UE retransmits CQI for N
times repeatedly, where N represents the value of CQI repetition factor and is specified by
CQIReF(BSC6900,BSC6910). The value of CQIFbCk(BSC6900,BSC6910) is 0 that indicates
no CQI information sent from the UE.
When the UE is in the multi-RLS state, duration of a CQI feedback cycle is specified by
CQIFbCkforSHO(BSC6900,BSC6910). When the UE is in the multi-RLS state, in each CQI
feedback cycle, the UE retransmits CQI for N times repeatedly, where N represents the value
of CQI repetition factor in the multi-RLS state and is specified by CQIReFforSHO
(BSC6900,BSC6910). Value 0 of CQIFbCkforSHO(BSC6900,BSC6910) indicates that no CQI
information sent from the UE.
For conversational services, the period of sending the CQI feedback is specified by
CQIFBckforConver(BSC6900,BSC6910). For non-conversational services in MIMO mode
without DC-HSDPA, especially the BE services and streaming services, the period of sending
the CQI feedback is specified by CQIFBckforMimo(BSC6900,BSC6910). For nonconversational services in MIMO+DC-HSDPA mode, especially the BE services and streaming
services, the period of sending the CQI feedback is specified by CQIFBckforDcMimo
(BSC6900,BSC6910).
5.2 Power Control on HS-SCCH

5.2.1 Power Control on HS-SCCH in CELL_DCH
The power control method for the HS-SCCH in CELL_DCH can be fixed (fixed transmit power
control) or CQI-based (dynamic transmit power control). The method is specified by
HSSCCHPWRCMINDCH.
l
Fixed transmit power control: The power of the HS-SCCH is determined by the offset
relative to the P-CPICH power. The offset is specified by SCCHPWR. The transmit power
of the HS-SCCH is fixed without consideration of the channel quality but with
consideration of the receive quality of UEs at the cell edge.
Dynamic transmit power control based on CQI: The NodeB dynamically adjusts the
transmit power of the HS-SCCH based on the following information to improve the
resource usage in the downlink.
CQI reported by the UE
DTX detected by the NodeB
Target FER of the HS-SCCH, which can be set by HSSCCHFERTRGTINDCH on the
NodeB
5.2.2 Power Control on HS-SCCH in Enhanced CELL_FACH

When the UE is in the enhanced CELL_FACH state, its data and control information can be
transmitted through the HS-PDSCH and HS-SCCH. The UE in the enhanced CELL_FACH state
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

30
WCDMA RAN
has no dedicated connection with the physical layer of the NodeB, and the UE does not quickly
report the CQI, ACK, or NACK to the NodeB. Therefore, the function for HS-SCCH power
control needs to be modified.
l
When the UE is in the enhanced CELL_FACH state and the HS-PDSCH carries the BCCH,
the power of the HS-SCCH is determined by the offset relative to the P-CPICH power. The
offset is specified by BcchHsscchPower(BSC6900,BSC6910).
When the UE is in the enhanced CELL_FACH state and the HS-PDSCH carries the user
data, the power control method for the HS-SCCH can be fixed (fixed transmit power
control) or CQI-based (dynamic transmit power control). The method is specified by
HsScchPwrCMInEfach.
Fixed transmit power control: The power of the HS-SCCH is determined by the offset
relative to the P-CPICH power. The offset is specified by BcchHsscchPower
(BSC6900,BSC6910).
Dynamic transmit power control based on CQI: The NodeB converts the measured
CPICH Ec/No into CQI, based on which the transmit power of the HS-SCCH is
estimated.
NOTE
Because there is no corresponding interface for the UE to report the measured CPICH Ec/No to the NodeB,
the UE obtains the measured CPICH Ec/No and reports the value to the RNC, and then the RNC assigns
the measured CPICH Ec/No to the NodeB over the HS-DSCH.
5.2.3 Power Control on HS-SCCH in Enhanced CELL_PCH/

URA_PCH
When the UE in the enhanced CELL_PCH/URA_PCH state receives downlink data from the
HS-PDSCH, the UE does not return any ACK/NACK response or CQI information. In this case,
the power of the HS-SCCH is determined by the offset relative to the P-CPICH power. The
offset is specified by EPCHHSSCCHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910). A high value of this
parameter leads to power waste; a low value of this parameter decreases the HS-SCCH
demodulation success rate and paging success rate.

WCDMA RAN
6.1 Power Control on E-DPCCH

The transmit power on the E-DPCCH is calculated using a power offset reference to the uplink
DPCCH with the following formula:
PE-DPCCH = PUL DPCCH x A2ec
where
l
PUL DPCCH is the transmit power of the uplink DPCCH.
Aec is the quantized amplitude ratio of the E-DPCCH to the uplink DPCCH, which is set
to 15/15 for a 2 ms TTI and 9/15 for a 10 ms TTI.
If the UE is enabled with E-DPCCH Boosting, Aec is calculated by using a new method. For
details about the new method, see HSPA Evolution Feature Parameter Description.
6.2 Power Control on E-DPDCH

The transmit power on the E-DPDCH is calculated using a power offset reference to the uplink
DPCCH with the following formula:
PE-DPDCH = PUL DPCCH x A2ed
where
l
PUL DPCCH is the transmit power of the uplink DPCCH.
Aed is the power offset of the E-DPDCH reference to the uplink DPCCH. The UE computes
the power offset through power extrapolation formula or power interpolation formula.
Compared with extrapolation formula, the interpolation formula can satisfy higher
demodulation requirement for high speed services.
The interpolation formula will be used only when the following conditions are met:
PcSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910):
PC_CFG_ED_POWER_INTERPOLATION_SWITCH is set to 1.
The UE complies with 3GPP Release 7 or later releases.
The typical variables to support interpolation formula are configured.
If one of the previous conditions is not met, the extrapolation formula will be used.
NOTE
For detail information about power extrapolation formula and power interpolation formula, see
section 5.1.2.5B.2.3 Computation of gain factors in 3GPP TS 25.214 V9.4.0.
6.3 E-DCH Outer Loop Power Control

Outer loop power control on the E-DCH is used to adjust the transmit power on the E-DPDCH
and to keep the QoS of the E-DCH on the required level.
The QoS on the E-DCH is obtained after the RNC performs a macro diversity combination.
Since only the correct packets are sent to the RNC from the NodeB, the number of HARQ
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

33
WCDMA RAN
retransmissions is used as the measurement for the E-DCH QoS. Outer loop power control
periodically adjusts the SIRtarget, related to the service QoS for the E-DCH, in a similar way for
the DCH.
The control object of outer loop power control can be the number of retransmissions (NHR) or
the residual BLER (RBLER).
l
If the service is interactive/background/streaming/SRB, NHR is the control object of outer

loop power control.
If the service is PS conversational, RBLER is the control object of outer loop power control.
NOTE
The DCH outer loop power control algorithm described in section 4.4 Outer Loop Power Control and
E-DCH outer loop power control algorithm described in this section allow the uplink SIRtarget to quickly
increase but slowly decrease, which wastes uplink power and affects cell uplink capacity. To address this
problem, outer loop power control is enhanced. For details, see section 7.1.3 Outer Loop Power Control
Enhancement.
6.4 Power Control on E-AGCH, E-RGCH, and E-HICH

6.4.1 Overview
In the downlink, HSUPA has three additional control channels: E-AGCH, E-RGCH, and EHICH. The following power control methods are used:
l
6.4.3 Power Control Based on Downlink DPCH/F-DPCH
6.4.4 HSUPA E-AGCH Power Control (Based on CQI or HS-SCCH)
The power control methods can be configured on the NodeB for each channel through the
following parameters:
l
EAGCHPCMOD (E-AGCH power control mode)
NSEHICHPCMOD (non-serving E-HICH power control mode)
SEHICHPCMOD (serving E-HICH power control mode)

6.4.2 Power Control Based on Fixed Power

If the power control based on the fixed power is used, the transmit power on the E-AGCH, ERGCH, and E-HICH is calculated with the following formula:
PE-AGCH = PP-CPICH + POE-AGCH
PE-RGCH = PP-CPICH + POE-RGCH
PE-HICH = PP-CPICH + POE-HICH
where
l
PE-AGCH, PE-RGCH, and PE-HICH are the transmit power of the E-AGCH, E-RGCH, and EHICH, respectively.
PP-CPICH is the transmit power of the P-CPICH.
POE-AGCH, POE-RGCH, and POE-HICH are the power offsets of the E-AGCH, E-RGCH, and
E-HICH relative to the transmit power of the P-CPICH, respectively. These power offsets
are used to calculate the transmit power of E-AGCH, E-RGCH, and E-HICH, respectively
in different scenarios.
The power offset is configured on the NodeB through the following parameters.
l
EAGCHPower (E-AGCH power)
SERGCHPower (Serving E-RGCH power)
NSERGCHPower (Non-serving E-RGCH power)
SingleRLEHICHPower (Single RL E-HICH power)

NSEHICHPower (Non-serving E-HICH power)
6.4.3 Power Control Based on Downlink DPCH/F-DPCH

The demodulation conditions of HSUPA downlink control channels are similar to those of the
TPC or pilot field of the downlink DPCH/F-DPCH. Therefore, the power of HSUPA downlink
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

35
WCDMA RAN
control channels can be controlled based on the TPC or pilot field. The power based on TPC is
similar to the power control based on pilot. Therefore, only the power control based on TPC is
described in this section.
The HSUPA transmit power is calculated with the following formula:
P = PTPC + FUNC(PowOffset)
where
l
P is the transmit power of the E-AGCH, E-RGCH, or E-HICH.
PTPC is the transmit power of the TPC field on the DL DPCH or F-DPCH.
PowOffset is the power offset of the specific channel reference to the DPCCH TPC field.

SRLEHICHPWROFFSET (E- HICH of single RL)
SEHICHPWROFFSET (E- HICH of serving RLS)
NSEHICHPWROFFSET (E-HICH of non-serving RLS)

This section describes the feature WRFD-01061401 E-AGCH Power Control (Based on CQI or
HS-SCCH).
The HSUPA E-AGCH power control is based on the serving cell. The serving HSUPA cell must
be consistent with the serving HSDPA cell. Therefore, the HSDPA information can be used for
HSUPA E-AGCH power control.
The available HSDPA information of CQI and HS-SCCH is discontinuous. Therefore, the
HSUPA E-AGCH power control still depends on the power control based on the downlink
DPCH/F-DPCH. When the HSDPA information of CQI or HS-SCCH is available, the
information can be used to adjust the results of the power control. Otherwise, the power control
based on the DPCH/F-DPDCH is used directly on the E-AGCH.
The procedure of power control based on HSDPA is as follows:
1.
The NodeB obtains the power offset of the E-AGCH calculated by the power control based
on the downlink DPCH/F-DPCH.
2.
If the HS-SCCH is transmitting data and using dynamic power control, the NodeB updates
the E-AGCH power offset based on the HS-SCCH power.
3.
If the HS-SCCH is not available and the NodeB receives CQIs from the UE, the CQIs are
used to update the power offset of the E-AGCH.
4.
The NodeB calculates the E-AGCH power based on the updated power offset. The EAGCH power is limited by the maximum value of (P-CPICH power +
MAXAGCHPOWER) and the minimum value of (P-CPICH power +
MINAGCHPOWER). MAXAGCHPOWER and MINAGCHPOWER are set on the
NodeB.

