Power Control
2 Overview
2 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).
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.
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:
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:
Common channel power control
DCH channel power control
HSDPA power control
HSUPA power control

2 Overview
2.3 Organization
Chapters 3 to 6 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.
Chapter 7 describes the enhanced functions and features related to power control. You need to learn
about the basic features when reading chapter 7.

3 Common Channel Power Control

Common channels consist of the PRACH in the uplink and the P-CPICH, P-SCH, S-SCH, P-CCPCH,
S-CCPCH, AICH, and PICH in the downlink. Only open loop power control is used on these common
channels.
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- CPICH_RSCP + UL interference + Constantvalue
where
PCPICHPower
CPICH_RSCP
defines the P-CPICH transmit power in a cell.
is the received signal code power of the P-CPICH.
UL interference
indicates the uplink RTWP.
Constantvalue
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 on the RNC. The power of preamble is increased for each
retransmission by a power ramp step configured by PowerRampStep 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 back-off delay. The
parameters NB01min and NB01max define the lower and upper limits of the back-off delay. If the
value of NB01min is equal to that of NB01max, 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. In each cycle, the UE retransmits the preamble until the UE receives the acquisition indicator
or the number of retransmissions has reached PreambleRetransMax.

3-1
WCDMA RAN
Power Control
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.
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. PowerOffsetPpm must be set for each instance of PRACH TFC.
It is recommended that the value of PowerOffsetPpm 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 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
Pcontrol
is the power for the control part.
is the power gain factor for the data part. The value is defined by GainFactorBetaD.
is the power gain factor for the control part. The value is defined by GainFactorBetaC.
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:
MaxUlTxPowerforConv (conversational)
MaxUlTxPowerforBac (background)
MaxUlTxPowerforInt (interactive)
MaxUlTxPowerforStr (streaming)
MaxAllowedUlTxPower
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:
Primary Common Pilot Channel (P-CPICH)
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.

3-2
WCDMA RAN
Power Control
Parameter
Description
PCPICHPower
The P-CPICH power is specified by PCPICHPower as an absolute value in

dBm. The transmit power of any other channel is an offset from the P-CPICH
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
SSCHPower
The values of PSCHPower and SSCHPower 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.
BCHPower
BCHPower 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
Set the value of MaxFachPower 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 may be
changed. For the related function, see Load Control Feature Parameter
Description.
PCHPower
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 be affected and the cell capacity will be reduced.
AICHPowerOffset
Ensure that all UEs at the cell edge can receive the access indication. To avoid
wasting power, the transmit power should not be too large.
PICHPowerOffset
If the value of this parameter is too small, the UEs at the cell edge will fail to
receive paging indicators correctly, which will affect the downlink coverage. If it is
too large, other channels will be affected and the cell capacity will be reduced.

4 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.
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.

Figure 4-1 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.

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
DPCCH_Initial_Power is the initial power.
DPCCH_Power_Offset is provided by the RNC and sent to the UE.

4-1
WCDMA RAN
Power Control
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 + Uplink interference + DefaultConstantValue
where
DPCCH_Power_Offset is the power offset of the DPCCH.
PCPICHPower 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 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 and BETAD
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.
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:
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.

4-2
WCDMA RAN
Power Control
Initial Power of Downlink DPDCH

The RNC uses the P-CPICH power, the traffic rate requested by the UE, measured Ec/N0 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 parameter is selected.
The power of the downlink DPDCH is limited for each radio link by RlMaxDlPwr and RlMinDlPwr. The
values for RlMaxDlPwr and RlMinDlPwr are different for different data rates of RABs.
If the UE establishes only one service on the DCH, RlMaxDlPwr and RlMinDlPwr for the DPDCH are
determined by the values for RlMaxDlPwr and RlMinDlPwr for this service.
If the UE establishes multiple services on the DCH, RlMaxDlPwr and RlMinDlPwr for the DPDCH are
determined together by the values for RlMaxDlPwr and RlMinDlPwr, and rate matching gains and
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 for RlMaxDlPwr for the downlink HSDPA A-DPCH. For details about this feature, see section
0"For descriptions of the power load state specified by the LoadStateForPilotPwrAdj parameter, see
related descriptions in section 3.1 "Load-related Measurement Quantities" of Load Control Feature
Parameter Description.
." 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.
If the WRFD-150230 DPCH Pilot Power Adjustment feature is not activated, the pilot-field 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/N0 on CPICH and the Ec/N0 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 parameter is selected.
The power of the downlink F-DPCH is limited by the maximum power (PCPICHPower +
FdpchMaxRefPwr + FdpchPO2) and minimum power (PCPICHPower + FdpchMinRefPwr +
FdpchPO2).

