PUC Realization
PUC can modify inter-frequency cell reselection parameters to control the user distribution between cells.
Sintersearch: when the load of a cell is Heavy, PUC will increase this parameter; when the load of a cell is Light, PUC will decrease this parameter. QOffset1sn and QOffset2sn: when the load of a cell is Heavy, PUC will decrease these parameters; when the load of a cell is Light, PUC will increase these parameters.

CAC Power Resource Admission


Algorithm 1: based on UL/DL load measurement and load prediction (RTWP and TCP)
The algorithm is easy to implement, but it is affected by the result of RTWP and TCP measurement

Algorithm 2: based on Element Number of User (ENU)


The algorithm is no need to measure RTWP and TCP, but the calculation is more complex

Algorithm 3: loose call admission control algorithm


Similar to algorithm 1, but the prediction of needed power of a new call will be set to zero