7.1 DCH Power Control

7.1.1 DPCH Pilot Power Adjustment
This section describes the WRFD-150230 DPCH Pilot Power Adjustment feature, which
correlates with Power of Downlink DPCCH in section 4.2.2 Downlink Open Loop Power
Control on DPCH
Overview
Downlink DPCHs include downlink DPDCHs and the downlink DPCCH. As a part of the
DPCCH, the pilot field is used by UEs to estimate the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) during
the inner loop power control procedure and to determine whether radio links are synchronized.
When the cell load is light, the pilot field can be assigned higher transmit power and a longer
bit length to increase the SIR estimation accuracy and Uu-interface synchronization probability.
When a cell serves a large number of UEs, downlink R99 services consume a large amount of
downlink power. As a result, the remaining downlink power becomes insufficient to admit
potential UEs. In addition, the amount of downlink power available for HSDPA services
decreases, which reduces HSDPA throughput. To address this situation, the WRFD-150230
DPCH Pilot Power Adjustment feature is introduced. This feature saves DPCH power by
configuring a shorter bit length and a smaller power offset for the pilot field. The saved power
can be used to admit more UEs or to increase HSDPA throughput.
Technical Description
This feature is controlled by PC_PILOT_PO_OPTI_SWITCH under the PcSwitch
When downlink non-HSPA power load in a cell is the same as or heavier than the
LoadStateForPilotPwrAdj(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter value, this feature configures the
pilot-field bit length and power offset as follows during the initial access procedure:

Pilot-field bit length

37
WCDMA RAN
If real-time services (conversational services such as emergency calls, or streaming

services) are not established on the downlink DPCH, the bit length is determined by the
value of the DlDpchSf256OptiPilotBit(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter if the spreading
factor for the downlink DPCH is 256.
If real-time services are established on the downlink DPCH, the bit length is determined
by the value of the DlDpchSf256PilotBit(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter if the
spreading factor for the downlink DPCH is 256.
l
Pilot-field power offset

If real-time services are not established on the downlink DPCH, the pilot-field power
offset is determined by the value of the NonCsOptiPilotPo(BSC6900,BSC6910)
parameter.
If real-time services are established on the downlink DPCH, the pilot-field power offset
is determined by the value of the CsOptiPilotPo(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
When downlink non-HSPA power load in a cell is lighter than the LoadStateForPilotPwrAdj
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter value, the pilot-field bit length is determined by the value of
the DlDpchSf256PilotBit(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter (only for the DPCH whose spreading
factor is 256) and the pilot-field power offset is determined by the value of the PilotPO
NOTE
DPCH pilot-field power offset configuration during the initial access procedure occurs when the downlink
DPCH is established in any of the following scenarios:
l The UE initiates an RRC connection setup procedure in the cell that the UE accesses.
l The UE switches from the URA_PCH, CELL_PCH or CELL_FACH state to the CELL_DCH state.
l An incoming inter-cell hard handover occurs in the cell.
l The UE falls back from HSDPA channels to R99 channels.

7.1.2 DPCH Maximum Power Restriction

This section describes optimization algorithm for downlink DPCH transmit power, including
the WRFD-150235 DPCH Maximum Power Restriction feature and Load-based DPCH
Maximum Power Adjustment. This algorithm correlates with Initial Power of Downlink
DPDCH in section 4.2.2 Downlink Open Loop Power Control on DPCH.
Overview
If there are a large number of HSDPA users, the adjunctive DPCH (A-DPCH, used to transmit
signaling messages and control power) consumes a large amount of downlink power resource,
thereby significantly decreasing the available power on the HSDPA data channel. This affects
data transmission performed by HSDPA users. Therefore, effectively controlling the transmit
power on the downlink A-DPCH channel that transmits HSDPA data is necessary, which can

The WRFD-150235 DPCH Maximum Power Restriction feature and the Load-based DPCH
Maximum Power Adjustment function calculate the DPCH maximum transmit power
independently. If the feature and the function take effect simultaneously, the smaller value in
the calculation results is used as the DPCH maximum power.
The WRFD-150235 DPCH Maximum Power Restriction feature
This feature is controlled by the dpchMaxTxPwrRestrSw parameter on the NodeB side.
When downlink non-HSPA power load in a cell is heavier than the threshold corresponding to
dpchMaxPwrRtrLoadStat plus 10%:
l
If HSDPA user is not in compressed mode state, and the maximum downlink transmit power
for the A-DPCH is reduced to the result of RlMaxDlPwr(BSC6900,BSC6910) minus 10
dB if there are no signaling messages transmitted on the A-DPCH.
Otherwise, the maximum downlink transmit power for the A-DPCH is restored to the
RlMaxDlPwr(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter value.
After this feature is activated, if downlink non-HSPA power load in a cell is lighter than the
threshold corresponding to dpchMaxPwrRtrLoadStat minus 10%, this feature does not take
effect and the maximum downlink transmit power for the A-DPCH is restored to the
RlMaxDlPwr(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter value.
The Load-based DPCH Maximum Power Adjustment function
This function is controlled by the parameter of the ULOCELLRSVDPARA6 NodeB. When this
parameter is set to a value other than 0, this function is enabled.
Based on the current power load, the NodeB side dynamically determines the decrease range of
the DPCH maximum transmit power, thereby adjusting the DPCH maximum power. The DPCH
maximum transmit power of a user equals RlMaxDlPwr(BSC6900,BSC6910) minus
DeltaPower. The DeltaPower adjustment process is as follows:
l
When the current power load is greater than the value of ULOCELLRSVDPARA6,
DeltaPower increases by 1 dB, and its value is less than 10 dB.
When the current power load is less than or equal to the value of , DeltaPower
ULOCELLRSVDPARA6 decreases by 1 dB, and its value is no less than 0 dB.
NOTE
l It is recommended that ULOCELLRSVDPARA6 be set to 40, indicating that the load threshold is 80%.

7.1.3 Outer Loop Power Control Enhancement

This function involves outer loop power control and E-DCH outer loop power control, which
are described in sections 4.4 Outer Loop Power Control and 6.3 E-DCH Outer Loop Power
Control
Overview
Legacy outer loop power control algorithms based on the BLER/BER/RBLER/NHR allow the
SIRtarget to quickly increase but slowly decrease when the target BLER/BER/RBLER/NHR is
low. These algorithms ensure that the BLER/BER/RBLER/NHR converges to the target value.
When channel conditions deteriorate, there is burst interference, the UE transmit power is
insufficient, or cell capacity is limited, a large number of consecutive error blocks may occur,
and the SIRtarget and RTWP will increase abruptly. When channel conditions become
satisfactory, the UE transmit power becomes sufficient, or cell capacity is no longer limited, the
SIRtarget decreases slowly. As a result, the cell uplink power remains high for a long time, wasting
uplink power and reducing cell uplink capacity.
Outer loop power control is enhanced to allow a quick increase or decrease in the SIRtarget, for
example, when RB establishment or reconfiguration is complete, there is burst interference, or
UE transmit power is insufficient. In these scenarios, the enhanced feature reduces the uplink
power waste. When the RTWP increases abnormally due to limited cell capacity, the NodeB
adjusts the SIRtarget sent from the RNC to prevent a continuous RTWP increase caused by the
SIRtarget increase.
In scenarios where uplink power is wasted, outer loop power control enhancement adjusts the
SIRtarget differently from the legacy outer loop power control algorithms as follows:

RB establishment or

Burst interference
A large number of
consecutive error blocks
result in a sudden SIRtarget
increase. However, the
SIRtarget slowly decreases to
a proper value after the
interference is eliminated,
resulting in wasted uplink
power.
The enhanced feature

disables SIRtarget adjustment
in a specified time to prevent
sudden SIRtarget increases
caused by short-term burst

UE transmit power
insufficiency
A large number of
increase. However, the
SIRtarget slowly decreases to
a proper value after the UE

sufficient. Therefore, uplink
power is wasted when UE
transmit power becomes
sufficient.
The enhanced feature sets the

SIRtarget to the initial
SIRtarget (InitSirtarget
(BSC6900,BSC6910)) when
the UE transmit power
becomes insufficient, and
uses a larger step to decrease
the SIRtarget so that the
SIRtarget quickly decreases
when UE transmit power
becomes sufficient.
RTWP abnormal increase
A large number of
increase. Then, the RTWP
continuously increases,
affecting cell capacity.
The enhanced feature adjusts

the SIRtarget sent from the
RNC to the NodeB to prevent
a continuous RTWP increase
caused by the SIRtarget

In this scenario, the enhanced feature is controlled by

RBLER-based outer loop power control: The current SIRtarget is larger than the reference
SIRtarget (RefSIRtarget(BSC6900,BSC6910)) and the current RBLER is 0.
NHR-based outer loop power control: The current SIRtarget is larger than the reference
SIRtarget (RefSIRtarget(BSC6900,BSC6910)) and the current NHR is 0.
As shown in Figure 7-1, when RB establishment or reconfiguration is complete, the RNC sets
the SIRtarget to the initial SIRtarget (InitSirtarget(BSC6900,BSC6910)) and counter n to the value
of 0, and enables the SIRtarget quick decrease. In the next outer loop power control period, the
RNC determines whether a UE meets decision condition 1. If the UE meets decision condition
1, the RNC decreases the SIRtarget using the step specified by SIRtar(n), and adds 1 to counter
n until n reaches the maximum value N. N is the ratio of the maximum range of the SIRtarget
quick decrease to SIRtargetDownSpeed(BSC6900,BSC6910), which is calculated in the
following formula:
N = (InitSirtarget(BSC6900,BSC6910) RefSIRtarget(BSC6900,BSC6910))/
SIRtargetDownSpeed(BSC6900,BSC6910)
In each subsequent outer loop power control period, the RNC determines whether the UE meets
decision condition 1 and whether n is less than or equal to N repeatedly.
The SIRtarget quick decrease amount SIRtar(n) is calculated in the following formula:
SIRtar(n) = SIRtargetDownSpeed(BSC6900,BSC6910) x SirAdjustPeriod
(BSC6900,BSC6910)
NOTE
SirAdjustPeriod(BSC6900,BSC6910) specifies the outer loop power control period. This period is RABspecific. For details, see section 4.4 Outer Loop Power Control
The RNC exits the SIRtarget quick decrease mode to avoid the block error rate increase if the UE
does not meet decision condition 1 or n is larger than N in an outer loop power control period.
For example, the BLER/RBLER/NHR is larger than 0, or the current SIRtarget is equal to or
smaller than the reference SIRtarget (RefSIRtarget(BSC6900,BSC6910)). RefSIRtarget
(BSC6900,BSC6910) is the convergence value of the SIRtarget when RB establishment or
reconfiguration is complete. The maximum range of the SIRtarget quick decrease is equal to the
difference between InitSirtarget(BSC6900,BSC6910) and RefSIRtarget
(BSC6900,BSC6910). Therefore, the value of RefSIRtarget(BSC6900,BSC6910) must be equal
to or smaller than the value of InitSirtarget(BSC6900,BSC6910). Otherwise, the SIRtarget quick
decrease cannot be enabled.
After exiting the SIRtarget quick decrease, the RNC decreases the SIRtarget according to the
procedure defined in section 4.4 Outer Loop Power Control or section 6.3 E-DCH Outer
Loop Power Control.
After RB reconfiguration, if the SIR on the DPCCH drastically increases from a low level to a
high level, the NodeB still uses the low SIR when RB configuration has taken effect, because
PC_RL_RECFG_SIR_TARGET_CARRY_SWITCH under the PCSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter of the RNC is turned off by default. As a result, this feature
yields no uplink capacity gains. If uplink capacity gains are required in this scenario, it is
recommended that PC_RL_RECFG_SIR_TARGET_CARRY_SWITCH under the
PCSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter of the RNC be turned on by using the SET
UCORRMALGOSWITCH command and

parameter.
If there is burst interference, the block error rate of the UE is extremely high. The SIRtarget quickly
increases if the RNC uses a legacy outer loop power control algorithm. However, the SIRtarget
slowly decreases to a proper value after the interference is eliminated, wasting uplink power.
The enhanced feature disables SIRtarget adjustment in a specified time to prevent sudden
SIRtarget increases caused by short-term burst interference. Burst interference is indicated by
RTWP peaks.