4-3
WCDMA RAN
Power Control
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.
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.
If
SIRest is larger than SIRtarget, the cell in the active set sends a TPC command 0 to the UE.
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 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
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. 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.

4-4
WCDMA RAN
Power Control
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.
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
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
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.

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 the L3 (Layer 3), which is denoted as SIRtarget.
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.
If
SIRest is larger than SIRtarget, the UE sends a TPC command 0 to the NodeB.
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. When
DpcMode is set to SINGLE_TPC, the UE sends a TPC command for every timeslot; when DpcMode
is set to TPC_TRIPLET_IN_SOFT, the UE sends a TPC command in a 3-timeslot cycle; when
DpcMode 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
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 parameter is set to OFF, then
the following formula is used:
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. TPCest is the estimated TPC.

If PC_INNER_LOOP_LMTED_PWR_INC_SWITCH under the PcSwitch parameter is set to ON, then
the following formula is used:

4-6
WCDMA RAN
Power Control
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
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.
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.

4-8
WCDMA RAN
Power Control
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
Pref
is the downlink reference power.
Pmax
is the maximum downlink transmitted code power of all the UE radio links.
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.
Pmin
is the minimum downlink transmitted code power of all the UE radio links.
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:
Pbal=(1-r) x (Pref + PP-CPICH - Pinit)
where
Pbal
r
is the total power correction.
is fixed at 0.
Pref
is the reference power that is calculated in the previous step.
PP-CPICH
Pinit
is the P-CPICH transmit power in a cell, which is defined by PCPICHPower.
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 4-timeslot 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
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."

4-9
WCDMA RAN
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 parameter is set to ON, there are two cases:
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 parameter is set to OFF, the SIRtarget is fixed and the
uplink outer loop power control for all UEs is deactivated.
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
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 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)

4-10
WCDMA RAN
Power Control
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.
BLERtar(i) is the BLERtarget of the ith transport channel, which could be defined by the BLERQuality
parameter.
Step(i) is the adjustment step of the ith transport channel, which could be defined by the
SirAdjustStep parameter.
SIRtarget is adjusted per steps. In an outer loop power control adjustment period (SirAdjustPeriod), the
maximum increase/decrease must not exceed a specified value (MaxSirStepUp/MaxSirStepDn), and
SIRtarget must not exceed the upper threshold (MaxSirtarget) and lower threshold (MinSirtarget). The
SIRtar limitation is calculated with the following formula:
SIRtar = SIRtar(n+1) SIRtar(n)
If (SIRtar > 0) and (SIRtar > MaxSirStepUp), then SIRtar(n+1) = SIRtar(n) + MaxSirStepUp.
If (SIRtar < 0) and (ABS(SIRtar) > MaxSirStepDn), then SIRtar(n+1) = SIRtar(n) MaxSirStepDn.
SirAdjustPeriod 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:
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 SIR target 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)F(n-1)+a*M(n)
where
F(n) is the average BER value after filtering.

4-12
WCDMA RAN
Power Control
a is the filter coefficient which can be set through the DtxBerTarFilterCoef or

NonDtxBerTarFilterCoef parameter.
F(n1) 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.

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.
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.
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.
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 HS-DPCCH TTI.
Figure 5-1 Power Control on HS-DPCCH

5-1
WCDMA RAN
Power Control
The HS-DPCCH transmit power is calculated with the following formula:

PHS-DPCCH = PUL DPCCH x 10HS-DPCCH/10
where
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 HS-DPCCH
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.
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.
RNC automatically set ACK/NACK power offset and CQI power offset according to the UE capability and
the number of RLSs in the active set. When the UE is in the single-RLS state, CQI power offset from UL
DPCCH is specified by CQIPO. When the UE is in the multi-RLS state, CQI power offset from UL
DPCCH is specified by CQIPOforSHO.
Repetition Factors
Repetition factors of ACK/NACK and CQI are signaled to the UE and NodeB from the RNC. When the
UE is in the single-RLS state, repetition factors of CQI are specified by CQIReF. When the UE is in the
multi-RLS state, repetition factors of CQI are specified by CQIFbCkforSHO.
The UE does not attempt to receive or decode transport blocks from the HS-DSCH sub-frames during
the UE ACK or NACK retransmission.
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. 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. The value of CQIFbCk 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. 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. Value 0 of CQIFbCkforSHO indicates that no CQI
For conversational services, the period of sending the CQI feedback is specified by CQIFBckforConver.
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. For
non-conversational services in MIMO+DC-HSDPA mode, especially the BE services and streaming
services, the period of sending the CQI feedback is specified by CQIFBckforDcMimo.

