DLTransmit Carrier Power Estimation per Radio Link

Pestimate rl = F Pmax rl (W)
Pestimate rl is the estimation of the downlink transmitted carrier power for the new connection F is a power scaling factor that is connected to the activityfactor and also distance-dependent
Pmax rl is the maximum DL transmitted code power (in W) allowed for the radio link.

HSDPA NBAP: Common Power measurements

All excess power used by HSDPA
Existing P3 implementation considers the cell as always having a highly loaded downlink.
Adapt power measurements to the HSDPA capability of a cell:

HSDPA capable: Measure TX power of all codes not used for HS-PDSCH or HS-SCCH HSDPA not capable: Measure TX power for all codes

Yes, then block No

Check if the requested DL Pwr + estimated Pwr > pwrAdm

Check if the requested code usage + estimated code usage > dLCodeAdm
No
Check if the requested ASE UL + estimated ASE UL > aseUlAdm