In Figure 7-2, decision condition 2 specifies whether a UE is experiencing burst interference.

The RNC determines that a UE meets decision condition 2 if one of the following conditions is
met:
l

The BLER in an outer loop power control period is equal to or higher than the preset
threshold. The preset threshold is fixed at 50%.

RBLER-based outer loop power control: The RBLER in an outer loop power control
period is higher than or equal to the preset threshold. The preset threshold is fixed at

45
WCDMA RAN
NHR-based outer loop power control: The NHR in an outer loop power control period
is higher than or equal to the preset threshold Min{NHRtarget x 50, 4}.
The RNC determines that a UE is not experiencing burst interference if one of the following
conditions is met:
l

The BLER in an outer loop power control period is lower than the preset threshold.

RBLER-based outer loop power control: The RBLER in an outer loop power control
period is lower than the preset threshold.
NHR-based outer loop power control: The NHR in an outer loop power control period
is lower than the preset threshold Min{NHRtarget x 50, 4}.
Counter k reaches the maximum value K. The formula for calculating the value of K is as
follows: K = ceil{100 ms/SirAdjustPeriod(BSC6900,BSC6910)}.
As shown in Figure 7-2, after determining that a UE is experiencing burst interference in an

outer loop power control period, the RNC adjusts the SIRtarget using a legacy outer loop power
control algorithm in the current outer loop power control period, and initializes counter k to the
value of 0. Counter k records the number of outer loop power control periods in which the
SIRtarget cannot be adjusted. The maximum value of counter k is K. The formula for calculating
the value of K is as follows:
K = ceil{100 ms/SirAdjustPeriod(BSC6900,BSC6910)}
In each subsequent outer loop power control period, if the UE meets decision condition 2 and
counter k value does not reach the maximum, the RNC does not adjust the SIRtarget. If the UE
does not meet decision condition 2 or counter k reaches the maximum value K, the RNC
determines that the UE is not experiencing burst interference and adjusts the SIRtarget using a
legacy outer loop power control algorithm. In addition, the RNC initializes counter k to the value
of 0.
After determining that a UE is not experiencing burst interference, the RNC decreases the
SIRtarget according to the procedure defined in section 4.4 "Outer Loop Power Control" or section
6.3 E-DCH Outer Loop Power Control
UE Transmit Power Insufficiency

parameter.
The RNC sends the NodeB a DEDICATED MEASUREMENT INITIATION REQUEST
message containing the measurement object of the SIRerror. The SIRerror is equal to the actual
SIR minus the SIRtarget. The NodeB reports event F to the RNC.
Event F consists of event Fa and event Fb.
l
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)
If the SIRerror is lower than the threshold (3 dB) of event Fa for a period of time (80 ms),
event Fa is triggered.
46
WCDMA RAN
If the SIRerror is equal to or higher than the threshold (3 dB) of event Fb for a period of
time (80 ms), event Fb is triggered.
If the RNC receives the measurement report containing the event Fa from all the radio link sets
of a UE, the RNC determines that the link quality is poor and the UE transmit power is
insufficient. Then, the RNC sets the SIRtarget to the initial SIRtarget (InitSirtarget
(BSC6900,BSC6910)) and disables SIRtarget adjustment. In this way, the transmit power
insufficiency does not raise the SIRtarget excessively. After the UE transmit power becomes
sufficient, less uplink power is wasted.
If the RNC receives the measurement report containing the event Fb from any radio link set of
the UE, the RNC determines that the link quality resumes and the UE transmit power becomes
sufficient. Then, the RNC enables the SIRtarget quick decrease. For details, see "RB
Establishment or Reconfiguration" earlier in this section.
RTWP Abnormal Increase

In this scenario, the enhanced feature is controlled by RTWPSIRTGTADJSW.
When the RTWP increases abnormally due to limited cell capacity, the NodeB determines the
RTWP abnormal increase scenario according to the slight congestion threshold and severe
congestion threshold, and adjusts the SIRtarget from the RNC for DTX UEs and non-DTX UEs
separately. This decreases the RTWP or increases cell uplink capacity.
DTX UEs and non-DTX UEs are determined in the following way:
l
HSUPA UEs with no data transmission for more than 200 ms are regarded as DTX UEs.
When data transmission resumes, the HSUPA UEs are regarded as non-DTX UEs.
UEs over DCH are regarded as non-DTX UEs by default. Non-DTX UEs over HSUPA
channels are classified into high-rate non-DTX UEs and low-rate non-DTX UEs:
UEs in the initial service setup phase are regarded as low-rate UEs. If a UE is regarded
as a low-rate UE and the effective throughput of the UE is greater than or equal to 700
kbit/s, the rate of the UE will be increased so that the UE will become a high-rate UE.
If a UE is regarded as a high-rate UE and the effective throughput of the UE is less than
or equal to 160 kbit/s, the rate of the UE will be reduced and the UE will become a lowrate UE.
For details about DTX, see HSPA Evolution Feature Parameter Description.
Figure 7-3 shows the procedure for enhanced outer loop power control in the RTWP abnormal
increase scenario.
l
The NodeB determines the RTWP abnormal increase scenario according to the slight
congestion threshold and severe congestion threshold, adjusts the SIRtarget from the RNC,
and reports the UE congestion indication to the RNC.
The RNC adjusts the SIRtarget according to the UE congestion indication reported by the
NodeB. If the UE congestion indication is "Congested", the RNC keeps the maximum
SIRtarget unchanged in a specified time to prevent a continuous SIRtarget increase.

scenario
The following describes the procedure for enhanced outer loop power control in the RTWP
abnormal increase scenario.
1. The NodeB adjusts the SIRtarget received from the RNC for different types of UE. The
SIRtarget is adjusted as follows:
l
For a non-DTX UE
Non-DTX UE over DCH
SIRtarget = max{SIRtarget from the RNC + min{DCHDeltaSIRtargeti, i=1,...}, min
{SIRtarget from the RNC, 0 dB}}
Non-DTX UE over E-DCH and the UE is a low-rate UE
SIRtarget = max{SIRtarget from the RNC + min{EDCHnonDTXDeltaSIRtargeti, i=1,...},
min{SIRtarget from the RNC, 0 dB}}
Non-DTX UE over EDCH and the UE is a high-rate UE
SIRtarget = SIRtarget provided by the RNC
For a DTX UE over E-DCH

SIRtarget = max{SIRtarget from the RNC + min{EDCHnonDTXDeltaSIRtargeti, i=1,} +
min{EDCHDTXDeltaSIRtargeti, i=1,...}, min{SIRtarget from the RNC, 0 dB}}
NOTE
A UE has only one SIRtarget. When multiple radio links have been established on the UE, the radio link
with the smallest adjustment (DCHDeltaSIRtarget, EDCHnonDTXDeltaSIRtarget, or
EDCHDTXDeltaSIRtarget) is used for calculating the SIRtarget.The subscript "i" indicates the radio link
number in the radio link set.

is below the slight congestion threshold, the NodeB increases EDCHDTXDeltaSIRtarget
with the SIRtarget increase step.
If the dynamic RoT of the cell reaches the severe congestion threshold, the NodeB decreases
EDCHnonDTXDeltaSIRtarget and DCHDeltaSIRtarget with the SIRtarget decrease step. If
the dynamic RoT of the cell is below the severe congestion threshold, the NodeB increases
EDCHnonDTXDeltaSIRtarget with the SIRtarget increase step and sets DCHDeltaSIRtarget
to 0.

l For details about the dynamic target RoT, see HSUPA Feature Parameter Description.

l SIRtarget decrease step: equal to 0.3 dB by default for the DTX UE over E-DCH, non-DTX UE over EDCH, and non-DTX UE over DCH
l SIRtarget increase step: equal to 0.02 dB by default for the DTX UE over E-DCH, non-DTX UE over
E-DCH, and non-DTX UE over DCH
2. The NodeB sets the UE congestion indication.

The NodeB sets the UE congestion indication to "Congested" if the following conditions are
met:
l
For an HSUPA UE
SIRtarget adjustment for the non-DTX UE: min{EDCHnonDTXDeltaSIRtargeti, i=1,...}
0
SIRtarget adjustment for the non-DTX UE that is switched from a DTX UE: min{EDCH

If the non-DXT UE is a high-rate HSUPA UE, the NodeB sets the UE congestion indication to "Not
Congested."

WCDMA RAN
For an R99 UE
SIRtarget adjustment: min{DCHDeltaSIRtargeti, i=1,...} 0
NOTE
The subscript "i" indicates the radio link number in the radio link set.
3. The RNC sets the maximum SIRtarget according to the UE congestion indication reported by
the NodeB. The initial UE congestion indication is "Not Congested."
l
If the RNC receives a UE congestion indication set to "Congested", the RNC sets the UE
status to "Congested" and the maximum SIRtarget to min{current SIRtarget,
INITSIRTARGET(BSC6900,BSC6910)}. At the same time, the RNC starts a 50 ms timer
and keeps the maximum SIRtarget unchanged until the timer expires. If the RNC has not
received a potential UE congestion indication before the timer expires, it sets the UE status
to "Not Congested" and the maximum SIRtarget to MAXSIRTARGET
(BSC6900,BSC6910).
If the RNC does not receive the UE congestion indication, the maximum SIRtarget of the
UE is equal to MAXSIRTARGET(BSC6900,BSC6910).
Hardware Dependency
The dependencies of this feature on NodeB hardware are as follows:
l
The BTS3812E, BTS3812A, or BTS3812AE must be equipped with the EBBI, EBOI,
EULP+EDLP, or EULPd+EDLP boards. Downlink services must be established on the
EBBI, EBOI, or EDLP board. (The EDLP board processes HSPA services.)
The DBS3800 must be equipped with the EBBC or EBBCd board, and downlink services

7.2 HSUPA Power Control

7.2.1 Adaptive Configuration of Traffic Channel Power Offset for
HSUPA
This section describes the feature WRFD-010712 Adaptive Configuration of Traffic Channel
Power offset for HSUPA. This feature involves E-DCH outer loop power control, which is
described in section 6.3 E-DCH Outer Loop Power Control
Nowadays, HSPA and HSPA+ are a mainstream technology in the communication industry.
Uplink system performance needs to be enhanced to adapt to ever-increasing HSUPA peak rates.
The Adaptive Configuration of Traffic Channel Power offset for HSUPA feature increases the
HSUPA capacity of networks. This feature monitors changes in the uplink data rates of UEs and
uplink network load and adaptively configures optimal power control parameter settings for the
uplink data channels. This configuration helps reduce the uplink DPCCH transmit power of UEs
in the low-rate little retransmission state.
The offset of E-DPDCH power relative to DPCCH RX power is one of the major factors that
determine the DPCCH RX power. A UE in low-rate little retransmission state requires less
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

50
WCDMA RAN
DPCCH RX power than it does in high-rate little retransmission state. Figure 7-4 shows the
difference in DPCCH RX power for a UE in different data transmission states. In 7.2.1 Adaptive
Configuration of Traffic Channel Power Offset for HSUPA, DPCCH RX power adjustment
by inner loop power control is ignored and a constant power value is used instead. In practical
applications, the value of DPCCH RX power fluctuates.

