Configuration of outer loop power control

Admission control determines the following configuration parameters for the needs of the UL outer loop
power control entity of the RNC:
quality target, that is block error ratio target (target BLER) value, is produced for a DCH allocated for a
RAB.
initial value of UL SIR target, and upper & lower limits for the UL SIR target are produced.
The quality target is produced also for the needs of the DL outer loop power control entity located in the
user equipment. Configuration parameters are produced for an individual RRC connection each time
dedicated resources are allocated or modified.
Connection based quality control parameters define the service and signaling bearer specific quality
targets and their related power thresholds for each transport channel configuration. Besides of the bearer
attributes, the values of the parameters can depend on the channel conditions such as propagation
environment, multi path conditions, and mobile speed. The
parameters are stored in the Object WRAB of the RNW data base in the RNC.
Up to 5 WRAB objects can be created by the operator to define the parameter sets of the quality control.
Management parameter WRABId identifies each WRAB object uniquely in the RNC. The operator
associates one of the objects with its parameter set to the BTS cell by
defining the identifier of the object with the cell specific management parameter EbNoSetIdentifier.
For a subset of the management parameters related to the WRAB object, the modification of the
parameter value requires reconfiguration of the BTS. This subset of parameters can only be modified if all
those WCEL objects are locked that have an association to the WRAB object defined with the
management parameter EbNoSetIdentifier.
A WRAB object can only be deleted if it has no association to any WCEL object defined with the
management parameter EbNoSetIdentifier.

Quality target
Cell specific Admission Control reads both the UL DCH & DL DCH quality targets for the RAB from the RAB
specific management parameter regardless of the values of the RAB attributes received from MSC:
CS AMR speech: EbNoDCHOfCSNBAMRQua
CS AMR-WB speech: EbNoDCHOfCSWBAMRQua
CS transparent data: EbNoDCHOfCSDataTQua
CS non-transparent data: EbNoDCHOfCSDataNTQua
PS Interactive (IA) & Background (BG) services: The UL & DL DCH has one of the data rates 8, 16, 32, 64,
128, 256 or 384 kbps allocated as its max. DCH user data rate.
Quality target of the UL DCH is set to the value of the management parameter
EbNoDCHOfPSNRTPriQua, if the selector of the parameter EbNoDCHOfPSNRTSelQuaUL is set for
the max. user bit rate of the DCH.
. Quality target of the UL DCH is set to the value of the management parameter
EbNoDCHOfPSNRTSecQua, if the selector of the parameter EbNoDCHOfPSNRTSelQuaUL is not
set for the max. user bit rate of the DCH.
. Quality target of the DL DCH is set to the value of the management parameter
EbNoDCHOfPSNRTPriQua, if the selector of the parameter EbNoDCHOfPSNRTSelQuaDL is set for
the max. user bit rate of the DCH.
. Quality target of the downlink DCH is set to the value of the management parameter
EbNoDCHOfPSNRTSecQua, if the selector of the parameter EbNoDCHOfPSNRTSelQuaDL is not
set for the max. user bit rate of the DCH.

* These parameters defines the value of the planned Eb/No for the DCH, which
transfers the protection class B / C RAB subflow of the CS NB-AMR speech with the
codec set (12.2), (12.2, 7.95, 5.9, 4.75) or (5.9, 4.75). The value of the Eb/No is
expressed in relation to the Eb/No value of the protection class A subflow DCH. The
parameter is applied for the UL & DL DCHs.