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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Dynamic
transmit power control based on CQI: The NodeB converts the measured CPICH Ec/N0 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/N0 to the NodeB, the UE
obtains the measured CPICH Ec/N0 and reports the value to the RNC, and then the RNC assigns the measured CPICH
Ec/N0 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. 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.

6 HSUPA Power Control

This chapter describes the feature WRFD-01061203 HSUPA Power Control.
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
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
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 extrapolation formula will be used only when the following conditions are met:
PcSwitch:
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 extrapolation formula are configured.
If the previous conditions are not met, the interpolation formula will be used.
For detail information about power extrapolation formula and power interpolation formula, see 3GPP
TS 25.214.
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 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).

6-1
WCDMA RAN
Power Control
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 SIR target 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

Overview
In the downlink, HSUPA has three additional control channels: E-AGCH, E-RGCH, and E-HICH. The
following power control methods are used:
Power Control Based on Fixed Power
Power Control Based on Downlink DPCH/F-DPCH, including power control based on TPC and power
control based on pilot
HSUPA E-AGCH Power Control (Based on CQI or HS-SCCH), including power control based on CQI
and power control based on HS-SCCH
The power control methods can be configured on the NodeB for each channel through the following
parameters:
EAGCHPCMOD (E-AGCH power control mode)
NSEHICHPCMOD (non-serving E-HICH power control mode)
SEHICHPCMOD (serving E-HICH power control mode)
NSERGCHPCMOD (non-serving E-RGCH power control mode)
SERGCHPCMOD (serving E-RGCH power control mode)
These parameters may have the value of FIXED, FOLLOW_TPC, RNC_BASED, CQI_BASED, or
HSSCCH_BASED, as listed in Table 6-1.

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, E-RGCH, 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
PE-AGCH, PE-RGCH, and PE-HICH are the transmit power of the E-AGCH, E-RGCH, and E-HICH,
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.
EAGCHPower (E-AGCH power)
SERGCHPower (Serving E-RGCH power)
NSERGCHPower (Non-serving E-RGCH power)
SingleRLEHICHPower (Single RL E-HICH power)
SEHICHPower (Serving 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 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
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.

6.4.4 HSUPA E-AGCH Power Control (Based on CQI or HS-SCCH)

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 E-AGCH 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 consist of the downlink DPDCH and DPCCH. As a part of the DPCCH, the pilot field is
used for 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 with higher transmit power and a longer bit
length to increase the accuracy of SIR estimations 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. In 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 admit more UEs or increase HSDPA throughput.
Technical Description
This feature is controlled by PC_PILOT_PO_OPTI_SWITCH under the PcSwitch parameter.
When downlink non-HSPA power load in a cell is equal to or larger that the value specified in the
LoadStateForPilotPwrAdj parameter, this feature configures the bit length and pilot-field power offset
as follows during the initial access process:
Bit

DlDpchSf256PilotBit parameter and the pilot-field power offset is determined by the value of the
PilotPO parameter. Note that the spreading factor of the DPCH must be 256.

Power Control
NOTE
DPCH pilot-filed power offset configuration during the initial access process occurs when the downlink DPCH is
established in any of the following scenarios:
The UE initiates an RRC connection setup process in the cell the UE accesses.
The UE transits from the URA_PCH, CELL_PCH or CELL_FACH state to the CELL_DCH state.
The UE is performing an incoming inter-cell hard handover process.
The UE falls back from HSDPA channels to R99 channels.

in section 3.1 "Load-related Measurement Quantities" of Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
7.1.2 DPCH Maximum Power Restriction

This section describes the WRFD-150235 DPCH Maximum Power Restriction feature, which correlates
with "Initial Power of Downlink DPDCH" in section 4.2.2 "Downlink Open Loop Power Control on DPCH."
Overview
The downlink A-DPCH is used to transmit signaling messages and perform power control. When HSPDA
services are being connected, the A-DPCH consumes downlink power even though there are no
signaling messages to transmit. If a cell serves a large number of HSDPA UEs, the A-DPCH will
consume a large amount of downlink power and the amount of power available for channels that
transmit HSDPA data is greatly reduced.
In this situation, the WRFD-150235 DPCH Maximum Power Restriction feature is introduced. This
feature effectively controls the maximum transmit power of the downlink A-DPCH, which promotes
downlink system capacity.
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 sum of threshold corresponding to
dpchMaxPwrRtrLoadStat and 10%:
Maximum
downlink transmit power (RlMaxDlPwr) for the A-DPCH is reduced if there are no
signaling messages transmitted on the A-DPCH.
The
original setting of RlMaxDlPwr is restored if signaling messages are being transmitted on the
A-DPCH.
After this feature takes effect, if downlink non-HSPA power load in a cell is lighter than the difference of
threshold corresponding to dpchMaxPwrRtrLoadStat and 10%, this feature becomes invalid and the
original setting of the RlMaxDlPwr parameter is restored.
NOTE
This feature applies only to non-voice services and the downlink DPCH can only carry HSDPA UEs using 3.4 kbit/s SRBs.
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 SIR target 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