This feature is activated when PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_ADAPTIVE_ADJ_SWITCH

under the PcSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is selected and the uplink load reaches
MaxTargetUlLoadFactor(BSC6900,BSC6910). When HSUPA UEs are in the little
retransmission state, this algorithm configures the optimal power offset for UEs based on the
changes of uplink load and throughput. In this way, the DPCCH RX power remains at the
optimum level and the HSUPA capacity in the related cell increases when multiple UEs access
the network. Figure 7-5 shows the DPCCH RX power for UEs in the small and large
retransmission states when this feature is enabled.
Figure 7-5 DPCCH RX power in the small and large retransmission states with this feature
When the feature HSUPA Adaptive Transmission is enabled for UEs, the UEs are in the large
retransmission state if the uplink cell load or UE transmit power is limited. Otherwise, the UEs

WCDMA RAN
are in the little retransmission state. For detailed decisions about whether uplink cell load or UE
transmit power is limited, see chapter "HSUPA Adaptive Retransmission" in HSUPA Feature
Parameter Description.
The little retransmission state can be classified into high-rate little retransmission state or lowrate little retransmission state according to the date rate.
When the average data rate of a UE is lower than the value of EdPOAdpAdjRateDnThd
(BSC6900,BSC6910), and the uplink load of the cell is larger than
MAXTARGETULLOADFACTOR(BSC6900,BSC6910) * TrigRatioforUlRTWP
(BSC6900,BSC6910), the UE is in the low-rate little retransmission state. For a UE in the lowrate little retransmission state, HarqPOLitRetrLRate(BSC6900,BSC6910) specifies the Hybrid
Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) power offset. A larger HARQ offset increases the EDPDCH power offset, decreases the DPCCH RX power of the UE, and reduces cell uplink power
load. The saved power can be used by other UEs to perform high-rate data transmission, thereby
increasing the HSUPA capacity in the cell.
When the average data rate of a UE is higher than the value of EdPOAdpAdjRateUpThd
(BSC6900,BSC6910), the UE is in high-rate little retransmission state. For a UE in the highrate little retransmission state, HarqPOLitRetrHRate(BSC6900,BSC6910) specifies the HARQ
offset. The DPCCH RX power can be adjusted by setting HarqPOLitRetrHRate
(BSC6900,BSC6910) to different values to ensure that the HSUPA performance does not
deteriorate.
For a UE in the large retransmission state, HarqPOLargeRetr(BSC6900,BSC6910) specifies
the HARQ offset. The HARQ offset can be set to a proper value to ensure a stable DPCCH RX
power.
NOTE
l If dynamic CE takes effect, the RNC configures the HARQ PO based on the real-time data rate of
services, which can be obtained by viewing uplink throughput. If DCCC takes effect, the RNC
configures the HARQ PO based on the current data rate of services. The current data rate is the upper
limit of data rate configured by the DCCC for services. The current data rate varies with data
transmission requirements and data rate changes. For details about DCCC, see DCCC Feature
Parameter Description.
l The HARQ PO is one of the variables for determining the power offset on the E-DPDCH relative to
the DPCCH.
Penalty Mechanism
When PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_ADAPTIVE_ADJ_SWITCH and
PC_HSUPA_HARQNUM_AUTO_ADJUST_SWITCH under the PcSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter are selected, an E-DPDCH power offset reconfiguration
procedure starts if the retransmission state of a UE changes.
PC_HSUPA_HARQNUM_AUTO_ADJUST_SWITCH under the PcSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter selected indicates that the HSUPA adaptive retransmission
algorithm is enabled. In the E-DPDCH power offset reconfiguration procedure, the Uu interface
signaling is reconfigured. This consumes radio resources and may affect key performance
indicators (KPIs) such as the call drop rate. Therefore, the frequency of retransmission state
adjustments needs to be controlled.
To control the frequency of retransmission state adjustments, a penalty timer
AdapRetranPunTimer(BSC6900,BSC6910) is configured at the RNC. This timer starts when
the number of target retransmissions for a UE is adjusted.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

52
WCDMA RAN
Before the timer expires, the RNC is not allowed to adjust the number of target retransmissions,
regardless of whether the NodeB sends retransmission state adjustment requests in this period.
After the timer expires, the RNC adjusts the number of target retransmissions according to the
NodeB's requests.
7.2.2 Initial Power Offset Selection for HSUPA Traffic Channels

This feature involves E-DCH outer loop power control, which is described in section 6.3 EDCH Outer Loop Power Control
In the Adaptive Configuration of Traffic Channel Power offset for HSUPA algorithm, the initial
HARQ power offset is set to the HarqPOLitRetrHRate(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter value
as in the high-rate little retransmission state. This algorithm takes more than 2s to adjust the
pilot-field power offset to the HarqPOLitRetrHRate(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter value.
However, in live networks, there are services with a low traffic volume and a data transmission
duration shorter than 2s. Therefore, this algorithm does not apply in scenarios with short data
transmission durations.
To address the preceding issue, the algorithm of initial power offset selection for HSUPA traffic
channels is introduced. With this algorithm, the RNC can directly set the initial HARQ power
offset to the HarqPOLitRetrLRate(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter value that is used for the
low-rate little retransmission state. This algorithm helps increase cell capacity.
PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_INIT_SEL_SWITCH under the PcSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter controls the algorithm for the initial power offset selection for
HSUPA traffic channel. After PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_INIT_SEL_SWITCH is
selected, HarqPOLitRetrLRate(BSC6900,BSC6910) is used as the initial power offset for lowrate data transmission during the RAB setup or UE state transition from other connected states
(CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, and URA_PCH) to CELL_DCH. When
PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_INIT_SEL_SWITCH is cleared and
PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_ADAPTIVE_ADJ_SWITCH is selected, the initial power
offset is set according to the adaptive configuration of traffic channel power offset for HSUPA.
For details, see section 7.2.1 Adaptive Configuration of Traffic Channel Power Offset for
HSUPA When PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_INIT_SEL_SWITCH OFF and
PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_ADAPTIVE_ADJ_SWITCH are set to OFF, the initial power
offset is set to 0.
When the algorithm is enabled for the initial power offset selection for HSUPA traffic channels,
configure a relatively high HARQ power offset by setting HarqPOLitRetrLRate
(BSC6900,BSC6910), to increase the E-DPDCH power offset. At a same data transmission rate,
this algorithm can reduce the DPCCH RX power and the load on uplink control channels. The
reduced load can be reused by other traffic channels, and consequently contribute to an expanded
HSUPA capacity. When the data transmission time is short and the data volume is small, the
HSUPA capacity increases more remarkable.
7.2.3 HSUPA Coverage Enhancement at UE Power Limitation

This section describes the feature WRFD-020138 HSUPA Coverage Enhancement at UE Power
Limitation. This feature involves power control on E-DPDCH, which is described in section 6.2
Power Control on E-DPDCH.
This feature improves the UE experience at the cell edge and expands the coverage at the HSUPA
cell edge for BE services and voice services. This feature reduces the call drop rate at the cell
edge and ensures service continuity.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

53
WCDMA RAN
When PC_HSUPA_COVER_EN_AT_POLIMIT_SWITCH under the PcSwitch

(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is selected, this feature is enabled.
When a UE detects that its transmit power is limited, the UE enters power scaling mode to ensure
that its total transmit power does not exceed the maximum. If uplink enhanced layer 2 is not
enabled, the UE transmit power will be limited when the uplink RLC-layer rate of the UE is
equal to the minimum RLC-layer rate. If uplink enhanced layer 2 is enabled, the UE transmit
power will be limited when the uplink MAC-layer rate of the UE is equal to the rate of the MAClayer minimum size transport block. For details about uplink enhanced layer 2, see HSPA
Evolution.
In HSUPA power scaling mode, the power offset of E-DPDCH relative to DPCCH is reduced
to the minimum value (BetaEdMin(BSC6900,BSC6910)). In this case, data transmission at the
cell edge may be interrupted because of limited transmit power. In enhanced power scaling mode,
the minimum value of the power offset of E-DPDCH relative to DPCCH is larger than that in
HSUPA power scaling mode. That is, the ratio of E-DPDCH power to the maximum transmit
power increases. This ensures a high E-DPDCH power and therefore expands the coverage of
HSUPA services.
For details, see section 5.1.2.6 Maximum and minimum power limits in 3GPP TS 25.214 V9.4.0.
7.2.4 HSUPA Power Control Enhancement

The HSUPA power control algorithm classifies UEs processing BE services into the following
types: high-rate non-DTX HSUPA UEs, low-rate non-DTX HSUPA UEs, and DTX HSUPA
UEs. For details about how to classify UEs into these types, see RTWP Abnormal Increase.
When RTWP abnormally increases, HSUPA Power Control Enhancement takes effect
independently in the following scenarios:
l
High-rate HSUPA data transmission performed by high-rate non-DTX HSUPA UEs

When non-DTX HSUPA UEs are performing high-rate data transmission (such as higher
than 2 Mbit/s) in the scenario with multipath effect (such as on the PB3 and VA30 channels),
the SIR estimations are far from accurate. As a result, the RTWP abnormally increases,
which causes interference to other UEs in the cell. After HSUPA Power Control
Enhancement is enabled, the SIR estimations are optimized to decrease the interference to
other UEs. In this way, the cell throughput increases.
NOTE
In this scenario, this function can be enabled or disabled by ULINNERPCABNRISECTRLSW. This

feature takes effect when uplink services are carried on the WBBPd, WBBPf, or UBBP board, and
downlink services are carried on the WBBPb, WBBPd, WBBPf, or UBBP board.
Low-rate HSUPA data transmission performed by low-rate non-DTX HSUPA UEs or DTX
HSUPA UEs
When DTX and non-DTX HSUPA UEs are performing low-rate data transmission (such
as lower than 200 kbit/s), the interference among UEs causes the RTWP to abnormally
increase. After HSUPA Power Control Enhancement is enabled, joint optimization on inner
loop and outer loop power control is performed to decrease the interference among UEs.
In this way, the cell throughput increases.

In this scenario, this function can be enabled or disabled by ULINNERPCABNRISECTRLSW and

RTWPSIRTGTADJSW. This feature takes effect when uplink services are carried on the WBBPf

abnormal RTWP increase.

