Se WEMDA POWER CALUCLATION GUIDE sso ee ee TttrrName | tanarmad Ueman Khaid Khan 0020070 “Tie Releed Projet | VCONA choi Upgradation Pret WCDMA Power Calculation Guide Abstract . The abstract of this guide is related to Power calculation including Max Power of Cells and all associated common control channels in UMTS. The reason for writing this guide as it would be very helpful when you will upgrade your software version like from R14 to R15 or later, to avoid upgrade fails because the maximum transmit power of a cell is lower than the sum of the transmit power of channels in the cell. Also it will give you a better fi is shared among many channels. We have to upgrade our software version from V900R014C500 to \V900R015C00 so we have to check in the said UMTS Network that the comparision of CellMaxTxPower to Total number of downlink Channels powers before execution. This guide contains the idea behind how the calculation has been done in all our network to avoid activity failure and give good perception of Power in WCDMA. Keywor RF, Upgrade Power, Control channels, Radio, Planning, Optimization, 4. Situation There are total 1147 sites in this UMTS network and different Maximum transmit powers are set in the network. The power Seas ra Canc irrSwit Loe: Ina RY WOMDA POWER CALUCLATION calculation has to be done on every cell which requires some strategy to quickly complete task effeciently. All this mentioned in the later part of this guide how calculation done and what was the criteria. Before going in the details here is the information of all the channels which have been used in the calculation ‘+ Maximum Transmit Power of Cel) Sum of the maximum transmit power of all DL channels in a cell To fetch this information from M2000 the command is as follows « GH Tienes TX power of the P-CPICH in a cell. This parameter should be set based on the actual system environment such as cell coverage {radius) and geographical environment. For the cells to be covered, the downlink coverage must be guaranteed. For the cells eequiring soft handover area, this parameter should satisfy the proportion of soft handover areas stipulated in the network plan The value of this parameter must satisfy the following relationship: ‘Min Transmit Power of PCPICH" <= "PCPICH Transmit Power ‘Max Transmit Power of PCPICH’ To fetch this information from M2000 the command is as follows Note: The P-CPICH transmit power must be higher than the minimum, pilot power and lower than the maximum pilot power. © PICH Power Offset and AICH Power Otiset PICH Power Offset is the difference between the transmit power of PICH and that of PCPICHwe Secuty Level: Ia AICH Power Offset is the difference between the transmit power of ‘an AICH and that of PCPICH. To fetch this information from M2000 the command is as follows BCH Transmit Power This ic the Offeet of the BCH transmit power from the P-CPICH transmit power in a cell Ifthe value is cet too small, the UEs on the call edge cannot receive the system messages propery. This problem aifects the coverage of the downlink common channel and furthermore the coverage of the cell. Ifthe value is set too great, it couses interference to other channels, occupies the downlink transmit power, and affects the cell capacity, ‘o fetch this information from M2000 the commend is as follows This is the Offset of the PSCH transmit power from the P-CPICH transmit power in a cell. If the value Is excessively low, UES at the edge of cells fail In network searching, resulting in influence on. coverage of the downlink common channel. This finally affects the cell coverage. If the velue is excessively high, the power resources are wasted, and other channels are interfered seriously, thus the cell capacity is influenced To fetch this information from M2000 the command is as follows SCH Transmit Power 7 THRE oa Tat