WCDMA RAN
Power Control
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:
Scenario

Outer Loop Power Control

Enhancement
RB establishment The initial SIRtarget (InitSirtarget) is set

or reconfiguration to a large value to increase the RB
establishment success rate. However, it
takes a long time for the SIRtarget to
decrease to the convergence value of
the SIRtarget (RefSIRtarget) when RB
establishment or reconfiguration is
complete, wasting uplink power.
The enhanced feature uses a larger

step to decrease the SIRtarget so that
the SIRtarget quickly decreases when
RB establishment or reconfiguration is
complete.
Burst

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.

to prevent sudden SIRtarget increases

interference.

increase. However, the SIRtarget slowly
decreases to a proper value after the UE
transmit power becomes sufficient.
Therefore, uplink power is wasted when
UE transmit power becomes sufficient.
The enhanced feature sets the SIRtarget

to the initial SIRtarget (InitSirtarget)
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. Then, the RTWP continuously
increases, affecting cell capacity.
The enhanced feature adjusts the

RB Establishment or Reconfiguration
In this scenario, the enhanced feature is controlled by PC_OLPC_FastDown_Optimize_SWITCH under
the PCSwitch parameter.
Figure 7-1 shows the procedure for an SIRtarget quick decrease in the RB establishment or
reconfiguration scenario.

7-3
WCDMA RAN
Power Control
Figure 7-1 Flowchart for an SIRtarget quick decrease in the RB establishment or reconfiguration scenario
In Figure 7-1, decision condition 1 specifies whether a UE meets the requirements for an SIRtarget quick
decrease.
The RNC determines that a UE meets decision condition 1 if one of the following conditions is met:
Services carried on a DCH

The current SIRtarget is larger than the reference SIRtarget (RefSIRtarget) and the current BLER is 0.
Services carried on an E-DCH

RBLER-based
outer loop power control: The current SIRtarget is larger than the reference SIRtarget
(RefSIRtarget) and the current RBLER is 0.
NHR-based
outer loop power control: The current SIRtarget is larger than the reference SIRtarget
(RefSIRtarget) 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) 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

7-4
WCDMA RAN
Power Control
of the maximum range of the SIRtarget quick decrease to SIRtargetDownSpeed, which is calculated in
the following formula:
N = (InitSirtarget RefSIRtarget)/SIRtargetDownSpeed
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 x SirAdjustPeriod
NOTE
SirAdjustPeriod specifies the outer loop power control period. This period is RAB-specific. 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). RefSIRtarget 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 and RefSIRtarget. Therefore, the value of RefSIRtarget must be equal
to or smaller than the value of InitSirtarget. 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 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 PerfEnhanceSwitch
parameter of the RNC be turned on by using the SET UCORRMPAR command.
Burst Interference
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.
Figure 7-2 shows the procedure for an SIRtarget quick decrease in the burst interference scenario.

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 50%.
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:

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

Power Control
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}.
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}. 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

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.
If the SIRerror is lower than the threshold (3 dB) of event Fa for a period of time (80 ms), event Fa is
triggered.
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) 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 section "RB Establishment or
Reconfiguration."
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.

NOTE
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.
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.
1. 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.
2. 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.

A UE has only one SIRtarget. When multiple radio links have been established on the UE, the radio
link with the smallest adjustment (EDCHDTXDeltaSIRtarget or EDCHnonDTXDeltaSIRtarget) is
used for calculating the SIRtarget.
For a DTX UE over E-DCH

SIRtarget = max{SIRtarget from the RNC + min{EDCHDTXDeltaSIRtargeti, i=1,...}, min{SIRtarget from the

A UE has only one SIRtarget. When multiple radio links have been established on the UE, the radio link
with the smallest adjustment (EDCHDTXDeltaSIRtarget) is used for calculating the SIR target.