7.3 FACH Power Control During RRC Phase

During the RRC connection setup procedure, coverage in the live network may be imbalanced
and UEs in weak coverage areas cannot correctly parse messages from the network. This leads
to RRC connection setup failures. To address this problem, the FACH power control of RRC
phase function is introduced to increase the downlink transmit power of the FACH so that UEs
can correctly parse messages.
When a UE attempts to access a cell, the RNC checks the cause value and the Ec/No value
contained in the RRC CONNETCTION REQUEST message. The RRC connection setup cause
is specified by the RrcCause(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter. The RNC then compares the Ec/
No value with the value for FACHPower4RRCRepEcNoThd(BSC6900,BSC6910)
corresponding to the RrcCause(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
If the value of Ec/No is smaller than the value for FACHPower4RRCRepEcNoThd
(BSC6900,BSC6910), the FACH power control of RRC phase function is triggered. This
function increases the FACH transmit power as follows:
l
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)
If the T381(BSC6900,BSC6910) timer expires, the RNC increases the downlink transmit
power of the FACH when retransmitting the RRC CONNECTION SETUP message to the
56
WCDMA RAN
UE. The number of times this message is retransmitted is determined by the N381
(BSC6900,BSC6910) timer.
l
If the T300(BSC6900,BSC6910) timer expires, after the UE retransmits the RRC

CONNETCTION REQUEST message, the RNC increases the downlink transmit power of
the FACH when transmitting the RRC CONNECTION SETUP message. The number of
times the RRC CONNETCTION REQUEST message is retransmitted is determined by the
N300(BSC6900,BSC6910) timer.
The FACH downlink transmit power is specified by the MaxFachPower

(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter. When the FACH downlink transmit power exceeds the OLC
threshold DlOlcTrigThd(BSC6900,BSC6910), the RNC does not adjust the FACH downlink
transmit power.
The FACH is a common channel. When the FACH power control of RRC phase function is
enabled, the FACH downlink transmit power for UEs with no power increase requirements is
the difference between the MaxFachPower(BSC6900,BSC6910) and OffsetFACHPower

Channel Power offset for HSUPA
System Capacity
This feature noticeably increases the HSUPA capacity of cells with a large number of HSUPA
UEs and low data rates.
During busy hours at sites with high UE density, a large number (for example, more than 10) of
HSUPA UEs may transmit data simultaneously. Uplink load is heavy, and the HSUPA capacity
of the cell may decrease.
This feature effectively increases HSUPA capacity for cells without raising the target load. After
this feature is activated during busy hours at sites with high UE density:
l
The average HSUPA throughput in the cell may increase.
The number of UEs that can transmit data simultaneously in the uplink may increase.
The RTWP may decrease.
Cell throughput increases by 5% to 20% when the RTWP remains unchanged.
Network Performance
l
The power consumption of DPCCHs is reduced for the UEs on which this feature has taken
effect.
More power can be allocated to the UEs on which this feature has taken effect.
Therefore, the access success rate of these UEs is raised and the uplink coverage of
these UEs at the cell edge is improved.
For the cells in which this feature has taken effect, the RTWP is reduced and the system
capacity for HSUPA services is increased.

of UEs when the reconfiguration procedure fails.

Power Limitation
System Capacity
No impact.
Network Performance
This feature improves coverage of BE and voice services over HSUPA channels at the cell edge.
Simulation test results show that the coverage can be increased by about 10%.

System Capacity
The Outer Loop Power Control feature allows SIRtarget quick adjustment in the following
scenarios: Service establishment or reconfiguration, burst interference, UE transmit power
insufficiency, and abnormal increase of RTWP. This helps increase the uplink traffic volume in
a cell, increases the number of UEs that transmit data in the uplink, or reduces the RTWP. The
gain can reach 5% to 20% when the number of UEs in the CELL_DCH state is greater than 20.
Network Performance
After this feature is introduced, more uplink power resources are saved. This reduces the RTWP
or increases the total uplink traffic volume in a cell when the number of UEs is the same.

System Capacity
When the downlink load in a cell is heavy, the WRFD-150230 DPCH Pilot Power Adjustment
feature reduces downlink DPCH power consumption by configuring a shorter bit length and
smaller power offset for the pilot field. Ultimately, this feature reduces the power requirements
of each UE in this cell. If HSDPA UEs are in the majority in this cell, the mean transmit power
of the downlink DPCH carrying HSDPA UEs is estimated to decrease by 5% to 20%. This
efficiency can admit 5% to 10% extra UEs if the non-HSPA load remains unchanged. However,
this capacity gain is affected by the proportion of UEs processing real-time services. The higher
this proportion, the less the gain that this feature provides.
Network Performance
Because the saved power can admit more UEs or increase the downlink throughput of a cell, the
WRFD-150230 DPCH Pilot Power Adjustment feature positively affects network performance
as follows:
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

62
WCDMA RAN
9 Network Impact
When the number of UEs in a cell remains unchanged and the traffic volume in this cell is
sufficient, more power will be saved to increase downlink cell throughput.
When potential UEs attempt to access a cell in the case of downlink power congestion, this
feature increases the access success rate during busy hours.
This feature also has a negative impact on network performance. If the power offset or bit length
of the pilot field is reduced, SIR estimations will become less accurate and Uu-interface
synchronization probability will decrease. This increases the call drop rate. Call drops become
more noticeable in lightly loaded cells.

System Capacity
When non-HSPA power consumption is high, the WRFD-150235 DPCH Maximum Power
Restriction feature saves downlink power resources by reducing the maximum transmit power
of the A-DPCH carrying HSDPA UEs. If the number of HSDPA UEs is large in a cell and
downlink non-HSPA power is high, this feature reduces downlink non-HSPA power by 5% to
15%. This efficiency can admit 5% to 15% extra UEs when non-HSPA power consumption in
this cell remains unchanged.
Network Performance
The WRFD-150235 DPCH Maximum Power Restriction feature positively affects network
performance as follows:
l
When the number of UEs in a cell remains unchanged and the traffic volume in this cell is
sufficient, more power will be saved to increase downlink cell throughput.
When potential UEs attempt to access a cell in the case of downlink power congestion, this
feature increases the access success rate during busy hours.
This feature also has a negative impact on network performance. If the maximum transmit power
of the A-DPCH is reduced, Uu-interface synchronization probability will also decrease, which
increases the call drop rate of HSDPA services. However, this feature causes call drops only on
cell-edge HSDPA UEs. If a large number of HSDPA UEs camp on the cell edge, this feature
saves more downlink power but unfortunately triggers more call drops for these HSDPA UEs.
9.6 FACH Power Control of RRC Phase

System Capacity
The FACH power control of RRC phase function increases the FACH transmit power. As a
result, the amount of power available for dedicated channels decreases. This reduces downlink
cell/UE throughput and the R99 UE admission rate.
Assume that the cell transmit power is 20 W, the P-CPICH transmit power is 10% of the cell
transmit power, and the FACH transmit power is 1 dB. In this example, if an additional 2 dB
power is allocated to the FACH, then the amount of power available for the dedicated channel
may be insufficient and five AMR UEs may fail to be admitted into this cell.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

63
WCDMA RAN
9 Network Impact
Network Performance
The FACH power control of RRC phase function increases the downlink FACH power and
enables UEs to receive messages more accurately. When RRC connection setups fail due to Uuinterface synchronization timeout, this function increases the RRC connection setup success
rate. The level of increase in the RRC connection setup success rate is determined by the coverage
and interference in the live network.
In situations where weak coverage is not the major cause for RRC connection setup failures or
where interference in the live network is strong, this function does not significantly increase the
RRC connection setup success rate.
l
The smaller the increase in the FACH power (MaxFachPower(BSC6900,BSC6910)) is,

the less noticeable the improvement of the RRC connection setup success rate.
The larger the increase in the FACH transmit power, the stronger the interference. In this
situation, downlink coverage will deteriorate, which may result in a higher call drop rate.

65
WCDMA RAN
NOTE
The RNC uses the Default Constant Value parameter to calculate the power offset on the uplink DPCCH
(DPCCH_Power_offset). Based on the calculation result, the UE calculates the initial transmit power on
the uplink DPCCH (DPCCH_Initial_Power).
The formula for calculating DPCCH_Power_offset is: DPCCH_Power_offset = Primary CPICH DL TX
power + UL interference + Default Constant Value. Where, DPCCH_Power_offset indicates the initial
transmit power offset on the DPCCH, Primary CPICH DL TX power indicates the downlink transmit power
on the P-CPICH, UL interference indicates the uplink interference, and Default Constant Value is the value
of Default Constant Value.
The formula for calculating DPCCH_Initial_Power is: DPCCH_Initial_Power = DPCCH_Power_offset CPICH_RSCP. Where, CPICH_RSCP indicates the received signal code power (RSCP) that the UE
measures on the P-CPICH. An excessively small value of DPCCH_Power_offset may lead to uplink
synchronization failures at the cell edge during initial link establishment, which affects uplink coverage.
An excessively large value of DPCCH_Power_offset may lead to instantaneous interference on uplink
signal reception, which affects the uplink receiving performance. For details, see section 8.5.3 Open loop
power control upon establishment of DPCCH in 3GPP TS 23.331 V9.4.0.

10.4 Outer Loop Power Control Enhancement

10.4.1 When to Use Outer Loop Power Control Enhancement
The enhanced feature applies to all UMTS networks. It is recommended that the enhanced feature
be used in scenarios where services are frequently established and service duration is short.
10.4.2 Deployment
For details about how to activate, verify, and deactivate this feature, see 10.3 WRFD-020503
Outer Loop Power Control.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

76
WCDMA RAN
Hardware Dependency
To validate the Outer Loop Power Control Enhancement feature in the case of abnormal RTWP
increase, the NodeB hardware must meet the following conditions:
l
The BTS3812E, BTS3812A, and BTS3812AE support this feature after EBBI, EBOI,
EULP and EDLP, or EULPd and EDLP boards are configured and downlink cells are
established on the EBBI, EBOI, or EDLP boards.
The DBS3800 supports this feature after EBBC or EBBCd boards are configured and
downlink cells are established on the EBBC or EBBCd boards.
3900 series base stations support this feature after WBBPb, WBBPd, or WBBPf boards are
configured, and downlink cells are configured on the WBBPb, WBBPd, or WBBPf boards.
10.4.3 Parameter Settings

Parameters related to the enhanced feature are described as follows:
l
SIRtargetDownSpeed(BSC6900,BSC6910) specifies the SIRtarget quick decrease step. The

default value is 10, indicating that the SIRtarget quick decrease step is 1 dB/s. A larger value
of SIRtargetDownSpeed(BSC6900,BSC6910) introduces higher amplitude of the
SIRtarget quick decrease, but may increase the block error rate. A smaller value of
SIRtargetDownSpeed(BSC6900,BSC6910) introduces lower amplitude of the SIRtarget
quick decrease, but increases only a limited amount of uplink capacity.
RefSIRtarget(BSC6900,BSC6910) is the convergence value of the SIRtarget when RB

establishment or reconfiguration is complete. RefSIRTarget(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set
according the service rate. The difference between InitSirtarget(BSC6900,BSC6910) and
RefSIRtarget(BSC6900,BSC6910) is the maximum range of the SIRtarget quick decrease.
Therefore, the value of RefSIRtarget(BSC6900,BSC6910) must be equal to or smaller than
the value of InitSirtarget(BSC6900,BSC6910). Otherwise, the SIRtarget quick decrease
cannot be enabled. A larger value of RefSIRTarget(BSC6900,BSC6910) introduces
smaller amplitude of the SIRtarget quick decrease, but increases only a limited amount of
uplink capacity. A smaller value of RefSIRTarget(BSC6900,BSC6910) introduces larger
amplitude of the SIRtarget quick decrease, but may increase the block error rate.
Table 10-9 provides recommended settings of RefSIRtarget(BSC6900,BSC6910) on the RNC

for R99 services.