Initial target SIR for UL DPCCH

When the cell specific AC produces the initial SIR target of the UL DPCCH for the needs of the UL outer
loop power control in the SRNC, it uses the 3GPP SIR value specified in 3GPP TS 25.215: Physical layer
Measurements (FDD). The 3GPP SIR value is defined as the linear sum of the SIR values from all Rx
diversity antennas for the radio link.
The Rx diversity antenna specific value of the initial UL DPCCH SIR target depends on the actual UL
physical channel configuration:
When neither the E-DPCH nor the HS-DPCCH is configured in any radio link of the RRC connection, the
value of the initial SIR target is defined with the SIRDPCCHInitialDCH4, SIRDPCCHInitialDCH8,
SIRDPCCHInitialDCH16, SIRDPCCHInitialDCH32, SIRDPCCHInitialDCH64, SIRDPCCHInitialDCH128,
SIRDPCCHInitialDCH256, SIRDPCCHInitialDCHRxDiv2, SIRDPCCHInitialDCHRxDiv4 &
SIRDPCCHInitialDCHOffset parameter set of the Initial SIR target for UL DPCCH with DPDCH
(SIRDPCCHInitialDCH) structured management parameter.
Parameters are read from the WRAB object of the radio network database identified with the
management parameter EbNoSetIdentifier.
The initial SIR target depends on the size of the UL DPDCH minimum spreading factor and the used Rx
diversity; a particular offset value can be defined with the SIRDPCCHInitialDCHOffset management
parameter.
When the HS-DPCCH is configured in the radio link, but the EDPCH is not configured in any radio link
of the RRC connection, the value of the initial SIR target is defined with the SIRDPCCHInitialDCHHS4,
SIRDPCCHInitialDCHHS8, SIRDPCCHInitialDCHHS16, SIRDPCCHInitialDCHHS32,
SIRDPCCHInitialDCHHS64, SIRDPCCHInitialDCHHS128, SIRDPCCHInitialDCHHS256,
SIRDPCCHInitialDCHRxDiv2, SIRDPCCHInitialDCHRxDiv4 and SIRDPCCHInitialDCHOffset parameter
set of the Initial SIR target for UL DPCCH with DPDCH (SIRDPCCHInitialDCH) structured management
parameter.
Parameters are read from the WRAB object of the radio network database identified with the
management parameter EbNoSetIdentifier.
The initial SIR target depends on the size of the UL min. spreading factor and the used Rx- diversity;
particular offset value can be defined with the SIRDPCCHInitialDCHOffset management parameter.

Maximum & minimum values of the UL 3GPP SIR target

The cell specific AC defines the max. & min. values of the UL 3GPP SIR target for the outer loop power
control.
If the E-DCH is not configured in any radio link of the RRC connection, the max. & min. values of the UL
3GPP SIR target are defined as follows:
maximum values: (targetSIRDPCCH - offsetDCH) + SIRDPCCHInitialDCHMax
minimum values: (targetSIRDPCCH - offsetDCH) + SIRDPCCHInitialDCHMin
Management parameters SIRDPCCHInitialDCHMax and SIRDPCCHInitialDCHMin are read from the
WRAB object identified with the management parameter EbNoSetIdentifier.
If the E-DCH is configured in a radio link of the RRC connection, the max. & min. values of the SIR target
are defined internally by the cell specific AC as described in the RRM of HSUPA functional area
description.

Radio Link established or modified both max. DL Tx power & min. DL Tx power
has to be determined for it.

The average power of transmitted DPDCH symbols over 1 timeslot must not exceed
maximum DL Tx power, or it can not be below minimum DL Tx power.
The Power Control Dynamic Range of BTS is the difference between the max. and
the min. transmit output power of a code channel.

Radio signaling capacity is vital in highly smartphone penetrated networks

The RRC Connection Setup Redirection feature is particularly useful in mass
events when common channels are highly loaded
Instead of allowing useless RACH attempts in congested WCDMA layer the
feature redirects proactively the UE to the other WCDMA layer or to GSM system
Target WCDMA layer, GSM system or GSM cell is chosen by an algorithm and
management parameters settings
The algorithm of the feature utilizes the load status information about other
WCDMA layers and GSM cells in the target cell selection procedure

The RRM decision about the target system depends on the establishment
cause of the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message.
If the RNC successfully receives the RRC
CONNECTION REQUEST message then
the Admission Control (AC) determines
whether the request can be accepted
The following criterions are taken into
account:
downlink transmit power (TCP),
uplink interference (RTWP),
channelization code availability, and
Iub transport capacity

If the AC denies the connection request then the RRC CONNECTION

REJECT message is returned to the UE
The RRC CONNECTION REJECT message uses SRB 0 on the CCCH
logical channel, FACH transport channel and S-CCPCH physical
channel

of establishment cause of the RRC Connection
Request and RRCReDirTargetSys
The RRCReDirTargetSys parameter defines a
primary target system and (optional) secondary
