Refers to TS 25.304
Parameter Description This parameter indicates the threshold for intra frequency measurements of cell re-selection. It
can be used by UE to decide to perform intra frequency measurements or not. When HCS is
not used, if serving cell quality is bigger than Sintrasearch, UE may choose to not perform
intra-frequency measurements. If serving cell quality is smaller than Sintrasearch or
Sintrasearch is not sent for serving cell, UE performs intra-frequency measurements.

This parameter indicates the hysteresis value. It is used for FDD cells in
case the quality measure for cell selection and re-selection is set toCPICH RSCP. In the R rule of cell re-selection sorting, R value of serving
cell is equal to measurement value plus re-selection hysteresis value.

Refers to TS 25.331
Parameter
Description
This parameter indicates the minimum required RX level when UE is stationed
in a certain cell. If the measurement value is CPICH RSCP, only the quality
value of tested cell, Qrxlevmeas, being bigger than Qrxlevmin can meet the cellre-selection requirement. This is the Qrxlevmin value of SIB11.
Location in NE Cell
Value Range (-115..-25)dBm step 2 dBm
Default Value -115dBm
Suggestive Value -97dBm
Description for
setting and
adjusting
For the network of WCDMA together with GSM, the coverage inside WCDMA is
expected to be continuous. Cell selection and re-selection from WCDMA to
GSM are only needed on the edge of WCDMA network coverage area. So inthe dense region, we can increase Qrxlevmin in SIB11 and Qoffset1-s,n in
SIB11 (neighbor) to harden cell re-selection. On the edge of WCDMA network,
especially on the highway, the signal of WCDMA cell fades fast when UE moves
fast. UE cannot re-select cell in time when entering GSM network. So
increasing Ssearch,RAT, decreasing Qrxlevmin in SIB11 and Qoffset1-s,n inSIB11 (neighbor) can help UE to complete re-selection as soon as possible.

For each cell that is monitored, an offset can be assigned with inband
signalling. The offset can be either positive or negative. The offset is
added to the measurement quantity before the MS evaluates if an
event has occurred.
Offset of neighbor cell parameter, CPICH Ec/No, can be set as theoffset which MS pluses it to neighbor cell measurement result, CPICH
Ec/No, before compares it with reporting principle value, Ec/No.

Filter Coefficient (Intra-frequency Measurement Filter Coefficient)
Refers to TS 25.331
ParameterDescription
This parameter indicates the filter coefficient used by UE to complete L3 filteringduring intra-frequency measurement. On the UE side, L1 performs intra-frequency
measurement with fixed period (During one period of measurement, multiple pointwill be measured. And L1 will filtering the result of measurement. The filteringmethod can be decided by UE self). And then L1 sends the report to L3 according toa certain time interval. L3 filters the measurement results of this time and the resultssaved before. The filtering method is decided by protocol. Fn is the measurementresult filtered this time, Fn-1 is the measurement result filtered last time and Mn isthe newest measurement value. The formula is: , a = 1/2(k/2.K is the filter coefficient. K set to be 0 means L3 is unnecessary.

ParameterDescription
This parameter controls the triggering of 1a/1b event. The bigger the parameter value is,the easier the 1a event is triggered and the more difficult the 1b event is triggered. On thecontrary, the smaller the parameter is, the more difficult the 1a event is triggered and theeasier the 1b event is triggered.

Default Value Refer to parameter table
Suggestive Value 1A 3dB, 1b 5dB
Description forsetting andadjusting
In dense region, soft handover happens very frequently during the movement of UEbecause there are many cells and the cells overlaps a lot. This not only affects thenetwork quality, but also occupied a lot of network resources. So increasing 1A triggering
time and decreasing 1A triggering threshold, decreasing 1B triggering time and increasing1B triggering threshold can decrease soft handover. At the same time, for the region withtremendous signal changes, such as street corner, 1A and 1B triggering time andthreshold should be adjusted towards the negative direction. This can make 1A happen asearly as possible and 1B happen as late as possible and guarantees the handovercompleted smoothly.

decrease triggering time and hysteresis in order to make UE starting compressed mode.

On DPCH, besides data bits, TFCI, TPC and PILOTbits are also reused. Because the informationbrought by these bits is important, the power needs

7/27/2019 WPO-17 WCDMA URTAN Parameter Introduction-89
74/89
On the condition of soft handover or macrodiversity, one UE cancommunicates with all the cells in the active set. UE sends the same TPCcommands to the cells in the active set when processing downlink inner looppower control. But because of the different broadcast route for each radio link,it is possible that some cells receives wrong TPC commands caused by wrongcode sent by TPC commands. It causes that some cells increase downlink
transmitted power and the others decrease downlink power transmitted power.Then power drift appears. Downlink power balance is the method used to solvepower drift.
The simple formula is shown below, Pbal should be calculated as:
The variables in the formula are defined as follows:z Pref is reference power. Its value is equal to DL Reference Power (this value
can be calculated by transmitted code power of NodeB periodic reporting (TCP:PILOT domain transmitted power of DPCH));
z PP-CPICH is the transmitted power of primary CPICH;
z Pinit is the code power of the last time slot in the previous adjustment period. Ifthe last time slot in the previous period is within the transmission interval (undercompressed mode), Pinit is equal to the code power in the transmission intervalbefore;
z r is the adjusted coefficient of convergence (AdjRatio). It is between 0 and 1.

Parameter Description This parameter indicates the TPC step size of uplinkinner loop power control. This parameter needs to be set
only when algorithm 1 is chosen for uplink inner loop
power control algorithm. For algorithm 2, TPC step size is
equal to the default value (1) and unnecessary to be set.

Parameter
Description
This parameter indicates which algorithm of downlink power
control of inner loop is used. There are two kind of downlink
power control of inner loop, single time slot and 3 time slots.Which algorithm should be used needs to be sent to UE.
This parameter indicates which algorithm of uplink inner loop
power control is used. For algorithm 1, inner loop power
control executes in every time slot. And for algorithm 2, inner
loop power control executes in every 5 time slots.

Parameter Name DPCH Minimum DL Power (DPCH Minimum Downlink TransmittedPower)
Refers to TS 25.433
Parameter
Description
This parameter indicates the downlink minimum transmitted power of
DPCH. When executing downlink inner loop power control, the newtransmitted power must be more than or equal to the configuration of
DPCH minimum downlink transmitted power. If the new transmitted
power is smaller than the configuration of DPCH minimum downlink
transmitted power, it must be set equal to DPCH minimum downlink
transmitted power.
