WCDMA RAN
Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
2.1 Background
The WCDMA system is a self-interference system. The most important way to restrain
system interference is through power control. Power control minimizes transmission power
while ensuring service quality. Power control is performed by the UTRAN to adjust and
control the power of transmitting signals according to changes of the channel environment
and quality of received signals.
Power control can be divided and outer loop power control (OLPC) and into inner loop power
control (ILPC):
l OLPC determines whether the difference between the uplink block error rate (BLER)
and the target BLER is decreasing. If it is decreasing, OLPC adjusts the signal-to-
interference ratio (SIR) target based on the difference. The adjusted target SIR is then
sent to the RNC for ILPC.
l ILPC determines whether the difference between the uplink SIR and the SIR target is
decreasing. If it is decreasing, ILPC adjusts the transmit power of UEs based on the
difference.
When calculating the uplink BLER for OLPC, if the RNC may receive either incorrect or
correct voice frames. If the RNC receives incorrect voice frames, it promptly increases the
target SIR promptly; if the RNC receives correct voice frames, it slowly decreases the target
SIR slowly to avoid a ping-pong effect. However, the target SIR remains unchanged for UEs
that are performing CS voice services in the discontinuous transmission (DTX) state because
the UEs are not transmitting data. Consequently, the transmit power of these UEs is wasted.
To improve the power efficiency of UEs that are performing CS voice services, OLPC takes
BER and BLER into account when assessing radio channel quality for higher accuracy and
adjusts the target SIR of each voice frame more quickly. In addition, to improve the efficiency
of transmit power of UEs, the DTX power control algorithm is used for CS voice services of
UEs in the DTX state. While ensuring DPCCH quality, this algorithm quickly decreases the
target SIR to reduce the transmit power of UEs performing CS voice services.
For ILPC, the NodeB uses the multipath searching algorithm to search for multipath radio
signals, combines the signals, and estimates the SIR. In some scenarios with a low signal-to-
noise ratio (SNR), the NodeB cannot detect weak signals transmitted through some of the
paths and therefore the estimated SIR is inaccurate. Therefore, an enhanced multipath
searching algorithm is introduced to increase the capability of the NodeB to search for weak

Description 2 Overview
signals as well as improve the accuracy of the estimated SIR. Meanwhile, the SIR estimation
algorithm is optimized to minimize the variance of the estimated SIR, which also improves
accuracy.
2.2 Introduction
This feature provides optimized outer loop power control (OLPC) and inner loop power
control (ILPC), which apply only to the uplink CS voice services.
l The optimized OLPC function consists of the OLPC algorithm based on BLER and BER
and the DTX power control algorithm.
– The OLPC algorithm based on the BLER is optimized by introducing the BER for
radio channel quality estimation, which facilitates accurate power control of UEs.
– When no voice data is transmitted by UEs performing CS voice services in the
DTX state, the DTX power control algorithm quickly decreases the target SIR to
save transmit power of UEs.
l Optimized ILPC consists of the optimized multipath searching algorithm and SIR
estimation algorithm.
– The multipath searching algorithm is optimized to improve the capability of the
NodeB when searching for multipath signals so that weaker signals can be detected
and the estimated uplink SIR becomes more accurate.
– The optimized SIR estimation algorithm minimizes the variation and improves the
accuracy of the estimated SIR so that ILPC can respond to changes in the radio
channel more appropriately.
2.3 Benefits
This feature improves the mean opinion score (MOS) of narrowband voice and wideband
voice services by 0.05 to 0.1 points.
2.4 Architecture
This feature is implemented on the RNC and NodeB as follows:
l The OLPC algorithm based on BLER and BER is implemented on the RNC.
l The DTX power control algorithm, optimized multipath searching algorithm, and
optimized SIR estimation algorithm are implemented on the NodeB.

WCDMA RAN
Description 3 Principles
3 Principles
3.1 Overview
CS Voice Precise Power Control is enabled when the VoicePPCSwitch (BSC6900, BSC6910)
in the RNC MML command SET UCSVOICEPPC is set to ON.
The following figure shows the basic principles of CS Voice Precise Power Control.
Figure 3-1 Principle of CS Voice Precise Power Control
The details of this feature are as follows:
1. The NodeB reports the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) and Quality Estimate (QE)
results to the RNC.

WCDMA RAN
NOTE
When the CRC result is 0, correct voice frames are received by the NodeB. When the CRC result
is 1, incorrect voice frames are received by the NodeB. The QE result is the quantized BER.
According to section 6.2.4.5 "Quality Estimate" in 3GPP TS 25.427 and section 9.2.9.2 "Transport
channel BER measurement report mapping" in 3GPP TS 25.133, the quantization formula of QE is
. The BER ranges from 0 to 1, and therefore the QE result ranges

from 0 to 255.
2. The RNC calculates the target SIR based on the CRC and QE results and sends the target
SIR to the NodeB.
3. The NodeB uses the DTX power control algorithm to adjust the target SIR according to
the voice service state (DTX or non-DTX).
4. The NodeB searches for multipath signals and estimates the SIR based on the received
signals. ILPC compares the estimated SIR with the target SIR obtained by the DTX
power control algorithm. According to the comparison result, the NodeB sends an inner
loop power control command with the transmit power control (TPC) to UEs. The UEs
then adjust their transmit power accordingly.
3.2 Outer Loop Power Control Based on BLER and BER

Overview
The outer loop power control can be based on BLER or BER. The following figure illustrates
the basic principles of outer loop power control.
BLER-based Outer Loop Power Control