The three SIRtarget adjustments adjust from the initial value as follows:
If the real-time RoT of the cell reaches the slight congestion threshold, the NodeB decreases
EDCHDTXDeltaSIRtarget with the SIRtarget decrease step. If the real-time RoT of the cell is below the
slight congestion threshold, the NodeB increases EDCHDTXDeltaSIRtarget with the SIRtarget increase
step.
If the real-time RoT of the cell reaches the severe congestion threshold, the NodeB decreases
EDCHnonDTXDeltaSIRtarget and DCHDeltaSIRtarget with the SIR target decrease step. If the real-time
RoT of the cell is below the severe congestion threshold, the NodeB increases
EDCHnonDTXDeltaSIRtarget with the SIRtarget increase step and sets DCHDeltaSIRtarget to 0.
NOTE
Slight congestion threshold = real-time target RoT + 2 dB
For details about the real-time target RoT, see HSUPA Feature Parameter Description.
Severe congestion threshold: calculated based on the cell load and real-time target RoT
SIRtarget decrease step: equal to 0.3 dB by default for the DTX UE over E-DCH, non-DTX UE over E-DCH, and non-DTX

4. The NodeB sets the UE congestion indication.

The NodeB sets the UE congestion indication to "Congested" if the following conditions are met:

If the conditions above are not met, the NodeB sets the UE congestion indication to "Not Congested."
NOTE
The subscript "i" indicates the radio link number in the radio link set.
5. The RNC sets the maximum SIRtarget according to the UE congestion indication reported by the
NodeB. The initial UE congestion indication is "Not Congested."
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}. 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.
If the RNC does not receive the UE congestion indication, the maximum SIRtarget of the UE is equal to
MAXSIRTARGET.

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 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 Figure 7-4, 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.

7-10
WCDMA RAN
Power Control
Figure 7-4 DPCCH RX power in the small and large retransmission states without this feature
This feature is activated when PC_HSUPA_DATA_CH_PO_ADAPTIVE_ADJ_SWITCH under the

PcSwitch parameter is selected and the uplink load reaches MaxTargetUlLoadFactor. 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. 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 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.
Figure 7-5 DPCCH RX power in the small and large retransmission states with this feature
The little retransmission state can be classified into high-rate little retransmission state or low-rate little
retransmission state according to the date rate.
When the average data rate of a UE is lower than the value of EdPOAdpAdjRateDnThd, and the uplink
load of the cell is larger than MAXTARGETULLOADFACTOR * TrigRatioforUlRTWP, the UE is in the
low-rate little retransmission state. For a UE in the low-rate little retransmission state,
HarqPOLitRetrLRate specifies the Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) power offset. A larger

7-11
WCDMA RAN
Power Control
HARQ offset increases the E-DPDCH power offset, decreases the DPCCH RX power, and reduces the
power consumed on the uplink control channel. The saved power can be used by data channels, thereby
increasing the HSUPA capacity in the cell.
When the average data rate of a UE is higher than the value of EdPOAdpAdjRateDnThd, the UE is in
high-rate little retransmission state. For a UE in the high-rate little retransmission state,
HarqPOLitRetrHRate specifies the HARQ offset. The DPCCH RX power can be adjusted by setting
HarqPOLitRetrHRate to different values to ensure that the HSUPA performance does not deteriorate.
For a UE in the large retransmission state, HarqPOLargeRetr specifies the HARQ offset. The HARQ
offset can be set to a proper value to ensure a stable DPCCH RX power.
NOTE
If dynamic CE takes effect, the RNC configures the HARQ PO based on the real-time data rate of services. If DCCC
takes effect, the RNC configures the HARQ PO based on the real-time data rate of services.
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 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 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 is
configured at the RNC. This timer starts when the number of target retransmissions for a UE is adjusted.
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 "E-DCH 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 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 parameter value. However, in live networks, there are services with a low traffic
volume, and the data transmission duration may be 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 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 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 is used as the
initial power offset for low-rate 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

7-12
WCDMA RAN
Power Control
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, 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.
When PC_HSUPA_COVER_EN_AT_POLIMIT_SWITCH under the PcSwitch 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 MAC-layer 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). 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 about this feature, see 3GPP TS 25.214.

During busy hours at sites with high UE density, a large number (for example, 20 to 30) of HSUPA UEs

The enhanced feature allows SIRtarget quick adjustment in scenarios of service establishment or
reconfiguration, burst interference, and UE transmit power insufficiency. The enhanced feature reduces
the uplink power waste and increases cell uplink capacity.
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

After the enhanced feature is introduced, more uplink power resources are saved.
9.4 WRFD-150230 DPCH Pilot Power Adjustment

When the downlink load in a cell is heavy, this 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%. The
saved power can admit 5% to 10% extra UEs if non-HSPA load remains unchanged. This capacity gain
is affected by the proportion of UEs processing real-time services. The higher this proportion is, the less
the gain this feature provides.

Because the saved power can admit more UEs or increase the downlink throughput of a cell, this feature
positively affects network performance as follows:
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 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 is reduced. This increases the call drop rate. Calls drops become more noticeable in lightly
loaded cells.
9.5 WRFD-150235 DPCH Maximum Power Restriction

When non-HSPA power consumption is high, this 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%. The saved power can admit 5% to 15% extra UEs in this cell when non-HSPA power consumption
in this cell remains unchanged.

