Increase Tx Efficiency

Analog to Digital Converter

Performed in UE

PS no need source coding. Why?

Make Tx More Reliable by put more

redundant bits

Use for overcoming Interference/Fading

Use Interleaving for serious fading

We use it regarding to their QoS

Channel Coding Type:

For CS Service use convolution code (1/2, 1/3)

For PS Service use Turbo code (1/3)

Add Interleaving

Code Sent as

Convolutional Code 1/2 1234 11 22 33 44

Convolutional Code 1/3 1234 111 222 333 444

Interleaving 1234 123 124 134 234

Increase the Capability to Overcome

Interference

Processing Gain (PG)

Different service, different PG

PG low = UE Tx Power high

PG low = Coverage is much more smaller

That’s why PG is referred as SF

Make Tx more secure!

Digital to radio signal converter

λ is wave-length

Wave-length affecting antenna dimension

The more high freq (f), antenna dimension will

be smaller

Too

Louder Plz!

Still

Weak!!

Good!

Louder Plz!

Tx power cannot be set to be as high as possible. It will waste the power and Will cause extra interference to other users.

In WCDMA system, Each user is an interference source to other users. So, each user’s Tx power should be minimized.

So, the main purpose of Power Control is to adjust users Tx power to be just enough (adaptive following radio propagation environment)

Quality (BLER) is to be satisfied.

Interference is to be minimized;

UTRAN doesn’t know anything about UE but

CORE knows LAC/RAC of UE

No RRC Connection

Still receive Paging (PCH)

Process

PLMN Selection Reselection

Cell Selection Reselection

Location Area registration

Cell_DCH (200 mA – 300 mA) RRC Connection active

UTRAN allocated Dedicated Channel

Use on CS PS service with High data Rate (Traffic volume is high)

Paging only sent to this cell

Cell_FACH (100 mA – 150 mA) RRC Connection active

UTRAN allocated Common Channel

Use for signalling with PS service (Low data Rate, Traffic volume is not too high)

Cell_PCH

RRC Connection active

UE connected but no data transmit

UE only monitor PICH

URA_PCH URA = UTRAN Registration Area

Change state from Cell_PCH to Cell_FACH (cell update) that happens too fast

URA defined from several different of NodeBs.

There is a threshold timer to decide the state changes from Cell_PCH to Cell_FACH (if cell_PCH happens for x time, then change to URA_PCH)

Why have to change to URA_PCH? because too many changes from Cell_PCH to Cell _FACH are not good for system capacity

RAB Release will trigger Iu Release

Database 2G-3G Consistecy Check

Cross check 2G CFGMML with External 2G on 3G

CFGMML (parameter check on 2G: MCC, MNC,

LACCI, NCC, BCC, BCCH, RAC)

Old database still not yet erased

Failure on 2G due to cell unavailable/Alarm

Cross check IRATHO NCell

Failure on 2G due to congestion

Cross check IRATHO NCell

Optimizing Neighbor based on scenario given

Blind HO setting

Check availability/alarm on surroundings

Do scanning (via drive test)

Locate pollutant area

Do Neighbor list verification

Remove nbr that is not measured but in Nbr list

Add missing neighbor

Check pollutant, whether it’s from

overshooting site or site nearby

Check and Adjust physical configuration

Check and Adjust CPICH Power

TP use for checking overshoot sites

1 unit TP equals to 234m in distance

RTWP can be caused by bad weather, feeder

broken, port feeder broken, or traffic

fluctuation (load).

Do daily for weekly result

Steps for choosing WPC candidate:

Look KPI degradation in RNC Daily/BH Level

Get the highest failure cause in RNC daily/BH

Level

Get failure cause counter per cell daily/BH Level

Select Rate below threshold

Sort Failure number in descending (Higest to Lowest)

Do weighting process to choose the cell with high

attempt and bad rate [weighting = (rate*fail number)]
