What is PI?

PI (Paging indication) is a short indicator that is transmitted on the PICH to tell the UE that there is a paging message on an associated paging channel carried by the SCCPCH. The number of PIs per radio frame (Np) can be 18, 36, 72 or 144. Once the UE knows paging occasion (SFN), then the UE needs to know which PI to l ook for in the SFN. The equation is PI = DRX index mod Np where DRX index = IMSI div 8192 If the PI bits are set in the paging occasion (SFN), the UE reads the paging mes sage on the PCH transmitted on the associated SCCPCH.

July 27, 2009 at 6:13 am Filed under umts Tagged cell_dch, measurement, wcdma In Cell_DCH, the UE makes measurements and reports them to the UTRAN for action by the UTRAN. However, in other states, the measurements are not reported to the UTRAN and the UE takes action based on the measurements. (though Cell_FACH measurement has so me common things with Cell_DCH) Permalink Leave a Comment What is RRC connection?July 27, 2009 at 6:01 am Filed under umts Tagged rrc conne ction, srb, wcdma RRC connection exists when a UE went through the connection establishment procedure and has been alloc ated resources in the UTRAN and a U-RNTI.

With RRC connection, some SRBs are allocated.

It consists of 1. RAB 2. CN bearer (bearer between SGSN and GGSN) The PDP context is created with a defined QoS that is requested by the UE and gr anted by the network. Permalink Leave a Comment What is RAB?July 27, 2009 at 5:56 am Filed under umts Tagged Iu bearer, rab, rb, sgsn, wcdma RAB (Radio Access Bearer) is created to provide user plane data transfer. RAB comprises 1. RB and 2. connection from the SRNC to the SGSN (Iu bearer). The RAB is created on reequest from the SGSN with a specific QoS request. For a given UE, there can be multiple RABs per NAS service (speech or PS data se rvice). Permalink Leave a Comment What is RB?July 27, 2009 at 5:47 am Filed under umts Tagged rb, srb, wcdma RB (Radio Bearer) is a layer 2 connection between the UE and the RNC. It is used for both control signaling and user data. RB used for signaling is called an SRB.

RL (Radio Link) represents the physical connection between the UE and Node B. Each RL is defined by its RF frequency, channelization code and scrambling code.

RRC connection RL (UE-Node B) RB (UE-Node B-RNC) RAB (UE-Node B-RNC-SGSN) PDP context (UE-Node B-RNC-SGSN-GGSN) The CIO is a cell specific RRM parameter, whose value modifies the cell s pilot measurements and thus, influences the time and the place of SHO establishment with the particular cell, see e.g. [6] or [7], x14.1. A change of the CIO value has the following influence on the network performance: Effects of a higher CIO: More MS add the cell to or keep it in their active set. Thus, a higher value of the CIO leads to a SHO overhead increase in the cell, stressing both, SHO advantages and disadvantages. An optimizer could preferably rise the CIO at rather low DL load values. Effects of a lower CIO: Less MS add the cell to their active set and at the same time more MS remove it from the active set. Thus, a lower value leads to a SHO overhead decrease, easing both, SHO advantages and disadvantages. An optimizer could preferably lower the CIO at high DL load values. Thus, carefully adjusted CIOs can help to adapt the SHO overhead to the current load situation in a cell. This process will result in lower outage probabilities in case of overload situations in the network, which is the optimization aim in this work Power Utilization UtranCell.RF_TxPwr_AllCodes_Mean