This feature positively affects network performance as follows:
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 negative impact on network performance. If the maximum transmit power of the
A-DPCH is reduced, Uu-interface synchronization probability will decrease, which increases the call
drop rate of HSDPA services. However, this feature causes call drops only for cell-edge HSDPA UEs. If a
large number of HSPDA UEs camp on the cell edge, this feature saves more downlink power but triggers
more call drops for these HSDPA UEs.

This feature does not need to be activated on the uplink DPCH.

Run the RNC MML command SET UFRC (CME single configuration: UMTS Radio Global
Configuration Express > Basic Resource Control Parameter Configuration > RNC Oriented FRC
Algorithm Parameters; CME batch modification center: Modifying RNC Parameters in Batches). In this
step, set the parameters related to uplink DPCH power control.
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

The message NBAP_RL_SETUP_REQ on the Iub interface shows the value of the IE
initialDL-transmissionPower. This value is used for the downlink DPCH open loop power control.
Verify open loop power control on the uplink DPCH

Check the IE dpcch-PowerOffset, whose value is the same as that of DPCCH Power Offset, under
the IE ul-DPCH-PowerControlIonfo contained in the RRC message RRC Connection Setup, as
shown in Figure 10-1. Based on the dpcch-PowerOffset value, the UE can further calculate the initial
transmit power on the uplink DPCCH (DPCCH_Initial_Power) and perform uplink open loop power
control.

Check whether the IE constantValue whose value is -20 is contained in the RRC_SYS_INFO_TYPE5
message by referring to Tracing Messages on the Uu Interface. If the message contains this IE,
parameters configured for the UE take effect. After obtaining values of these parameters, the UE
calculates the initial transmit power and performs open look power control on the uplink PARCH.

Parameter Settings
This feature is highly dependent on parameter settings. The relevant parameters must retain the default
values. Changing these parameter settings may lead to negative gains in certain scenarios. The relevant
parameters are:
EtfciTabIdx: index of an E-DCH Transport Format Combination Identifier (E-TFCI) table
RefEtfciNum: number of reference E-TFCIs
RefEtfciIdxn: index of a reference E-TFCI, where n equals 1, 2..., or 8, that is RefEtfciIdx1,

RefEtfciIdx2... RefEtfciIdx8
RefEtfciPOn: index of a reference PO, where n equals 1, 2..., or 8, that is RefEtfciPO1,

RefEtfciPO2... RefEtfciPO8. RefEtfcidx and RefEtfciPO are configured by default
HSUPA 10
ms TTI UEs: The default value of the reference pilot offset must be (RefEtfcidx1 = 4,
RefEtfciPO1 = 8) and (RefEtfcidx2 = 54, RefEtfciPO2 = 21). This feature does not take effect if the
actual settings are (RefEtfcidx1 = 4, RefEtfciPO1 = 12) and (RefEtfcidx2 = 54, RefEtfciPO2 = 25).
HSUPA 2
ms TTI UEs: The default value of the reference power offset must be (RefEtfcidx1 = 1,
RefEtfciPO1 = PO_21/15), (RefEtfcidx2 = 3, RefEtfciPO2 = PO_27/15), (RefEtfcidx3 = 10,
RefEtfciPO3 = PO_42/15), (RefEtfcidx4 = 99, RefEtfciPO4 = PO_60/15), and (RefEtfcidx5 = 112,
RefEtfciPO5 = PO_84/15). This feature does not take effect if the actual settings are (RefEtfcidx1 = 1,
RefEtfciPO1 = PO_34/15), (RefEtfcidx2 = 3, RefEtfciPO2 = PO_42/15), (RefEtfcidx3 = 10,

If
the Maximum Bit Rate (MBR) of a typical RABINDEX is lower than 300 kbit/s, high-speed little
retransmission will not occur. In this case, the HARQ PO of low-speed little retransmission should be
set to 4.
If
the MBR of a typical RABINDEX is higher than or equal to 300 kbit/s, the HARQ PO of low-speed
little retransmission should be set to 4, and the HARQ PO of high-speed little retransmission should
be set to 0. HARQ PO of large retransmission should be set to 0.
10.8.4 Performance Optimization

Performance Monitoring
The HSUPA throughput increases after this feature is enabled. The increase can be monitored by
checking the RNC counters in Table 10-1.

