Channelization codes
– Separates different channels that are transmitted on the same
scrambling code
– Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) codes
– Period depends on data rate

In the Uplink, Channelization Codes are used to distinguish between data (and
control) channels from the same UE

Goal : Ensure sufficient received energy per information bit for all
communication links
Strategy :
Power control on COMMON CHANNELS ensures there is sufficient coverage
to establish connections and transfer date on common transport channels
Power control on DEDICATED CHANNELS (DCH) ensures sufficient
connection quality while minimizing impact on other connections.

Downlink Power control for both RBSs is based on one signal (TPC bits) from the UE (it does
not distinguish between RBSs and the decision is base on the combined output from the
RAKE receiver

Cell breathing
The more traffic, the more interference and the shorter the distance must be
between the RBS and the UE
The traffic load changes in the system causes the cells to grow and shrink with time
