Why Power Control?
 All CDMA users occupy the same frequency
spectrum at the same time! Frequency and
time are not used as discriminators.
 CDMA operates by using codes to
discriminate between users.
 CDMA interference comes mainly from
nearby users
 Each user is a small voice in a roaring crowd
-- but with a uniquely recoverable code.

To achieve acceptable service quality, the transmit power of all users


must be tightly controlled so that their signals reach the base station
with the same signal strength and the absolute minimum power level
demanded to avoid the Near-Far Effect.

Open Loop Power Control

 General principals of open loop power control


 Open loop power control is applied to estimate the initial transmitted power
for a new radio link.
 P-CPICH signal is used in Downlink Open Loop Power Control, which is
measured by UE to estimate the initial transmitted power.
 The following factors will also be considered, such as service QoS and data
rate, Eb/No requirements of establishing service, current downlink total
Transmitted Power and interference from neighbor cell etc.

Close Loop – Inner Loop Power Control

 General principals of inner loop power control


 The receiver compares the SIR value of received signal with target SIR, and
then sends back TPC instruction. According to the instruction, the sender will
decide to increase/decrease the transmitted power.
 The adjusted rang=TPC_cmd×TPC_STEP_SIZE

 Inner loop power control is required for the following channels :


 DPCH, PDSCH, PCPCH

 Inner loop power control is not required for the following


channels :
 P-CPICH(S-CPICH), P-CCPCH(S-CCPCH), PRACH etc.

Close Loop – Outer Loop Power Control

 Outer Loop Power Control algorithm


 Employ the inner loop power control to keep SIR close to target SIR.
 Measure the quality of service, including target BLER, CRC indicator and SIR
Error, then set the value of SIR_Target.
 Tune the target SIR with pre-defined step as the adjustment parameter for
inner loop power control to keep the service in good quality in time-varying
wireless propagation environment.
 The uplink open loop power control algorithm is executed in the RNC while
the downlink one is executed in UE.

WCDMA General Handover Procedures
---- “Handover Trilogy”
 Measurement Control
 UTRAN demands the UE to start measurement through issuing a
measurement control message.

 Handover decision
 UTRAN makes the decision based on the measurement reports from UE. The
implementation of handover decision is various for different vendors. It
impacts on the system performance critically.

 Handover execution
 UTRAN and UE execute different handover procedure according to the
handover command .

© ZTE Corporation. All rights reserved


General Procedure of Handover Control (I)

 Measuring

The measurement objects are decided by RNC. Usually, either Ec/N0


or RSCP (Received Signal Code Power) of P-CPICH channel is used
for handover decision.
ZTE RNC adopts Ec/N0 measurement, because Ec/N0 embodies
both the received signal strength and the interference. The relation
of Ec/N0 and RSCP is shown as follows:
Ec/N0 = RSCP/RSSI
In the above equation , RSSI ( Received Signal Strength Indicato
r ) is measured within the bandwidth of associated channels

General Procedure of Handover Control (II)

 Reporting
 Period report triggered handover
 Base on the filtered measurement result

 Event report triggered handover


 Base on the event

General Procedure of Handover Control (III)

 Handover algorithm
 All the handover algorithms including soft handover, hard handover and so
on are implemented on the event decision made according to the
measurement reports.

 Events defined in 3GPP specifications


 Intra-frequency events : 1A~1F
 Inter-frequency events : 2A~2F
 Inter-RAT events : 3A~3D

Note: RAT is short for “Radio Access Technology”, e.g. WCDMA&GSM

Concepts Related to Handover

 Active Set:
 A set of cells that have established radio links with a certain mobile station.
 User information is sent from all these cells.

 Monitored Set:
 A set of cells that are not in the active set but are monitored according to the
list of adjacent cells assigned by the UTRAN.

 Detected Set:
 A set of cells that are neither in the active set nor in the monitor set.

© ZTE Corporation. All rights reserved


Soft handover process

 Measurement
 RNC sends a measurement control message to UE.
 UE should perform measurement as required and report the measurement
result.
 Generally, the measured parameter is the common pilot’s Ec/No.

 Decision
 RNC stores data of different cells according to the measurement results.
 RNC makes preliminary decision according to the event decision method.
 e.g.

When the event is reported and the target cell is acceptable, send an active set
update command to add/delete the cell into/from the active set.

 Execution
 The RNC sends an active set update command to UE and UE starts handover.

soft handover measurement.

of other frequencies.

 Load Control
 Code Resource Allocation
 RAKE Receiver

 WCDMA Capacity Features


Admission Control

 The admission control is employed to admit the access of


incoming call. Its general principal is based on the availability
and utilization of the system resources.
 If the system has enough resources such as load margin, code,
and channel element etc. the admission control will accept the
call and allocate resources to it.

© ZTE Corporation. All rights reserved


Purpose of Admission Control

 When user initiates a call , the admission control should


implement admission or rejection for this service according to
the resource situation.
 The admission control will sustain the system stability firstly and
try the best to satisfy the new calling service’s QoS request,
such as service rate, quality (SIR or BER), and delay etc. basing on
the radio measurement.
 Admission control is the only access entry for the incoming
services, its strategy will directly effect the cell capacity and
stability, e.g. call loss rate, call drop rate.

Why Code Resource Planning?

 The OVSF (Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor) code tree is a


scarce resource and only one code tree can be used in each cell.
In order to make full use of the capacity, and support as many
connections as possible, it is important to plan and control the
usage of channel code resource.
 Downlink PN code allocation should be planned to avoid the
interference between neighboring cells.
 The uplink PN codes are sufficient, but RNC should plan the
codes to use for avoiding allocating same code to different users
in inter-RNC handover scenario.

© ZTE Corporation. All rights reserved


Code Resource Planning

 The uplink and downlink scrambling code can be planned easily


by computer.
 The uplink channelized code does not need planning, for every
UE can use the whole code tree alone.
 Therefore, only the downlink channelized code is planned with
certain algorithm in RNC.
 Each cell has one primary scrambling code, which correlates with
a channel code tree. All the users under this cell share this single
code tree, so the OVSF code resource is very limited.
 The downlink channelized code tree is a typical binary tree with
each layer corresponds to a certain SF ranging from SF4 to
SF512.

OVSF Code Tree

Channelized Code Characters

 Code allocation restriction :


 The code to be allocated must fulfill the condition that its ancestor nodes
including from father node to root node and offspring nodes in the sub tree
are not allocated;

 Code allocation side effect :


 The allocated node will block its ancestor nodes and offspring nodes, thus the
blocked nodes will not be available for allocation until being unblocked .

SF=8

SF=16

SF=32

© ZTE Corporation. All rights reserved


Strategy of Channelized Code Allocation

 Full utilization
 The fewer the blocked codes, the higher code tree utilization rate.

 Low Complexity
 Short code first.

 Allocate codes for common channels and physical shared


channels prior to dedicated channels.
 Guarantee the code allocation for common physical channels.

 Apply certain optimized strategy to allocate codes for downlink


dedicated physical channels.

Optimization methods

 To overcome Cell Breathing Effect caused by increased traffic and


meet different requirements for capacity and coverage in
different environment, following solutions can be applied:

DL  DL/UL:
 transmissiondiversity (Tx Div)  Add carrier
 high power amplifier  six sectors

UL
 Tower Mounted Amplifier
(TMA) Add basestation
 4 Rx Div
“last choice”
 OTSR