The RTWP of a cell may decrease after this feature is enabled. The decrease can be monitored by
checking the RNC counter VS.MeanRTWP. However, the value of VS.MeanRTWP does not change
noticeably if the RTWP decreases slightly, because VS.MeanRTWP indicates the mean RTWP over a
time period. In this case, check the NodeB counters VS.HSUPA.LoadOutput.x (x ranges from 0 to 25),
which measure the instantaneous change of the RTWP. Table 10-2 lists these counters.

After this feature is enabled, the system monitors the throughput and RTWP of cells based on
VS.HSUPA.MeanChThroughput and VS.MeanRTWP. AS.HSUPA.MeanChThroughput, which indicates
the mean throughput in a cell, increases after this feature is enabled. VS.MeanRTWP, which indicates
the mean RTWP in a cell, may decrease after this feature is enabled. When a large number of UEs are
processing services, only GBRs are provided for most UEs. In this case, this feature does not increase
throughput notably but reduces the uplink RTWP.
The system monitors whether this feature takes effect and measures the number of successful HARQ
PO reconfigurations based on the counters VS.HSUPA.HARQ.POReCfgSucc.TTI10ms and
VS.HSUPA.HARQ.POReCfgAtt.TTI10ms. VS.HSUPA.HARQ.POReCfgSucc.TTI10ms indicates the
number of successful HARQ PO reconfigurations of HSUPA 10 ms TTI UEs in a cell.
VS.HSUPA.HARQ.POReCfgAtt.TTI10ms indicates the number of HARQ PO reconfiguration attempts of
HSUPA 10 ms TTI UEs in a cell.
10.8.7 Dependencies on HSUPA Adaptive Transmission

This feature is independent of the feature HSUPA Adaptive Transmission. Enabling this feature does not
affect the gain from using HSUPA Adaptive Transmission. Deployment scenarios for this feature are
complementary to those for HSUPA Adaptive Transmission. For example, HSUPA Adaptive
Transmission takes effect for upload services but not for download services of HSUPA 10 ms TTI UEs.
This feature, however, can take effect for downloading services because only TCP and RLC ACK/NACK
are sent in the uplink. Download services have low uplink data rates. This is an appropriate deployment
scenario of this feature. Using HSUPA Adaptive Transmission requires extra CEs and therefore does not
bring considerable gains if CEs are insufficient. This feature, however, increases cell throughput by
reducing the transmit power on the DPCCH even when CEs are insufficient.
10.9 WRFD-020138 HSUPA Coverage Enhancement at UE

Power Limitation
10.9.1 When to Use HSUPA Coverage Enhancement at UE Power
Limitation
This feature is recommended if the following conditions are met:
HSUPA UEs are using a 2 ms or 10 ms TTI.
The transmit power of the UEs is limited because the cell is experiencing deep fading or the coverage
performance at the cell edge is poor.

10.9.5 Performance Optimization

Performance Monitoring
This feature provides a gain for HSUPA UEs at the cell edge. The gain is indicated by the decreased call
drop rate of HSUPA services when there are many users at the cell edge.
Parameter Optimization
Different values of the BetaEdMin parameter lead to different uplink coverage performance. The uplink
coverage performance is indicated by the call drop rate of HSUPA services. If the call drop rate does not
decrease after this feature is enabled and BetaEdMin is set to the recommended value, fine-tune the
parameter value to achieve the best result.

10.10 Outer Loop Power Control Enhancement

10.10.1 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.
10.10.2 Deployment
For details about how to activate, verify, and deactivate this feature, see 10.3 "WRFD-020503 Outer
Loop Power Control."
10.10.3 Parameter Settings

Parameters related to the enhanced feature are described as follows:
SIRtargetDownSpeed 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 introduces
higher amplitude of the SIRtarget quick decrease, but may increase the block error rate. A smaller value
of SIRtargetDownSpeed introduces lower amplitude of the SIRtarget quick decrease, but increases
only a limited amount of uplink capacity.
RefSIRtarget is the convergence value of the SIRtarget when RB establishment or reconfiguration is

complete. RefSIRTarget is set according the service rate. The difference between InitSirtarget and
RefSIRtarget is the maximum range of the SIRtarget quick decrease. Therefore, the value of
RefSIRtarget must be equal to or smaller than the value of InitSirtarget. Otherwise, the SIRtarget quick
decrease cannot be enabled. A larger value of RefSIRTarget introduces smaller amplitude of the
SIRtarget quick decrease, but increases only a limited amount of uplink capacity. A smaller value of
RefSIRTarget introduces larger amplitude of the SIRtarget quick decrease, but may increase the block
error rate.
Table 10-4 provides recommended settings of RefSIRtarget on the RNC for R99 services.

