The decision about when GSM measurements are performed is made using the sRatSearch
parameter in relation to Squal and the sHcsRat parameter in relation to Srxlev:
If the Squal > sRatSearch and the Srxlev > sHcsRat, the UE does not need to perform measurements on
GSM cells.
If the Squal <= sRatSearch value and/or the Srxlev <= sHcsRat value, the UE performs measurements on
GSM cells.

Cell re-selection
to GSM
If a TDD or GSM cell is ranked as the best cell, then the UE must
perform cell re-selection to that TDD or GSM cell.
If a FDD cell is ranked as the best cell and
cell_selection_and_reselection-quality_measure is set to CPICH
RSCP, the UE shall perform cell re-selection to that FDD cell.
If a FDD cell is ranked as the best cell and
cell_selection_and_reselection-quality_measure is set to CPICH
Ec/No, the UE shall perform a second ranking of the FDD cells
according to the R criteria using the measurement quantity CPICH

As soon as the RBS properly detects the preamble, it sends an Acknowledgement Indicator
(AI) on the AICH.
While not receiving any AI, the UE transmits a new preamble, increasing the transmission
power with respect to the previous one by the configurable parameter powerOffsetP0.(3dB)
As soon as the UE receives an AI, it sends the PRACH message part. The power of the
control part of the random access message is determined by the power of the last
transmitted preamble and by a configurable offset powerOffsetPpm.(- 4dB) The power of
the data part of the PRACH message is determined by the gain factors for PRACH, which is
included in System Information.
In average coverage conditions the RRC Connection Setup performance can be improved by tuning the

(Time to Trigger 1a), event 1a occurs. The UE sends a MEASUREMENT REPORT message for event 1a to
the SRNC. If the report contains more than one cell fulfilling 1a criteria, only the one with highest Ec/No is
considered and retained. If the retained cell is a valid cell and Active Set is not full (present cells in the

the Active Set is full, the cell is proposed as a replacement of the worst cell in the Active Set provided that the

Capacity Management
Capacity Management
The Capacity Management solution consists of three main functions:
1. Dedicated Monitored Resource Handling
The Dedicated Monitored Resource Handling function is responsible for keeping
track of the utilization of critical resources in the system. The utilization of these
resources provides information that is used by Admission and Congestion Control
functions to control the cell load.
2. Admission Control
The Admission Control function is responsible for controlling the utilization of
dedicated monitored resources by accepting or refusing requests for usage of
these resources.
3. Congestion Control
The Congestion Control function is responsible for detecting and resolving overload
situations on certain dedicated monitored resources.

MAXHSRATE
The HSDPA Iub flow control algorithm adjusts the available bit rate over Iub based mainly on the
maximum possible air interface bitrate received from the scheduler, the number of users in a cell
and Iub congestion indications. The RBS uses the parameter maxHsRate to determine the
maximum bit rate to be used for HS-DSCH data frame traffic in one aggregated bit pipe over Iub.
The parameter maxHsRate should be configured for each RBS to represent the maximum MAC-d
PDU bitrate of HS-DSCH data frames, which is available for the AAL2 path or paths carrying
HSDPA traffic to the RBS in question. The parameter may be set to a MAC-d PDU bit rate of 1.5
Mbps (the default value), when one dedicated physical E1 link is used for HSDPA traffic. This
maximum bitrate level is the same as the bitrate expressed by the CAPACITY ALLOCATION
control frames.
As an example, the default value of this parameter has been obtained by multiplying the HSDPA
available ATM bandwidth (excluding IMA overhead), e.g. 1.92 Mbps, with a factor of 0.79. This
factor is dependent on the average number of MAC-d PDUs per HS-DSCH data frame. In this
case, it is based on having 10 MAC-d PDUs (336 bits) per HS-DSCH data frame in average. It
should be noted that assuming a lower number of PDUs per data frame gives a lower factor and
vice versa.
The parameter value of maxHsRate also depends on how the transport network is configured, e.g.
if ATM VC Cross Connect is used or if AAL2 switching is used. It depends on how the ATM VCs
etc are configured, e.g. for HS traffic only, sharing with AAL2 class A and B, several AAL2 paths
for HS etc. Therefore it is recommended to follow the guidelines given by Ericsson regarding
transport network dimensioning before setting a value for this parameter.
16QAM Modulation
The RBS hardware supports both QPSK and 16QAM modulation. However, support of 16QAM is
an optional feature which can be configured on cell level using the parameter supportOf16qam.
The available modulation type impacts the maximum achievable bit rate in the cell,