After RB reconfiguration, if the SIR on the DPCCH drastically increases from a low level to a
high level, the NodeB still uses the low SIR when RB configuration has taken effect, because
PC_RL_RECFG_SIR_TARGET_CARRY_SWITCH under the PcSwitch parameter of the
RNC is turned off by default. As a result, this feature yields no uplink capacity gains. If uplink
capacity gains are required in this scenario, it is recommended that
PC_RL_RECFG_SIR_TARGET_CARRY_SWITCH under the PcSwitch parameter of the
RNC be turned on by using the SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH command and
PERFENH_RL_RECFG_SIR_CONSIDER_SWITCH under the
PerfEnhanceSwitchparameter of the RNC be turned on by using the SET UCORRMPAR
command.
10.4.4 Performance Monitoring

You can evaluate the gain of this feature by viewing counters related to the number of UEs in
the CELL_DCH state, number of HSUPA UEs, RTWP, and total uplink traffic volume in a cell
enabled with this feature.
l
VS.CellDCHUEs: Mean number of UEs in the CELL_DCH state in a measurement period
VS.HSUPA.UE.Mean.Cell: Mean number of HSUPA UEs in a measurement period
VS.MeanRTWP: Mean Power of Totally Received Bandwidth for Cell
Total uplink traffic volume in a cell can be calculated using the following formula:
?Total uplink traffic volume in a cell = (VS.PS.Int.UL.8.Traffic+ VS.PS.Int.UL.16.Traffic
+ VS.PS.Int.UL.32.Traffic + VS.PS.Int.UL.64.Traffic + VS.PS.Int.UL.128.Traffic +
VS.PS.Int.UL.144.Traffic + VS.PS.Int.UL.256.Traffic + VS.PS.Int.UL.384.Traffic +
VS.PS.Bkg.UL.8.Traffic + VS.PS.Bkg.UL.16.Traffic + VS.PS.Bkg.UL.32.Traffic +
VS.PS.Bkg.UL.64.Traffic + VS.PS.Bkg.UL.128.Traffic + VS.PS.Bkg.UL.144.Traffic +
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

WCDMA RAN
VS.PS.Bkg.UL.256.Traffic + VS.PS.Bkg.UL.384.Traffic)/8 +
VS.HSUPA.MeanChThroughput.TotalBytes
After this feature is enabled, the average RTWP in a cell is expected to decrease or the total
uplink traffic volume in a cell is expected to increase.
You can also observe the impact of this feature by viewing the measurement unit SIR Target
Measurement for Different Services. In cells where this feature takes effect, the rate of the
duration with the largest value of SIR Target Measurement for Different Services in the total
duration of outer loop power control is expected to decrease. This indicates that UE transmit
power has been reduced. The measurement unit SIR Target Measurement for Different Services
includes the following counters:

This feature can be batch activated using the CME. For detailed operations, see the following
section in the CME product documentation or online help: Managing the CME > CME
Guidelines > Enhanced Feature Management > Feature Operation and Maintenance.
Method 1:
NOTE
In dynamic CE scenarios, the service rate assigned by the core network (CN) is 2048 kbit/s, and the RNC
configures the Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) power offset (PO) based on the realtime service
rate.
The HARQ PO is one of the variables that determine the power offset on the E-DPDCH compared with
the DPCCH.
Step 1 Run the RNC MML command LST UTYPRABHSUPAPC to verify that HARQ POs
configured for different types of typical services are different. If HARQ POs configured for two
types of typical services are the same, run the RNC MML command MOD
UTYPRABHSUPAPC to modify these HARQ POs. Figure 10-5 shows the PO parameter
settings of an interactive BE service with the CN-assigned rate of 2048 kbit/s. Among these

111
WCDMA RAN
NOTE
In multi-user scenarios where the target load is limited and the real-time rate of a single user is lower than
a low-rate threshold (such as 60 kbit/s), the user is in the low-rate little retransmission state. The HARQ
PO is the value of HARQ PO for small Retrans at Low Speed.
If the real-time rate of a single user is higher than a high-rate threshold (such as 120 kbit/s), the user is in
the high-rate little retransmission state. The HARQ PO is the value of HARQ PO for small Retrans at
High Speed.
Step 3 Check the real-time rate of the new BE service and the CN-assigned rate by referring to
Monitoring UL Throughput and Bandwidth, as shown in Figure 10-6.

Interface. The value of the HARQ PO in the RRC_RB_SETUP message shows that the
user is in the high-rate little retransmission state when accessing the network. The HARQ
PO is equal to the value of HARQ PO for small Retrans at High Speed, as shown in

Simulate a situation that the uplink load is limited by changing the target uplink load to
10%. Run the RNC MML command MOD UCELLHSUPA. In this step, set Maximum
Target Uplink Load Factor to 10. After the uplink load is limited, check the uplink
throughput and bandwidth by referring to Monitoring UL Throughput and
Bandwidth. HARQ PO reconfiguration is triggered when the uplink throughput of the UE
is lower than the low-rate threshold. Check the value of HARQ PO in the
RRC_RB_RECFG message by referring to Tracing Messages on the Uu Interface. The
HARQ PO changes from HARQ PO for small Retrans at High Speed to HARQ PO for
small Retrans at Low Speed, as shown in Figure 10-8 .

7200 kbit/s in the cell. There is a possibility that the UE switches from little retransmission
state to large retransmission state if the cell load increases to a certain value. Check the
value of HARQ PO in the RRC_RB_RECFG message by referring to Tracing Messages
on the Uu Interface. The HARQ PO changes from HARQ PO for Small Retrans at Low
Speed to HARQ PO for Large Retransmission, as shown in Figure 10-9.

10.11.1 When to Use HSUPA Coverage Enhancement at UE Power

Limitation
Use this feature if the transmit power of HSUPA UEs in a cell becomes insufficient due to any
of the following reasons:
l
There is deep fading in the cell.
The coverage at the cell edge is poor and no cells can serve as target cells for soft handovers
of the UEs.
In these circumstances, this feature can improve the uplink coverage of HSUPA UEs at the cell
edge.

Before activating this feature, collect the following information to evaluate the UEs and coverage
in the live network and determine whether this feature is required.
l
Proportion of UEs that support this feature

The proportion of UEs that support this feature is calculated by the following formula.
Proportion of UEs that support this feature =
VS.HSUPA.RAB.NormRel.SRBoE.AboveR8/VS.RAB.NormRel.PS
Proportion of Power-Limited HSUPA Users in a Cell

It can be monitored by the counter of VS.HSUPA.MaxPwrLmtUserRatio.
If the Proportion of UEs on which this feature takes effect in a cell is greater than 50%, the

10.12.1 When to Use DPCH Pilot Power Adjustment

This feature is used in areas with high non-HSDPA transmit power and a small number of UEs
processing conversational services (including emergency calls) or streaming services, such as
hot spots in cities.

Before activating this feature, collect the following information to evaluate whether this feature
is suitable for the live network.
l
Values of the VS.MaxTCP.NonHS and VS.MeanTCP.NonHS counter and the

MAXTXPOWER(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter
You can estimate the non-HSPA transmit power in a cell using the following formulas:
Proportion of maximum non-HSPA transmit power in the total cell transmit power =
1210(Vs.MaxTCP.NonHS -MAXTXPOWER10)/10'>
Proportion of non-HSPA transmit power in the total cell transmit power 1210
(Vs.MeanTCP.NonHS -MAXTXPOWER10)/10'>
..
Non-HSPPA transmit power in a cell is high if the value calculated by the first formula
is greater than 60% and the value calculated by the second formula is greater than 40%.
l
Value of the VS.CellDCHUEs counter and the number of UEs processing real-time services
The proportion of UEs processing real-time services can be estimated based on the value
of (Number of UEs processing real-time services/VS.CellDCHUEs).
If the result is smaller than 20%, the proportion of UEs processing real-time services is
small. When the proportion of UEs processing real-time services is small, the gain of this
feature is significant. UEs processing real-time services are those that process CS or
streaming services. Real-time services include AMR voice services and PS conversational
services. The following is the formula for calculating the number of UEs processing realtime services:
Number of UEs processing real-time services = VS.RB.AMR.DL.12.2 + VS.RB.AMR.DL.
10.2 + VS.RB.AMR.DL.7.95 + VS.RB.AMR.DL.7.4 + VS.RB.AMR.DL.6.7 +

Collect the average downlink non-HSPA transmit power in a cell and the number of UEs in the
CELL_DCH state. Then calculate the non-HSPA transmit power of each UE in a cell.
After this feature is activated, the non-HSPA transmit power of each UE in a cell is reduced.
This feature increases the call drop rate in cells. You can monitor call drop rate-related counters
to observe the impact of this feature. Call drop rate-related counters include the CS call drop
rate and PS service drop rate. Table 10-30 provides counters and KPIs to monitor and how to
calculate the mean transmit power of each non-HSPA UE in the cell.

Counters and KPIs
Description
VS.DL.DPCH.OptiPilotPOAttNum
The two counters measure whether this feature takes effect

and they are added due to the introduction of this feature.
The value of the VS.DL.DPCH.OptiPilotPOAttNum
counter indicates the number of attempts to configure pilotfiled power offset according to the value of the
CsOptiPilotPo(BSC6900,BSC6910) or NonCsOptiPilotPo
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter. If the value of this counter
is not 0, this feature takes effect.
VS.DL.DPCH.NormalPilotPOAttNum
The activation rate of this feature can be evaluated based

on:
VS.DL.DPCH.OptiPilotPOAttNum/(VS.DL.DPCH.OptiPilotPOAttNum + VS.DL.DPCH.NormalPilotPOAttNum)
RRC Setup Success Ratio
CS RAB Setup Success Ratio
These KPIs measure the impact of this feature on the cell

access success rate.
PS RAB Setup Success Ratio
Downlink power resource congestion in a cell may lead to

UE admission failures. The activation of this feature
alleviates downlink power resource congestion in a cell and
increases the cell access success rate. Monitor the three
KPIs to determine whether the cell access success rate
increases. After this feature is activated, the cell access
success rate increases.
Mean Throughput for One

HSDPA Cell
These KPIs measure the impact of this feature on service

integrity.
When the number of UEs in a cell remains unchanged, the
saved downlink power can increase cell HSDPA throughput
if the traffic volume in this cell is sufficient. Monitor the
Mean Throughput for One HSDPA Cell KPI to determine
cell HSDPA throughput. After this feature is activated, cell
HSDPA throughput increases.
The gains provided by this feature may vary according to the fluctuations of one sample. In this
case, you can use the preceding counters to draw a graph that shows the distribution of the mean
non-HSDPA downlink transmit power relative to different CELL_DCH UE numbers, as shown
in Figure 10-13.
The blue line and the red line indicate the distributions without and with this feature, respectively.
The difference between the two lines is the gain provided by this feature.

If this feature does not provide noticeable gains, you can set the LoadStateForPilotPwrAdj
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter to a value with lighter load so that this feature can be more
easily triggered, for example, DL_NORMAL_STATE.
If the call drop rate increase noticeably after this feature is activated, for example, 50%, you can
set the LoadStateForPilotPwrAdj(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter to a value with heavier load
so that this feature is more difficult to trigger, for example, DL_HEAVY_STATE or set
DlDpchSf256OptiPilotBit(BSC6900,BSC6910) to 4.
Check the gains and the call drop rate each time after you optimize the preceding parameters to
determine whether the gains and the call drop rate reach the expected level.
None

10.13.1 When to Use DPCH Maximum Power Restriction
This feature is used in cells with a large number of HSDPA UEs (more than 10) and high
downlink non-HSPA power consumption (higher than 50%), such as hot spots in cities.
Issue 01 (2014-04-30)

131
WCDMA RAN
When this feature is enabled at the cell edge with a large number of HSDPA UEs, more downlink
non-HSPA power will be saved but the call drop rate of HSDPA UEs will increase. You can
determine whether to enable this feature based on site conditions.

