 Chapter 1
Functional Description
HSUPA power control includes uplink open loop power control, uplink outer loop power
control and downlink open loop power control.
The uplink open loop power control of HSUPA refers to determining the E-DCH MAC-d
flow power offset and the power offset (PO) corresponding to the reference E-TFC and
reference E-TFC.
The E-DCH MAC-d flow power offset is used to reflect the quality differences among
varying services. For example, the power offset of a higher-priority service can be
configured to be higher than that of a lower-priority service, so that the quality of the
higher-priority service is better. Therefore, different E-DCH MAC-d flow power offsets are
configured for different services to reflect differentiated services for configuration principle
of E-DCH MAC-d Flow Power Offset.
PO corresponding to the reference E-TFC and reference E-TFC: Once UE selects an
E-TFC, it calculates the power needed by the E-TFC on the basis of the reference E-TFC
and reference PO.
The principle of uplink outer loop power control of HSUPA is similar to that of outer loop
power control of R99, that is, the SIRtarget used by inner loop power control is adjusted
in light of service quality, so as to adjust a subscriber's transmit power. The difference is,
however, the service quality here is evaluated by the retransmission attempts of FP frames.
That is, the more times the FP frame is retransmitted, the worse the channel quality is. In
this case, higher SIRtarget is needed to increase the transmit power; otherwise, lower
SIRtarget is needed to decrease the transmit power.
Downlink open loop power control of HSUPA
In the downlink of HSUPA, the information of E-DCH AG, RG and ACK/NACK is sent
to UE. To make sure that UE receives such control information correct, reasonable
E-AGCH/E-RGCH/E-HICH power offset should be configured for these physical channels.

Uplink Initial SIR Target = 8 as default

Maximum Uplink SIR Target = 15 as default
Minimum Uplink SIR Target = 4 as default
Sub-Service for uplink maximum bit rate2048kbps, background service is 180.

As sttd Support Indicator is not supported, so txDivMod is 0.

In our test, Used Power Control Profile Related to Service is USrvPcProfile=0.

So according to the information which listed above, the "power control related to
service and diversity mode" is "txDivMod=0,srvType=180,UsrvPcProfile=0" in our
test, it should coincide with real environments.

4.1 Test Purpose

The purpose of this test case is to verify the function of Power Allocation for HSUPA is
working normally.

4.2 Steps for Test

1. UE1 activates a PS service in Cell1 and starts FTP uploading.

2. Adjust the signal strength to trigger the outer loop power control. From the internal
message "ptOlpcParaInfo", we can find the related information of outer loop power
control. The first figure as follows is about the information of SIRtarget, and the second
figure is about the threshold used to trigger outer loop power control.

3. Use the FPX tool(which can be found in folder "tools" of LMT tool) to analysis the IUB
packets which captured by wireshark. We can see the change of SIRTarget because
of outer loop power control.

4. From the EPMS of NODE-B, the adjustment of SIRtarget can also be observed.

5. Release the PS call after 3 minutes.

4.3 Expected Results

SIRtarget can be adjusted normally according to the changing of signal strength.
