2 Overview
Overview
2.1 Introduction
This feature decreases the P-CPICH transmit power for cells with high downlink non-HSPA
power consumption, therefore saving downlink non-HSPA power and increasing downlink cell
capacity.
2.2 Benefits
This feature reduces downlink non-HSPA power consumption by 10% to 15% for cells that
serve a large number of UEs and that have high downlink non-HSPA power consumption. The
reduction in power consumption means an additional 10% to 15% UEs can camp on the cells.
2.3 Architecture
This feature periodically checks the downlink non-HSPA power consumption of a cell. When
the power consumption reaches the preset upper limit, this feature reduces the P-CPICH transmit
power incrementally until the consumption falls into the normal range. When the power
consumption reaches the preset lower limit, this feature increases the P-CPICH transmit power
incrementally until the power consumption reaches the normal range.
When reducing the P-CPICH transmit power for a cell, this feature does not adjust the maximum
DPCH transmit power for UEs that have ongoing services in the cell. This is to ensure that these
UEs' radio links are stable.
When increasing the P-CPICH transmit power for a cell, this feature does not adjust the minimum
DPCH transmit power for UEs that have ongoing services in the cell. This is to ensure that the
DPCH power consumption in the cell does not increase.
Reducing the P-CPICH transmit power causes the cell coverage to shrink and the call drop rate
of cell edge UEs to increase.

3 Technical Description
Technical Description
This feature dynamically adjusts the P-CPICH transmit power based on downlink non-HSPA
load in a cell to reduce downlink non-HSPA load for this cell. After the power adjustment, the
maximum and minimum transmit powers of the DPCH carrying online UEs are also changed.
To minimize the impact of power adjustment on online UEs, this feature provides compensation
for the maximum and minimum DPCH transmit power during the power adjustment procedure.
When DLLOAD_BASED_PCPICH_PWR_ADJ_SWITCH under the NBMLdcAlgoSwitch
parameter is selected, the Load Based Dynamic Adjustment of PCPICH feature is activated. The
RNC periodically checks the downlink non-HSPA power load in the current cell and adjusts the
P-CPICH transmit power.
Figure 3-1 shows the flowchart of the Load Based Dynamic Adjustment of PCPICH algorithm.
Issue 01 (2013-04-28)

WCDMA RAN
Figure 3-1 Flowchart of the Load Based Dynamic Adjustment of PCPICH algorithm
The RNC checks the downlink non-HSPA load in the current cell at an interval specified by the
IntraFreqLdbPeriodTimerLen parameter. Then the RNC adjusts the P-CPICH transmit power
for this cell.
l
If downlink non-HSPA load in the current cell is equal to or larger than the value specified
in the PcpichPwrDownDlLoadState parameter, this cell is heavily loaded. In this situation,
the P-CPICH transmit power is reduced by the step PCPICHPowerPace so that cell-edge
UEs can be handed over to neighboring cells with lighter load. This reduces downlink power
load and increases downlink capacity of the current cell.
The minimum transmit power of the P-CPICH MinPCPICHPower is the lower limit for
power adjustment. That is, the P-CPICH transmit power will not be reduced after reaching
this limit. The maximum power reduction is the difference between the PCPICHPower
and MinPCPICHPower parameters. The PCPICHPower parameter specifies the PCPICH transmit power.
If downlink non-HSPA load in the current cell is smaller than the value specified in the
PcpichPwrUpDlLoadState parameter, this cell is lightly loaded. In this situation, additional
services can be processed in this cell and the P-CPICH transmit power can be increased by
the setp PCPICHPowerPace parameter. This extends the cell coverage to accommodate
cell-edge UEs from neighboring cells, therefore reducing the load of the neighboring cells.
The maximum transmit power of the P-CPICH MaxPCPICHPower is the upper limit for
power adjustment. That is, the P-CPICH transmit power will not be increased after reaching
this limit. The maximum power increase is the difference between the
MaxPCPICHPower and PCPICHPower parameters. The PCPICHPower parameter
specifies the P-CPICH transmit power.
Issue 01 (2013-04-28)

WCDMA RAN
To minimize the impact of power adjustment on online UEs, this feature provides compensation
for the maximum and minimum DPCH transmit power during the power adjustment procedure.
l
If the adjusted P-CPICH transmit power is lower than the value of the PCPICHPower
parameter, the maximum transmit power of the DPCH carrying online UEs remains the
same as the power before the power adjustment to ensure link stability for online UEs.
If the adjusted P-CPICH transmit power is higher than the value of the PCPICHPower
parameter, the minimum transmit power of the DPCH carrying online UEs remains the
same as the power before the power adjustment to reduce non-HSPA power consumption.
NOTE
The minimum and maximum transmit powers for DPCH before the power adjustment are respectively the
sum of the PCPICHPower and RlMinDlPwr parameters, and the sum of the PCPICHPower and
RlMaxDlPwr parameters. For details about the RlMinDlPwr and RlMaxDlPwr parameters, see Power
Control Feature Parameter Description.