10.11 WRFD-150230 DPCH Pilot Power Adjustment

10.11.1 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.
Values of the VS.MeanTCP.NonHS counter and the MAXTXPOWER parameter

The proportion of non-HSDPA transmit power in a cell can be estimated based on the value of
(Vs.MeanTCP.NonHS MAXTXPOWER/10).
If the result is 3 dB, non-HSPPA transmit power in this cell is high.
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 10%, the proportion of UEs processing real-time services is small. 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 real-time 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 + VS.RB.AMR.DL.5.9 +

There are three methods of checking whether this feature is activated:
Method one
Check counters related to this feature. If the value of VS.DL.DPCH.OptiPilotPOAttNum is not 0, this
feature is activated.
Method two
Check signaling messages transmitted on the Uu interface. For HSDPA UEs, check the "Power offset
Pilot-DPDCH" of the "Downlink DPCH info common for all RL" IE in the RB setup message. IE is short for
information element.
If the value of "Power offset Pilot-DPDCH" is the optimized pilot power (including the value of the Non-CS
Pilot Power Offset Optimization or CS Pilot Power Offset Optimization parameter), this feature is
activated.

WCDMA RAN
Power Control
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 lightly loaded 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 10-9 provides counters and KPIs to monitor and how to calculate the mean
transmit power of each non-HSPA UE in the cell.
Table 10-9 Counters and KPIs to monitor
Counters and KPIs
Description
VS.MeanTCP.NonHS/VS.CellDC
HUEs
This counter indicates the R99 transmit power of each UE in a

cell. This counter measures the gains of this feature.
After this feature is activated, the mean transmit power of each
R99 UE in a cell decreases.
AMR Call Drop Ratio
This KPI indicates the CS call drop rate. This KPI measures the
impact of this feature. After this feature is activated, the CS call
drop rate decreases.
PS Service Drop Ratio (Cell)
This KPI indicates the PS service drop rate. This KPI measures
the impact of this feature. After this feature is activated, the PS
service drop rate decreases.
PS Service Drop Ratio (RNC)

VS.DL.DPCH.OptiPilotPOAttNum
VS.DL.DPCH.NormalPilotPOAttN
um
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 pilot-filed power offset according
to the value of the CsOptiPilotPo or NonCsOptiPilotPo
parameter. If the value of this counter is not 0, this feature takes
effect.
The activation rate of this feature can be evaluated based on:
VS.DL.DPCH.OptiPilotPOAttNum/(VS.DL.DPCH.OptiPilotPOAtt
Num + VS.DL.DPCH.NormalPilotPOAttNum)
RRC Setup Success Ratio

CS RAB Setup Success Ratio
PS RAB Setup Success Ratio
These KPIs measure the impact of this feature on the cell access
success rate.
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 These KPIs measure the impact of this feature on service
Cell
integrity.
VS.HSDPA.MeanChThroughput
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 the Mean Throughput for One HSDPA Cell KPI
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.

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 10-16.
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.

UEs numbers with and without this feature
10.11.6 Parameter Optimization

If this feature does not provide noticeable gains, you can set the LoadStateForPilotPwrAdj 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 parameter to a value with heavier load so that this feature is more difficult to
trigger, for example, DL_HEAVY_STATE or set DlDpchSf256OptiPilotBit 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.

This feature is used in cells with a large number of HSDPA UEs and high downlink non-HSPA power
consumption, such as hot spots in cities.

10-39
WCDMA RAN
Power Control

Before activating this feature, collect the following information to evaluate whether this feature is suitable
for the live network.
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/10).
If the proportion is high, downlink Non-HSPA power consumption in this cell is high.

downlink non-HSPA power consumption in this
cell decreases.
VS.CellDCHUEs
Number of UEs access a

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

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.
Cell HSDPA throughput

and single-UE 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.
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.

10.12.6 Parameter Optimization

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.

WCDMA RAN
Power Control
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.

Meaning:Constant that is used by the RNC to

Power Control calculate 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 DPCCH_Power_Offset,
however, has instantaneous interference on uplink
reception, thus affecting the uplink reception
performance. For details, see 3GPP TS 25.331.

DlHeavyState: indicates the downlink resource
severe congestion state threshold ranging from

DlOverloadState: indicates the downlink resource
extreme congestion state threshold ranging from
95% to 100%. 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 maximum DPCH 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 higher load state. In this case, the
maximum DPCH 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 maximum DPCH 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 lower load state. In this
case, the maximum DPCH 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.

Meaning:Lower throughput limit for the adaptive

configuration of traffic channel power offset
feature. When the throughput of HSUPA UEs
requiring a small number of retransmissions is
lower than this threshold, the RNC allocates the
value of "HarqPOLitRetrLRate" to the UEs. By
doing this, the DPDCH SIR is appropriate for UEs
that require a low data rate. This prevents waste of
power resources.
