As can be seen the wider the signal, the lower the power
intensity is. This is why the processing gain is lower
The higher the bit rate, the more power would be needed to
meet the quality requirements
As can be seen from the processing gain calculations, for a
high bit rate service, the power needs to be increased.

Design Concepts:
Scrambling code need to be selected in optimum
way because:
It has a great impact to the cell search algorithm
The call setup/HO performance depends on the
reliability of the search procedure in the cell
search setups
There must be large enough separation between
two cells using the same scrambling code.
A recommended minimum reuse distance of 64
can be used.
Mobiles with data capability might have a higher output power (3GPP TS 25.101)

Link Budget:
Required Eb/No means that for some quality target
(BLER) a certain average bit-energy over total
noise+interference spectral density (Eb/No) is
required.
The value depends on the service and the MS
speed for which the link budget is to be
calculated.

PBTS = Σ Pi
Pi is the power given to user I at a certain time
PBTS is the maximum available power of the Node-B
How to reduce congestion?
Could reduce power allocation to all users = power limiting
bad for quality for many users
not recommended
Better approach: block at certain power threshold (before
power limiting)
