what is power congestion and Code Congestion ?

1. DL Powerr congestion: normally this happens when no room for DL Power


common channel available due to some possible reasons: High amount of traffic,
noise floor, inacurate CPICH power settings, too low Power Admission settings,
inaccurate attenuation of Feeder/jumper leading to lowering down the Maximum
DL Power Capability supplied by node B.
As you might know, we have 3 different allocation of power: Common channel +
DCH Traffic (75%), SHO margin (10 - 15%) and HS portion (10 - 15% or
remaining portion).
2. DL Channelization code: it's related to the fact that no Channelizaion code
that you normally derived from Code Tree alghoritme available for traffic.
The factors affecting this: setting of DL Code Admission (normally 85% for
traffic, comon chanel, SHO and 15% for HS), amount of traffic, HS DPA
parameter settings including HSUPA / EUL and Spreading Factors settings.
Identically, if a cell is having problem with DL Code insufficiency due to traffic or
usage, there have been indication that the Scrambling code serving to that
particular spot / area is used up. So you can play around with coverage control,
SHO intersection shift, adding more Scrambling Code (by means of adding more
Best server to that spot), etc...