The BLER-based outer loop power control algorithm calculates the BLER measurement value
according to CRC results. It then determines whether to adjust the QE target value (QEtarget)
by comparing the BLER measurement value (BLERmeas) with the BLER target value
(BLERtarget). This measurement is determined by the following formula:

WCDMA RAN
QEtarget after adjustment = QEtarget before adjustment + QEtarget adjustment value

l QEtarget adjustment value = (BLERtarget - BLERmeas x QeFactor (BSC6900,
BSC6910)) x QeStepSize (BSC6900, BSC6910)
l For the first frame, the QEtarget before adjustment is the initial QEtarget.
Initial QEtarget = int (InitQeFactor (BSC6900, BSC6910) x BLERtarget + InitQeConst
(BSC6900, BSC6910))
BER-based Outer Loop Power Control

The BER-based outer loop power control function determines whether to increase or decrease
the SIR target value (SIRtarget) by comparing the QE (BER quantized value) reported by the
NodeB with the QEtarget after adjustment. This measurement is determined by the following
formula:
SIRtarget after adjustment = SIRtarget before adjustment + SIRtarget adjustment value

l SIRtarget adjustment value = (QE reported by the NodeB - QEtarget after adjustment) x
SirStepSize (BSC6900, BSC6910)
l For the first frame, the SIRtarget before adjustment is the initial SIRtarget.
3.3 DTX Power Control

When performing a voice service in the DTX state, a UE transmits only control information
(such as pilot information and TPC) and does not transmit data on the uplink DPCCH. DTX
power control appropriately reduces the target SIR while ensuring the PDCCH quality,
thereby reducing the transmit power of UEs.
DTX power control determines whether a UE performing a voice service is in the DTX state
as follows:
l When receiving an SID frame from this UE, the NodeB determines that the UE is in the
DTX state.
l When receiving a voice frame from this UE, the NodeB determines that the UE is not in
the DTX state.
When a UE switches from the non-DTX state to the DTX state, the target SIR is automatically
decreased depending on the value of SirDtxConst (BSC6900, BSC6910). When the UE
switches from the DTX state to the non-DTX state, the target SIR is restored to the original
value.
3.4 Optimized Multipath Searching

The multipath searching algorithm calculates, based on pilot information, the accumulated
power of all signals in a timeslot to assess the multipath signal status. However, when the SIR
is low, the signals in some paths are so weak that the accumulated power of these signals may
be surpassed by noise, thereby causing the signals to be undetected.
The optimized multipath searching algorithm accumulates the data in all pilots of multiple
timeslots to assess the multipath signal quality. This reduces the impact of noise on signal
quality and enhances the performance of searching for weak signals in low-SIR scenarios,
thereby improving the accuracy of ILPC.

WCDMA RAN
3.5 Optimized SIR Estimation

The SIR estimation algorithm estimates the SIR based on all pilots of a timeslot. However, the
pilot information of a single timeslot is insufficient for accurate SIR estimation. Therefore, the
optimized SIR estimation algorithm calculates all information from the previous timeslot plus
the pilot information from the current timeslot to obtain the average SIR of the two timeslots,
which provides more accurate ILPC.

6.4 Performance Monitoring

1. Observe the EVQI-related counters in the following table to verify the gain in voice
quality.
Counters that reflect the gains provided by this feature vary from network to network. It
is expected that one or several counters in the following table meet the requirements and
the proportion of AMR services with a high EVQI increases.

2. Use a MOS drive tester to conduct a drive test on a single user and obtain the MOS. The
average MOS is expected to increase by 0.05 to 0.1.
3. When the DTX power control algorithm takes effect, that is, when the value of Target-
SIR Adjust Constant for DTX PC is not zero, the following impacts may be resulted
during the DTX period: the SIR target reduces, the BLER increases, and the values
returned by the following counters increase.

(BSC6900, BSC6910) AMR-NB Services Is POOR

(BSC6900, BSC6910) AMR-WB Services Is BAD
When the DTX power control algorithm takes effect on networks where DTX takes up a
large proportion, the uplink voice service BLER may increase due to the increase of the
BLER during the DTX period. However, errored blocks generated during the DTX
period have no impact on the actual voice quality.
You can use the following function on the U2000 to initiate measurement of counters
associated with this feature in one-click mode: Quickly Setting Performance Measurement by
Feature. For details, see "Quickly Setting Performance Measurement by Feature" in iManager
U2000 MBB Network Management System Product Documentation.
6.5 Parameter Optimization

The MOS of AMR voice services is also related to the proportion of AMR voice services that
uses DTX. An excessively small proportion of AMR voice services using DTX may result in
a relatively small increase in the MOS. If an excessively small proportion of AMR voice
services is using DTX, the operator can improve the quality of AMR voice services by
running the RNC MML command SET UCSVOICEPPC with the value of QeFactor
decreased.
6.6 Troubleshooting
If there is no gain or there is negative gain after feature activation, perform the following
parameter check:
1. Run the RNC MML command LST UTYPRABTFS to query whether

UlRateMatchingAttr is set to the recommended values listed in Table 6-2. If
UlRateMatchingAttre is not set to the recommended values, contact Huawei technical
support.

– If PC_OLPC_SWITCH is deselected, contact Huawei technical support.
– If PC_OLPC_SWITCH is selected, run the RNC MML command LST
UTYPRABOLPC to query whether InitSirtarget, MaxSirtarget, and
MinSirtarget for the AMR-NB service (RabIndex=0) and AMR-WB service
(RabIndex=1) are set to recommended values listed in Table 6-2. If these
parameters are not set to the recommended values, contact Huawei technical
