Basic concepts
 Active Set:
 The set of cells connected with UE;
 User information is transmitted from these cells.
 Monitor Set:
Have configured neighbor cell relation with the
cell in active set ;Signal is not strong enough to
enter AS or AS already full Detect Set:
 Detected Set: A set of cells that are neither in the
active set nor in the monitor set
Signal is weak; Monitor set is full; Cell has not
configured neighbor cell relation with the cell in
active set.
Handover process
 Measurement control
 Measured object （ Neighbor cell list ）

 Measured quantity （ RSCP/Ec/Io etc ）

 Measurement report method

Event report
Periodical report
 Decision
 The RNC stores data of different cells according to the measurem
ent results.
 The RNC makes preliminary decision according to the event decisi
on 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 star
ts handover.
Soft handover event

Event Description

Quality of target cell improves, entering a report range

1D Best cell generates change

Quality of target cell improves, better than an absolute
1E

Quality of target cell decreases, worse than an absolute
1F
threshold

When cell selection, UE will select the cell with the highest S value.
Measurement rules for cell-reselection
1. Sx > Sintrasearch ， UE do not perform intra-frequency measurements.
Sx <= Sintrasearch ， UE perform intra-frequency measurement.
Sintrasearch is not sent for serving cell ， Perform intra-frequency
measurement.

2. Sx > Sintersearch ， UE do not perform inter-frequency measurements

Sx <= Sintersearch ， UE perform inter-frequency measurements
Sintersearch is not sent for serving cell ， Perform inter-frequency

3. Sx > SsearchRATm ， UE do not perform measurements on cells of RAT “m”

Sx <= SsearchRATm ， Perform measurements on cells of RAT “m”
SsearchRATm is not sent for serving cell ， Perform measurements on cells of

Open Loop Power Control

 General principals of open loop power control

 Open loop power control is applied to estimate the initial transmitt
ed power for a new radio link.
 P-CPICH signal is used in Downlink Open Loop Power Control, whi
ch 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 d
ownlink total Transmitted Power and interference from neighbor cell
etc.
Uplink Open Loop Power Control - PRACH
 Purpose: Estimate the initial transmit power of physical channels such
as PRACH, DPCCH and DPDCH, and mainly refers to determining th
e PRACH transmit power.

 PRACH Initial Transmit Power:

 Preamble_Initial_Power = Primary CPICH DL TX power – CPICH_RS
CP +UL interference + Constant Value
 - Primary CPICH DL TX power: transmit power of P-CPICH which is br
oadcasted in System information
 - CPICH_RSCP: the channel code power of CPICH measured by UE.
 - UL interference: uplink interference, which is measured by NodeB an
d updated in real time in SIB7.
 - Constant Value (ConstVal): related with the cell environment and the
service rate on PRACH, broadcasted system information
 If Preamble_Initial_Power > MaxRACHTxPwr, Preamble_Initial_Power
= MaxRACHTxPwr.
Uplink Open Loop Power Control - PRACH
 If no response (+1 or -1) of AICH is received after the first PRACH pre
amble composed, UE selects a new signature in the next timeslot.
 Increases the preamble transmit power by Power Ramp Step (PRStep
).
 The transmit power of the control part of PRACH message is:
 PRACH_C_Power = Preamble_Initial_Power+sum(PowerRampStep)
+Pp-m
 Pp-m(POPpm): power offset between the control channel and the

last PRACH preamble which is related to the PRACH message TF

C.
Uplink Open Loop Power Control - DPCCH
 Uplink DPCH Open Loop Power Control mainly determine the i
nitial transmit power of DPCCH, and the gain factor c and d
of the uplink DPCCH and DPDCH.
 DPCCH_Initial_power = DPCCH_Power_offset - CPICH_RSC
P
 DPCCH_Power_offset = Eb/N0 + (NT+IT) – PG + CPICH_TX_
Power
 Eb/No: quality factor of the DPCCH PILOT domain (

DpcchPilotEbN0).
 NT+IT: uplink interference, measured by NodeB updated in

SIB7.
 PG: Processing Gain, which equals to the DPCCH Spreadi

ng Factor 256.
 c and d are set fixed value according to the TFC.
Downlink Open Loop Power Control –
Common Physical Channels
 Downlink common physical channels transmit power and parameters:

Close Loop – Inner Loop Power Control

 General principals of inner loop power control

 The receiver compares the SIR value of received signal with t
arget 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 channe
ls ：
 DPCH, PDSCH, PCPCH

Uplink Inner Loop Power Control
 The specification 25.214 defines two uplink inner loop power c
ontrol method which is configured by parameter UlIlPcAlg in O
MCR.
 Algorithm 1: the UE transmit power can be adjusted every ti

meslot, and transmit power can be increased or decreased.

 Algorithm 2: UE transmit power is adjusted every five

timeslots, and transmit power can be increased, decreased

or not changed.
 Current Parameters Configuration:
 Algorithm 1 tracks the fluctuating of channel better than Alg

orithm 2.
 According to the network deployment now (Feb, 2009), ther

e is no continuous coverage (no macro-diversity gain) and

only one carrier (no load balancing), Algorithm 1 is recomm
ended.
Downlink Inner Loop Power Control
 Two downlink inner loop power control method can be configur
ed by parameter DPCMode in OMCR:
 Mode 1: UE sends a TPC command at each timeslot. The

UTRAN adjusts the transmit power at each timeslot accordi

ng to the TPC command.
 Mode 2: UE sends the same TPC command for three times

lots. The UTRAN adjusts the transmit power once every thr
ee timeslots according to the TPC command.
 The step to adjust the downlink transmit power is configured by
parameter TpcDlStep.
 Current Parameters Configuration:
 Mode 1 tracks the fluctuating of channel better than Mode 2.

 According to the network deployment now (Feb, 2009), ther

e is no continuous coverage (no macro-diversity gain) and

only one carrier (no load balancing), Mode1 is recommend
ed.
Downlink Inner Loop Power Control
 UTRAN adjusts the current downlink power P(k-1) to the new tr
ansmit power P(k) according to the following formula:

 P(k) = P(k - 1) + PTPC(k) + Pbal(k)

 PTPC(k): the kth power adjustment value;

 Pbal(k): correction value to balance the power of radio links.
