Configuring HSUPA Power Control

This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature WRFD01061203 HSUPA Power Control. Prerequisites

Dependencies on Hardware o This feature does not depend on the hardware. Dependencies on Other Features o The features WRFD-010612 HSUPA Introduction Package and WRFD-020504 Inner Loop Power Control must be configured before this feature is activated. License o The license controlling this feature has been activated.

Context This feature increases the system power efficiency, reduces the uplink and downlink interference, and improves the system capacity by controlling the power on HSUPA physical channels. Procedure

Activation Procedure 1. Run the NodeB MML command SET MACEPARA. In this step, set E-AGCH HPC Parameters, E-RGCH HPC Parameters for Service Radio Links Set, and E-HICH HPC Parameters for Service Radio Links Set to YES. 2. Run the NodeB MML command SET MACEPARA. In this step, set E-AGCH HPC Mode, E-RGCH HPC Mode for Service Radio Links Set, and E-HICH HPC Mode for Service Radio Links Set to FOLLOW_TPC. 3. Run the NodeB MML command SET MACEPARA. In this step, set E-AGCH Power Offset(0.25dB), E-RGCH Power Offset for Service Radio Links Set(0.25dB), E-HICH Power Offset for Service Radio Links Set(0.25dB), and E-HICH Power Offset for Single Radio Link(0.25dB) to appropriate values according to the network plan. 4. Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD UTYPRABHSUPAPC to modify power control parameters related to HSUPA services. In this step, set E-RGCH 2-Index-Step Threshold to 9 and E-RGCH 3-Index-Step Threshold to 12. 5. Run the BSC6900 MML command MOD UTYPRABOLPC. In this step, change the number of target retransmissions for large and small retransmissions related to HSUPA services according to the network plan. Verification Procedure 1. On the BSC6900 LMT, open the Monitor page. Then, double-click Connection Performance Monitoring under UMTS Monitoring. In the displayed dialog box, select OLPC and specify the IMSI.

2. Use an HSUPA-capable UE to set up a PS service over the enhanced DCH (EDCH). 3. Move the UE between the cell center and the cell edge. 4. View the monitor items related to the number of E-DCH retransmissions in the OLPC area. The values of the monitor items change with UE movement. 5. View the power change on each HSUPA channel. If static power control is used, the channel power remains unchanged. If dynamic power control is used: When the UE is moving away from the antenna, the transmit power of the E-AGCH increases. When the UE is moving towards the antenna, the transmit power of the E-AGCH decreases. Deactivation Procedure 1. This feature does not need to be deactivated.
