Uplink noise (also known as system noise) is the sum of all stationary noise, not just thermal noise. It is very
important that the uplink noise is estimated accurately, as it has a direct effect on the capacity of the cell in
question. Uplink noise can either be set to a fixed value at the radio network planning stage, or allowed to
fluctuate according to the current conditions, with the help of an autotuning algorithm. The autotuning
algorithm of Uplink noise level (PrxNoise) can be switched on or off on a cell-by-cell basis using the
management parameter PrxNoise autotuning allowed (prxnoiseautotuning).
Naturally, the uplink noise level can only be measured when the cell is unloaded, or under a very low load.
Therefore, the updating of uplink noise is dependent onPrxUnloaded measurements. When the cell is
unloaded, PrxTotal is the same as PrxUnloaded. The cell is considered to be unloaded when the following
conditions controlled with a PRFILE parameter are met:
Variable
Description
LRT
uplink load factor for own cell RT-users (admission control estimates)
LNRT
uplink load factor for own cell NRT-users (packet scheduler estimates)
Table 49:
When the conditions of the PrxNoise adjustment have been triggered, the BTS-specific load control delays the
initiation of the function. The length of the delay is equal to:
the value of the RRIndPeriod management parameter in the NB/RSxxx cell - applies only to IPA-RNC
and mcRNC products
In STEP3, adjustment UP is performed if PrxRef(n) exceeds PrxNoise by the amount defined by Threshold for
upward adjustment of system noise (PrxNoiseOffsetUp), and adjustment DOWN is performed
if PrxRef(n) is less than PrxNoise by the amount defined by Threshold for downward adjustment of system
noise (PrxNoiseOffsetDown).
The algorithm presented below uses the following values:

Table 50:
If the value of the management parameter(PrxNoiseMaxTuneAbsolute) is modified online, then the value of
the autotuned noise power NRref is set to the following value:
NRref := MIN[MAX(NRef, PrxNoise - PrxNoiseMaxTuneAbsolute), PrxNoise + PrxNoiseMaxTuneAbsolute]
The value of the management parameter PrxNoiseMaxTuneAbsolute is configured by the operator at the cell
level, and is read from the WAC object identified with the management parameter WACSetIdentifier.

Consider that the PrxNoise autotuning algorithm is activated with the parameter prxnoiseautotuning and
that NRref is the current value of the adjusted PrxNoise. If the adjustment of PrxNoise is not allowed because
the cell is in the traffic load, and the RTWP value measured and reported by the BTS (as described in Load
control filters out short-term spikes of measured received wideband interference power) is smaller than
the NRref value, the BTS-specific LC sets NRref to the new value:
NRref = MAX (RTWP, PrxNoise)
PrxNoise is the value of the PrxNoise management parameter.
