Amount of Signaling (II)

n Example following PMN0 default values:
n DL: CPICH power amount
10% of total Node B Tx power
33dBm in following example of 43dBm Node B
n DL: physical signaling channels taken into account for the air
interface dimensioning:
P-CCPCH, S-CCPCH, P-SCH, S-SCH
n DL signaling on demand:
AICH (acquisition indication with regard to RACH)
PICH (paging indication)

n UL signaling:
PRACH (random access channel),
PCPCH (common packet channel)

Amount of Signaling (III)

n Offset for other signaling channels (source: RNC
Database)
P-CCPCH (primary common control physical channel)
carrying broadcast channel (BCH, transport channel)
time multiplexed with synchronization channel (P-SCH, S-SCH,
physical channels)
P_CPICH - 3dB

S-CCPCH (secondary common control physical channel)

each cell is configured to have at least one
carrying multiplexed or separate paging channel and forward
access channel (PCH/FACH, transport channels)
P_CPICH - 3dB

n Sum of 33dBm plus CCPCH and SCH gives 36dBm

which is 20% of the total available Node B Tx power

n PMN0 default: 3.0/3.5dB with/without TMA
n Noise figure of a serial connection of linear 2-ports
Dominated by first element, if it provides a large gain
(Reference: e.g. Meinke/Gundlach Pocketbook of HF Technology, in German)

Handover Gain
n PMN0 default values:
Soft+Hard: Micro Cell: 6.1dB, Macro Cell 5.0dB
Hard:

Micro Cell: 3.6dB, Macro Cell: 2.5dB

n Reduction of required log-normal fading margin

slow fading only partly correlated between different Node B
n Leads to reduction of required Eb/No
n Hard handover gain
Possibility to select one out of a set of different Node B as
active link
n Soft handover gain
Gain of having more than one active link at a time