Before activating this feature, collect the following information to evaluate whether this feature
is suitable for the live network.
l
Average number of HSDPA UEs in a cell

The average number of HSDPA UEs in a cell is indicated by the RNC counter
VS.HSDPA.UE.Mean.Cell. The gain provided by this feature is noticeable only when there
is a large number of HSDPA UEs in this cell.
Non-HSPA power consumption in a cell

Non-HSPA power consumption in a cell is indicated by the RNC counter
VS.MeanTCP.NonHS. This feature reduces the maximum transmit power of the A-DPCH
only when the downlink non-HSPA power consumption in the cell is high. Non-HSPA
power consumption can be estimated based on the linear value of (VS.MeanTCP.NonHS
MaxTxPower(BSC6900,BSC6910)/10).
If the proportion is high, downlink Non-HSPA power consumption in this cell is high.
Number of HSDPA UEs at the cell edge

You can evaluate the number of HSDPA UEs at the cell edge by viewing the distribution
of CQI, RSCP, TP, and throughput.
CQI distribution is indicated by NodeB counters VS.CQI.0 through VS.CQI.35.
RSCP distribution is indicated by the RNC counter VS.RRC.MrRpt.SHO.RSCP.
TP distribution is indicated RNC counters VS.TP.UE.0, VS.TP.UE.1, VS.TP.UE.2,
VS.TP.UE.3, VS.TP.UE.4, VS.TP.UE.5, VS.TP.UE.6.9, VS.TP.UE.16.25, VS.TP.UE.
26.35, VS.TP.UE.36.55, VS.TP.UE.More55, and VS.TP.UE.10.15.
Throughput distribution is indicated by the RNC counter
VS.HSDPA.MeanChThroughput.

Item
Description
VS.HSDPA.DpchMa
xPwrRestr.ActRatio
Validity probability of
this feature in a cell
This feature reduces the maximum transmit

power of the A-DPCH carrying HSDPA
UEs. Monitor the NodeB counter
VS.HSDPA.DpchMaxPwrRestr.ActRatio
to calculate the validity probability of this
feature. The formula is as follows:
Validity probability of this feature =
Duration of the reduced maximum ADPCH transmit power of HSDPA UEs/
Online duration of these HSDPA UEs
If the value of this counter is larger than 0,
this feature is activated.
VS.MeanTCP.NonH
S
Cell downlink nonHSPA power
This feature reduces downlink non-HSPA

power consumption if the UE number and
traffic volume in a cell remain unchanged.
Monitor the RNC counter
VS.MeanTCP.NonHS to observe the
downlink non-HSPA power consumption
in this cell. After this feature is activated,
the downlink non-HSPA power
consumption in this cell decreases.
VS.CellDCHUEs
Number of UEs access

a cell
This feature saves downlink power. If

potential UEs attempt to access a cell, the
saved power can admit more UEs if the
traffic volume in this cell remains
unchanged. Monitor the VS.CellDCHUEs
counter to observer whether the number of
UEs camping on this cell increases. After
this feature is activated, the number UEs
access this cell increases.
RRC Setup Success

Ratio
Cell access success

rate
Downlink power resource congestion in a

cell may lead to cell access failures. The
activation of this feature alleviates
downlink power resource congestion in a
cell and increases the cell access success
rate. Monitor the three KPIs to determine
whether the cell access success rate
increases. After this feature is activated, the
cell access success rate increases.

VS.HSDPA.MeanChThroughput
Cell HSDPA
throughput and singleUE HSDPA
throughput
When the number of UEs in a cell remains

unchanged, the saved downlink power can
increase cell HSDPA throughput and
single-UE HSDPA throughput if the traffic
volume in this cell is sufficient. Monitor
Mean Throughput for One HSDPA Cell to
determine cell HSDPA throughput and
monitor the VS.HSDPA.MeanChThroughput counter to determine single-UE HSDPA
throughput. After this feature is activated,
cell HSDPA throughput and single-UE
HSDPA throughput increase.
HSDPA Call Drop

Ratio
Call drop rate of

HSDPA services
This feature reduces the maximum transmit

power of the A-DPCH, which may reduce
Uu-interface synchronization probability
and increase the call drop rate of HSDPA
services. Monitor HSDPA Call Drop Ratio
to observe whether the call drop rate of
HSDPA services increases. After this
feature is activated, the call drop rate of
HSDPA services may increase.

After this feature is activated, if the impact of this feature on HSDPA service drop rates and on
non-HSPA power consumption is not noticeable, you can set the dpchMaxPwrRtrLoadStat
parameter to a value with lighter load (such as DlNormalState) so that this feature can be more
easily triggered. This helps save the downlink power and the saved power can admit more UEs
or increase cell HSDPA throughput.
If HSDPA service drop rates increase noticeably, you can set the dpchMaxPwrRtrLoadStat
parameter to a value with heavier load (such as DlHeavyState) so that this feature is more
difficult to trigger. This helps prevent noticeable impact of this feature on network KPIs.
If the downlink HSDPA throughput needs to be further improved after this feature is enabled,
you can enable the Load-based DPCH Maximum Power Adjustment function by setting the
ULOCELLRSVDPARA6 parameter to 40. In this way, more downlink power can be saved for
increasing the downlink HSDPA throughput for cells. However, this function may decrease the
downlink R99 throughput for cells, including the average rates of downlink PS R99 background
services and average rates of downlink PS R99 interactive services,and increase the PS call drop
rate.

10.14 FACH Power Control of RRC Phase

10.14.1 When to Use FACH Power Control of RRC Phase
The FACH Power Control of RRC Phase Function feature can be deployed when cells and the
RRC connection setup cause in the live network meet the requirements in section 10.14.2
Required Information.

l
RRC connection setup causes for enabling this function:
1.
Analyze the VS.RRC.FailConnEstab.NoReply counter in the live network. The RRC

connection setup cause that has the largest contribution to RRC connection setup failures
is the RRC connection setup cause for enabling this function.
2.
Identify the RRC connection setup cause for which the RRC connection setup success rate
needs to be improved in the live network.
Target cells for enabling this function:
1.
Identify cells that meet the following conditions:

Most RRC connection setup failures are due to the cause indicated by the
VS.RRC.FailConnEstab.NoReply counter. That is, most RRC connection setup failures are
caused by RRC connection setup timeout.
2.
Select cells where downlink weak coverage has a significant contribution to RRC
connection setup failures. For example, the contribution is larger than 50%. Collect the
RRC setup success rate corresponding to the RRC connection setup cause. Examine the
effect of this feature on the RRC setup success rate.
3.
Select cells where RRC and RAB establishment failures are caused by downlink power
resource congestion. Enable this function for these cells with caution. If the number of RRC
and RAB establishment failures caused by downlink power resource congestion is large,
you are not advised to enable this function.
You can monitor the following counters to determine the number of RRC connection setup
and RAB setup failures caused by downlink power resource congestion:
l VS.RRC.Rej.DLPower.Cong
l VS.RAB.FailEstabPS.DLPower.Cong
l VS.RAB.FailEstabCS.DLPower.Cong
Determine whether there are signaling storms and traffic bursts during large public gatherings
or festivals in the live network. If yes, you are not advised to enable this function.

Perform the following steps to monitor the performance of this function:
Step 1 Query the RRC connection setup success rate corresponding to the RRC connection setup cause.
Check whether the RRC connection setup success rate increases after this function is enabled.
Use the following formula to calculate the RRC connection setup success rate:
RRC connection setup success rate = (Number of successful RRC connection setups/RRC
connection setup requests) * 100%
If the RRC connection setup success rate decreases after the enabling of this function, downlink
power resources in a cell may be congested. In this situation, roll back the settings of the
MaxFACHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910) and OffsetFACHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910)

Check whether the values of the VS.RRC.Rej.DLPower.Cong and
VS.RAB.FailEstabPS.DLPower.Cong counters increase after the enabling of this function. If
downlink power resources are congested in a cell, roll back the settings of the MaxFACHPower
(BSC6900,BSC6910) and OffsetFACHPower(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameters to disable this
function for the cell.
Step 3 Query the RAB connection setup success rate.
If the RAB connection setup success rate corresponding to the RRC connection setup cause
decreases, collect the Ec/No distribution of the RACH for services that experience RAB
connection setup failures during the RRC connection setup procedure. Then compare the Ec/No
distribution with the value of the FACHPower4RRCRepEcNoThd(BSC6900,BSC6910)

WCDMA RAN
parameter. Calculate the number of times the Ec/No of the RACH is smaller than the value of
this parameter. Compare the calculated result with the increased successful RRC connection
setups. If the two numbers are almost the same, the performance of this function is as expected.
The reason for comparing the two numbers is that although RRC connection setups for UEs in
weak coverage areas may succeed, RAB connection setups may still fail.
Step 4 Query the call drop rate in the live network.
----End
The call drop rate is calculated as follows:
CS service drop ratio (cell) =
[VS.RAB.AbnormRel.CS/(VS.RAB.AbnormRel.CS + VS.RAB.NormRel.CS)]*100%
PS call drop ratio (cell) =
[VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS/(VS.RAB.AbnormRel.PS + VS.RAB.NormRel.PS)]*100%
If the call drop rate deteriorates, you can adjust the power increase for the MaxFACHPower
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter to reduce the maximum FACH transmit power.

For parameter optimization of this function, see section 10.14.5 Performance Monitoring.

Restricti
on
Meaning: Load state when the DPCH maximum power

restriction algorithm takes effect. When the downlink
non-HSPA power load is in the load state set by this
parameter or a heavier load state, the maximum DPCH
power restriction algorithm is triggered. Based on load
level in ascending order (from light load to heavy load),
the downlink non-HSPA power load states are as
follows: DlLightState: indicates the downlink resource
light load state threshold 0. DlNormalState: indicates
the downlink resource normal load state threshold 30%.
DlLoadedState: indicates the downlink resource light
congestion state threshold 50%. DlHeavyState:
indicates the downlink resource severe congestion state
threshold 70%. DlOverloadState: indicates the
downlink resource extreme congestion state threshold
90%. The following provides the method for
determining the downlink non-HSPA power load state:
If the non-HSPA power load for a cell exceeds the
threshold corresponding to the load state when the
DPCH maximum power restriction algorithm takes
effect plus 10%, the NodeB determines that the
downlink non-HSPA power load for the cell is in the
load state set when this algorithm takes effect or a
heavier load state. In this case, the DPCH maximum
power restriction algorithm is triggered. Note that 10%
is not added when the downlink non-HSPA power load
is in the downlink resource extreme congestion state. If
the non-HSPA power load for a cell decreases below the
threshold corresponding to the load state when the
DPCH maximum power restriction algorithm takes
effect minus 10%, the NodeB determines that the
downlink non-HSPA power load for the cell is in the
load state set when this algorithm takes effect or a lighter
load state. In this case, the DPCH maximum power
restriction algorithm is not triggered. Note that 10% is
not subtracted when the downlink non-HSPA power
load is in the downlink resource light load state.

the DPCCH_Power_Offset which is further used by the
UE to calculate the UL DPCCH_Initial_Power. The
formulas are as follows: DPCCH_Power_Offset =
Primary CPICH DL TX power + UL interference +
Default Constant Value Here, DPCCH_Power_Offset
is the DPCCH initial transmit (TX) power offset,
Primary CPICH DL TX power is the downlink TX
power of the P-CPICH. DPCCH_Initial_Power =
DPCCH_Power_offset - CPICH_RSCP Here,
CPICH_RSCP is the received signal code power of the
P-CPICH measured by the UE. A small value of
DPCCH_Power_Offset might lead to uplink
synchronization failure at cell edges during link setup,
thus affecting the uplink coverage. A large value of

