NOKIA
Admission Control
Responsible for maximising capacity (throughput) whilst providing the required
quality of service for RT traffic.
Checks that admitting a new user will not sacrifice planned coverage or quality of
existing connections
Determines whether RABs can be admitted to the RAN
Handles RT RABs alone by estimating the increase in non-controllable load
With PS decides whether to admit NRT RABs
In the decision UL interference & DL power measurements by BTS are used
Provides RLC parameters to PS for NRT users, for example
Bearer class
Transport Formats
AC sets quality and power parameters for the radio link, for example
UL/DL BLER, Eb/No targets, SIR target
Initial DL transmission power

Admission Control
In uplink the total received wideband interference power measured indicates the traffic
load of the radio resources .

For downlink the power change caused by new RT service is obtained from the
maximum allowed DL transmission power for the service.
In the admission decision procedure new call (or modified existing call) is admitted if
both UL and DL admission decisions are passed

Power Control
Since WCDMA system is interference limited it is beneficial to reduce transmission
power as far as possible.
Thus, the target of power control (PC) is to achieve the minimum signal-tointerference ratio (SIR) that is required to offer sufficient quality of the connection.
PC works on a per-connection basis.