5 Network Impact
Network Impact
System Capacity
This feature reduces the P-CPICH transmit power when downlink non-HSPA load in a cell is
heavy. This reduces power consumption of common channels and cell coverage. In this situation,
cell-edge UEs are handed over to neighboring cells, which reduces downlink non-HSPA load.
When HSDPA services are suppressed or rejected because of insufficient power, this feature
increases downlink capacity of the current cell.
NOTE
After pilot is adjusted, some HSDPA terminals cannot converge to the target BLER so as to affect power
efficient and cell throughput. It's recommended to turn CQI Adjustment Based on Dynamic BLER Target.
For details of CQI Adjustment Based on Dynamic BLER Target, see HSDPA Feature Parameter
Description.
For example, the value for PCPICHPower is 10% of the value for MaxTxPower and the
maximum P-CPICH power reduction is 3 dB. If downlink non-HSPA load in a cell is extremely
high and the number of UEs in this cell is large, this feature saves 10% to 15% of downlink nonHSPA cell power. The saved power can admit 10% to 15% extra UEs or increase at least 5% of
the average cell throughput.
The P-CPICH transmit power can be higher than the value for PCPICHPower. In this case, cell
coverage will increase but the available HSDPA power will decrease. This reduces average
HSDPA throughput if there are data transmission requirements.
Network Performance
This feature reduces the P-CPICH transmit power when downlink non-HSPA load in a cell is
heavy. As result, downlink non-HSPA cell load is reduced. When downlink power resources
are congested, this feature increases the access success rate during busy hours.
However, after the reduction of P-CPICH transmit power, cell coverage shrinks, leading to
coverage holes. Coverage holes cause the access success rate and the call drop rate for cell-edge
UEs to deteriorate. This increases the number of handovers. In multi-carrier scenarios, cells that
have the same coverage now may have different coverage. This affects the camping policy and
increases the blind-handover failure probability (Blind handovers here include blind-handoverbased DRD and LDR inter-frequency handovers). Ultimately, the performance of service
steering will be affected.
Issue 01 (2013-04-28)

WCDMA RAN
5 Network Impact
The impact on network performance is determined by the actual cell coverage and the
distribution of cell-edge UEs.
l
If cell coverage is good and the number of cell-edge UEs is small, handovers and the call
drop rate will decrease.
If cell coverage is bad and the number of cell-edge UEs is large, handovers and the call
drop rate will increase.
After the power adjustment, if more cells that have the same coverage now have different
coverage, the probability of blind-handover failures will increase.

6 Engineering Guidelines
Engineering Guidelines
6.1 When to Use

Deploy this feature in the following scenarios:
l
Multiple carriers are used in urban areas.
One carrier serves a large number of UEs and there is a higher possibility of downlink nonHSPA power resource congestion.
To avoid the impact on call drop rate, you are recommended when one carrier of the GSM or
UMTS network provides continuous coverage for the current area in a multi-carrier scenario. In
a multi-carrier scenario, you are not advised to activate this feature for the carrier that provides
continuous coverage because this feature reduces coverage. You can, however, activate this
feature for other carriers in the multi-carrier scenario. It is recommended that carriers enabled
with this feature be configured with the coverage-based handover function so that UEs can be
handed over to carriers providing continuous coverage.
You are not advised to activate this feature if the P-CPICH transmit power configured for a cell
is low.
6.2 Required Information

Collect information about the following before activating this feature:
l
Continuous coverage
Before activating this feature, ensure that one or multiple carriers are providing continuous
coverage to the current area. This is to identify coverage holes, which may cause a higher
call drop rate and a lower handover success rate.
Network coverage
Obtain the coverage of the carriers that are to be enabled with this feature. If coverage holes
are likely to occur as a result of reduced cell coverage when the P-CPICH transmit power
is within the adjustment scope, you must estimate the impact of coverage holes on network
performance before you decide whether to activate this feature. (If the value of the KPI
Soft Handover Overhead is higher than 30%, cell coverage is good.)
Issue 01 (2013-04-28)

WCDMA RAN
P-CPICH power in a cell

Obtain the P-CPICH power configured for the current cell before activating this feature. If
the configured P-CPICH power is low (for example, the proportion of PCPICHPower to
MaxTxPower is lower than 5%), the gains provided by this feature are small but the
negative impact of this feature is great. In this case, you are not advised to activate this
feature.
Number of UEs in a cell

The gains provided by this feature for a cell are noticeable only when there is a large number
of UEs in the cell. For example, the average value of VS.CellDCHUEs is larger than 10 in
the busy hour.
Obtain the number of UEs in the cell by querying the value of the VS.CellDCHUEs counter.
Non-HSPA power load in a cell

This feature reduces the P-CPICH transmit power for a cell only when the downlink nonHSPA power load in the cell is heavy. Before activating this feature, you are required to
estimate the downlink non-HSPA power load based on the value of (VS.MeanTCP.NonHS
- MaxTxPower ).
If the load is heavy, downlink non-HSPA power load in this cell is heavy. For example,
the value of (VS.MeanTCP.NonHS - MaxTxPower ) is larger than 50%.

Query the call drop rate.
While adjusting the P-CPICH transmit power, this feature increases the number of handovers
and affects the handover success rate. As a result, the call drop rate increases. See the values of
the counters listed in Table 6-8 and KPIs listed in Table 6-9. The value of these counters and
KPIs may increase after feature activation.

6.5 Parameter Optimization

Take the following measures to optimize parameters for this feature:
l
If the value of the VS.CellBreath.CPICHMin.Time counter is large when the P-CPICH

transmit power is set to the smallest value and counters but the call drop rate does not
increase, you can decrease the value of the MinPCPICHPower parameter to further adjust
the P-CPICH transmit power.
If the call drop rate increases noticeably after the feature activation, you can increase the
value of the PcpichPwrUpDlLoadState or PcpichPwrDownDlLoadState parameter to
increase the threshold for triggering reduction in the P-CPICH transmit power. For
example, you can change the value of the PcpichPwrDownDlLoadState parameter from
DlLoadedState to DlHeavyState.
If the number of P-CPICH transmit power adjustments (indicated by the

VS.CellBreath.CPICHUp or VS.CellBreath.CPICHDown counter) is large and the numbers of
uplink and downlink adjustments are almost the same, downlink non-HSPA power load state
changes frequently. In this situation, you can increase the value of the
IntraFreqLdbPeriodTimerLen parameter or decrease the value of the PCPICHPowerPace
parameter to reduce the number of P-CPICH transmit power adjustments.