Meaning: Step for adjusting the target SIR on the DCH

in the optimized outer loop power control algorithm.
The setting of the "BLERquality" parameter is
associated with this parameter. Assume that this
parameter is changed from BLERQualityTarget1 to
BLERQualityTarget2 and "SirAdjustStep" is changed
from SirAdjustStep1 to SirAdjustStep2. Then, these
values should fulfill the following condition: (1 BLERQualityTarget1) x SirAdjustStep1/
BLERQualityTarget1 = (1 - BLERQualityTarget2) x
SirAdjustStep2/BLERQualityTarget2. This parameter
is an advanced parameter. To modify this parameter,

PERFENH_CELL_HSUPA_CAP_CHANGE_OPT_S
WITCH: The NodeB baseband board uses different
processing specifications for users with different uplink
bearer services, for example, HSUPA TTI 2 ms
services, HSUPA TTI 10 ms services, and R99 services.
When serving a large number of users, the system
cannot guarantee that all users can access the network
with the highest service bearer supported by UEs. This
switch controls whether the RNC allocates
corresponding channels for new users based on the cell
capability reported through the NodeB private interface.
When this switch is turned on, the RNC dynamically
selects an appropriate uplink service bearer and
allocates corresponding channels for new users to
maximize the system capacity based on the actual
NodeB processing specifications. When this switch is
turned off, the optimization process is disabled. 18.
PERFENH_HSUPA_TTI_RECFG_PROC_OPT_SWI
TCH: Whether to use the optimized TTI switching
algorithm for BE services When this switch is turned
off, the optimized algorithm does not take effect. The
original mechanism is implemented. When this switch
is turned on, the optimized algorithm takes effect. After
HSUPA services are configured or reconfigured with 10
ms TTI due to network resource (admission CEs,
RTWP, consumed Iub bandwidth, or consumed CEs)
congestion or insufficient coverage, these UEs cannot
change to use 2 ms TTI if no data needs to be
transmitted. 19.
PERFENH_DOWNLOAD_ENHANCE_SWITCH:
Whether to activate the algorithm for increasing the
single-threaded download rate. 20.
PERFENH_OLPC_BLER_COEF_ADJUST: Switch
for adjusting the BLER coefficient specific to CS
services based on the best cell's uplink load status. When
this switch is turned on, the outer loop power control
algorithm uses the target BLER set by the OMU board
if the best cell's uplink load status is LDR or OLC. If the
status is neither LDR nor OLC, this algorithm uses this
target BLER after being divided by five. 21.
PERFENH_EMG_AGPS_MC_DELAY_SWITCH:
Whether to enable the function of delaying the sending
of an RRC_MEAS_CTRL message containing AGPS
information when an emergency call is made. When this

are for UEs having only one RLS. The two parameters
can be set by running the "SET UHSDPCCH" and
"ADD UCELLHSDPCCH" commands. When this
switch is turned off, the UE does not use the values of
the two parameters that are for UEs having only one
RLS. When this switch is turned on, the UE uses the
values of the two parameters that are for UEs having
only one RLS. 23.
PERFENH_RELOC_IE_CALCTIMEFORCIP_SWIT
CH: Whether to enable a RELOCATION REQUIRED
message to contain the IE calculationTimeForCiphering. When this switch is turned on, static relocation
request messages contain the IE calculationTimeForCiphering. 24.

Whether to trigger the DRD procedure and channel
switchover from E-DCH or HS-DSCH to DCH when
messages transmitted over the Uu and Iub interfaces do
not arrive in time. When this switch is turned off, the
DRD procedure and channel switchover from E-DCH
or HS-DSCH to DCH are not triggered if messages
transmitted over the Uu and Iub interfaces do not arrive
in time. When this switch is turned on, the DRD
procedure and channel switchover from E-DCH or HSDSCH to DCH are triggered if messages transmitted
over the Uu and Iub interfaces do not arrive in time. 25.
PERFENH_CELL_CACLOAD_BROADCAST_AM
END: Whether to consider CE or code resource usage
when determining the resource status of a cell whose
serving boards or CP sub-systems are different from
those of its neighboring cells. When this switch is turned
on, the RNC determines the resource status of such a
cell based on power, CE, and code resource usage. If
power, CE, or code resources in a cell become
congested, the RNC determines that the cell experiences
resource congestion. When this switch is turned off, the
RNC determines the resource status of such a cell based
on power resource usage only. 26.

PERFENH_RRC_WEAK_REDIR_SWITCH:
Whether to activate the RRC redirection in weak
coverage algorithm. When this switch is turned on, UEs
located in weak coverage are redirected to the
neighboring GSM cell through RRC redirection. When
this switch is turned off, this algorithm is disabled. 29.
PERFENH_L2U_CSFB_COMMCALL_SWITCH:
Whether to preferentially admit PS services of UEs
involved in LTE-to-UMTS CS fallback. When this
switch is turned on: If a UE involved in a LTE-to-UMTS
CS fallback is processing a non-real-time PS service,
the channel type and initial data rate for the PS service
are determined by the "NRTInitRateforL2U" parameter
in the "SET UFRC" command during service
admission. If the UE is processing a real-time PS
service, the UE follows the standard access procedure.
If the access attempt fails and the "PreemptAlgoSwitch"
in the "SET UQUEUEPREEMPT" command is turned
on, the UE can preempt radio resources of existing UEs
in the UMTS cell. When this switch is turned off, the
UE follows the standard access procedure for the PS
service. 30.

transmit power to the RNC when required and
periodically measure signal quality of intra-frequency
cells. In addition, these UEs measure the downlink
BLER, the NodeB measures the uplink SIR, and the
RNC records the measurement results. 16.
: Switch for including the Tx interruption after trigger
IE in the uplink 4A traffic volume measurement control
message. When this switch is turned on, the uplink 4A
traffic volume measurement control message from RNC
includes the Tx interruption after trigger IE for UEs that
are in the CELL_FACH or enhanced CELL_FACH
state and processing PS BE services. The value of this
IE can be changed by running the "SET
UUESTATETRANS" command. 17.

Description
WITCH: The NodeB baseband board uses different
processing specifications for users with different uplink
bearer services, for example, HSUPA TTI 2 ms
services, HSUPA TTI 10 ms services, and R99 services.
When serving a large number of users, the system
cannot guarantee that all users can access the network
with the highest service bearer supported by UEs. This
switch controls whether the RNC allocates
corresponding channels for new users based on the cell
capability reported through the NodeB private interface.
When this switch is turned on, the RNC dynamically
selects an appropriate uplink service bearer and
allocates corresponding channels for new users to
maximize the system capacity based on the actual
NodeB processing specifications. When this switch is
turned off, the optimization process is disabled. 18.
TCH: Whether to use the optimized TTI switching
algorithm for BE services When this switch is turned
off, the optimized algorithm does not take effect. The
original mechanism is implemented. When this switch
is turned on, the optimized algorithm takes effect. After
HSUPA services are configured or reconfigured with 10
ms TTI due to network resource (admission CEs,
RTWP, consumed Iub bandwidth, or consumed CEs)
congestion or insufficient coverage, these UEs cannot
change to use 2 ms TTI if no data needs to be
transmitted. 19.
PERFENH_DOWNLOAD_ENHANCE_SWITCH:
Whether to activate the algorithm for increasing the
single-threaded download rate. 20.
PERFENH_OLPC_BLER_COEF_ADJUST: Switch
for adjusting the BLER coefficient specific to CS
services based on the best cell's uplink load status. When
this switch is turned on, the outer loop power control
algorithm uses the target BLER set by the OMU board
if the best cell's uplink load status is LDR or OLC. If the
status is neither LDR nor OLC, this algorithm uses this
target BLER after being divided by five. 21.
PERFENH_EMG_AGPS_MC_DELAY_SWITCH:
Whether to enable the function of delaying the sending
of an RRC_MEAS_CTRL message containing AGPS
information when an emergency call is made. When this
switch is turned on, the RNC delays the sending of this
message until the emergency call is successfully set up.
When this switch is turned off, the RNC sends this

H: Whether to enable a UE having multiple RLSs to use
the value of "CQIReF" and the value of "CQIFbCk" that
are for UEs having only one RLS. The two parameters
can be set by running the "SET UHSDPCCH" and
"ADD UCELLHSDPCCH" commands. When this
switch is turned off, the UE does not use the values of
the two parameters that are for UEs having only one
RLS. When this switch is turned on, the UE uses the
values of the two parameters that are for UEs having
only one RLS. 23.
CH: Whether to enable a RELOCATION REQUIRED
message to contain the IE calculationTimeForCiphering. When this switch is turned on, static relocation
request messages contain the IE calculationTimeForCiphering. 24.
PERFENH_IS_TIMEOUT_TRIG_DRD_SWITCH:
Whether to trigger the DRD procedure and channel
switchover from E-DCH or HS-DSCH to DCH when
messages transmitted over the Uu and Iub interfaces do
not arrive in time. When this switch is turned off, the
DRD procedure and channel switchover from E-DCH
or HS-DSCH to DCH are not triggered if messages
transmitted over the Uu and Iub interfaces do not arrive
in time. When this switch is turned on, the DRD
procedure and channel switchover from E-DCH or HSDSCH to DCH are triggered if messages transmitted
over the Uu and Iub interfaces do not arrive in time. 25.
END: Whether to consider CE or code resource usage
when determining the resource status of a cell whose
serving boards or CP sub-systems are different from
those of its neighboring cells. When this switch is turned
on, the RNC determines the resource status of such a
cell based on power, CE, and code resource usage. If
power, CE, or code resources in a cell become
congested, the RNC determines that the cell experiences
resource congestion. When this switch is turned off, the
RNC determines the resource status of such a cell based
on power resource usage only. 26.

intra-RAT DRDs or redirections during an RRC
connection setup. When this switch is turned on, the
RNC makes a pre-admission decision on intra-RAT
DRDs or redirections during an RRC connection setup.
When this switch is turned off, the RNC does not make
a pre-admission decision on intra-RAT DRDs or
redirections during an RRC connection setup. 28.
PERFENH_RRC_WEAK_REDIR_SWITCH:
Whether to activate the RRC redirection in weak
coverage algorithm. When this switch is turned on, UEs
located in weak coverage are redirected to the
neighboring GSM cell through RRC redirection. When
this switch is turned off, this algorithm is disabled. 29.
PERFENH_L2U_CSFB_COMMCALL_SWITCH:
Whether to preferentially admit PS services of UEs
involved in LTE-to-UMTS CS fallback. When this
switch is turned on: If a UE involved in a LTE-to-UMTS
CS fallback is processing a non-real-time PS service,
the channel type and initial data rate for the PS service
are determined by the "NRTInitRateforL2U" parameter
in the "SET UFRC" command during service
admission. If the UE is processing a real-time PS
service, the UE follows the standard access procedure.
If the access attempt fails and the "PreemptAlgoSwitch"
in the "SET UQUEUEPREEMPT" command is turned
on, the UE can preempt radio resources of existing UEs
in the UMTS cell. When this switch is turned off, the
UE follows the standard access procedure for the PS
service. 30.

Meaning: The logical cell ID uniquely identifies a cell

in a radio network. The logical cell ID is configured at
the RNC. The RNC sends the cell ID to the base station
during a cell setup procedure. The mapping between
logical cell IDs and local cell IDs are configured at the
RNC. The RNC supports a maximum of 5100 logical
cells. Logical cells are uniquely but not necessarily
consecutively numbered within a RNC. For example,
you can set the ID of a logical cell to 0 and that of another
logical cell to 2. For clear and easy identification, adhere
to the following numbering principles: Specify different
number ranges for logical cells in different subracks.
For example, you can specify the range of 0 to 899 for
the logical cells in subrack 0 (MPS) and the range of
900 to 1799 for the logical cells in subrack 1 (EPS).For
detailed information about this parameter, see 3GPP TS
