Common Terms
• Bit, symbol and chip
- Bit (bps): the data that is obtained upon source coding and contains
information.
- Symbol (sps): the data obtained upon channel coding and interleaving.
- Chip (cps): the data obtained upon final spreading.
• The spreading rate of WCDMA is: 3.84 Mcps
• Processing gain
- It refers to the ratio of the final spreading rate to the bit rate (cps/bps).
- In the WCDMA system, the processing gain depends on the specific service.
Spreading Factor and Service Rate
• Chip rate = symbol rate spreading factor
• For WCDMA, if the chip rate is 3.84 MHz and the spreading factor is 4, the symbol rate is 960 Kbps.
Symbol rate = (service rate + check code) × channel code ×repetition or punching rate
• For WCDMA, if the service rate is 384 Kbps and the channel code is 1/3 Turbo, the symbol rate is 960 Kbps.

Where:
When a UE wants to select a UMTS cell, the cell must satisfy S criterion.
If SsearchRAT m, is not sent for serving cell, perform measurements on cells of RAT "m".
Rs = Q meas ,s + Qhysts
Rn = Q meas ,n - Qoffsets,n
In all cases, the UE shall reselect the new cell, only if the following conditions are met:
- the new cell is better ranked than the serving cell during a time interval Treselection.
- more than 1 second has elapsed since the UE camped on the current serving cell.

satisfied during the trigger time, the event will be
triggered).
Event 2d: The estimated quality of the currently used frequency is below a certain threshold.
QUsed TUsed 2 d H 2 d / 2
• The variables in the formula are defined as follows:
- QUsed is the quality estimate of the used frequency.
- TUsed 2d is the absolute threshold that applies for the used frequency and event 2d.
- H2d is the hysteresis parameter for the event 2d.
Event 2f: The estimated quality of the currently used frequency is above a certain threshold.
QUsed TUsed 2 f H 2 f / 2
• The variables in the formula are defined as follows:
- QUsed is the quality estimate of the used frequency.
- TUsed 2f is the absolute threshold that applies for the used frequency and event 2f.
- H2f is the hysteresis parameter for the event 2f.
3) When received the periodical reports, RNC use the following formula to judge whether should handover UE
to another system .
If the formula is met, a trigger-timer called TimeToTrigForSysHo will be started, and a handover decision will be made when the
timer times out;
Note: if the inter-system quality satisfies the following condition before the timer times out:
Mother_RAT + CIO < Tother_RAT - H/2
The timer will be stopped, and RNC will go on waiting to receive the next inter-system measurement report.
The length of the trigger-timer is called time-to-trigger.

Open Loop Power Control Parameters
Outer loop control is used to setting SirTarget (Signal to Interference Ratio Target) for inner loop power control. It is divided into uplink outer loop
power control and downlink outer loop power control.
The uplink outer loop power control is controlled by SRNC (serving RNC) for setting a target SIR for each UE. This target SIR is updated according
to the estimated uplink quality (Block Error Ratio/ Bit Error Ratio).
If UE is not in DTX (Discontinuous Transmission)status (that means RNC can receive uplink traffic data),
RNC will use Bler (Block Error Ratio) to compute SirTarget . Otherwise, RNC will use Ber (Bit Error Ratio) to compute SirTarget.
The downlink outer loop power control is controlled by the UE receiver to converge to required link quality (BLER) set by the network (RNC) in
downlink.
• UTRAN behaviour
The serving cells (cells in the active set) should estimate signal-to-interference ratio SIRest of the received uplink DPCH. The
serving cells should then generate TPC commands and transmit the commands once per slot according to the following rule: if
SIRest > SIRtarget then the TPC command to transmit is "0", while if SIRest < SIRtarget then the TPC command to transmit is
"1".
• UE behaviour
Upon reception of one or more TPC commands in a slot, the UE shall derive a single TPC command, TPC_cmd, for each slot,
combining multiple TPC commands if more than one is received in a slot. Two algorithms shall be supported by the UE for
deriving a TPC_cmd. Which of these two algorithms is used is determined by a UE-specific higher-layer parameter,
"PowerControlAlgorithm", and is under the control of the UTRAN. If "PowerControlAlgorithm" indicates "algorithm1", then the
layer 1 parameter PCA shall take the value 1 and if "PowerControlAlgorithm" indicates "algorithm2" then PCA shall take the
value 2.
• The step size DTPC is a layer 1 parameter which is derived from the UE-specific higher-layer parameter
"TPC-StepSize" which is under the control of the UTRAN. If "TPC-StepSize" has the value "dB1", then the
layer 1 parameter DTPC shall take the value 1 dB and if "TPC-StepSize" has the value "dB2", then DTPC
shall take the value 2 dB. The parameter "TPC-StepSize" only applies to Algorithm 1 . For Algorithm 2 DTPC
shall always take the value 1 dB.
• After deriving of the combined TPC command TPC_cmd using one of the two supported algorithms, the UE
shall adjust the transmit power of the uplink DPCCH with a step of DDPCCH (in dB) which is given by:
• UE behaviour
The UE shall generate TPC commands to control the network transmit power and send them in the TPC field of the
uplink DPCCH. The UE shall check the downlink power control mode (DPC_MODE) before generating the
TPC command:
If DPC_MODE = 0 : the UE sends a unique TPC command in each slot and the TPC command generated is transmitted in the first
available TPC field in the uplink DPCCH;
If DPC_MODE = 1 : the UE repeats the same TPC command over 3 slots and the new TPC command is transmitted such that there is
a new command at the beginning of the frame.
The DPC_MODE parameter is a UE specific parameter controlled by the UTRAN.
• UTRAN behaviour
Upon receiving the TPC commands UTRAN shall adjust its downlink DPCCH/DPDCH power accordingly. For DPC_MODE = 0, UTRAN
shall estimate the transmitted TPC command TPCest to be 0 or 1, and shall update the power every slot. If DPC_MODE = 1, UTRAN
shall estimate the transmitted TPC command TPCest over three slots to be 0 or 1, and shall update the power every three slots.
