The uplink E-DPCCH open loop power control of HSUPA is realized by setting a
reasonable E-DPCCH power offset relative to that of DPCCH.
According to 25.214 standard, the gain factor ec of E-DPCCH is calculated using the
following formula in non-compressed mode:

ec c Aec
Where,
c is the gain factor of uplink
dedicated control physical channel of
R99.
Aec is obtained from E-DPCCH

UE and NodeB to calculate the power needed by other non-reference E-TFC.

Where,
c is the gain factor of uplink

The gain factor of E-DPDCH is defined as ed, which can be of a different value for each

Ke,ref : the number of data bits of reference E-TFC.
Ke,j : the number of data bits of the number jth E-TFC.
harq: HARQ power offset (EdchHarqPOFdd);

Downlink E-AGCH/RGCH/HICH Power


For E-AGCH, E-RGCH and E-HICH, the power is in the form of power offset.
E-AGCH power offset (EagchPOTti2 or EagchPOTti10, depending on different TTIs)
E-RGCH power offset (ErgchPOTti2 or ErgchPOTti10, depending on different TTIs)
E-HICH power offset (EhichPOTti2 or EhichPOTti10, depending on different TTIs)

When F-DPCH is configured, the power offset is relative to F-DPCH TPC domain.
When F-DPCH is configured, the power offset is relative to F-DPCH TPC domain.

Update:
The configuration of the power offsets in OMCR are related with different services.
When the control plane detects changes (establishment, addition, deletion and
modification) in the sub-services carried by DPCH, the new power offset is obtained
from the database according to the number of sub-service and then configured again.
When TTIs change, the power offsets are configured again.
In the macro diversity status, the power offset is updated. For a multi-link case, EAGCH power offset takes the value of E-AGCH Power Offset + Macro Diversity Gain.

HSUPA Uplink Outer Loop Power Control


Reflect service quality:
HARQ failure
Number of HARQ Retransmission (NHR)
In fact, when HARQ failure happen, it can be converted to a certain NHR
according to the maximum retransmission :
NHR = CorrNumHarqToNhr * MaxRetransEdch
Where,
CorrNumHarqToNhr is correction coefficient for converting HARQ failure to
NHR;
MaxRetransEdch is the maximum number of retransmissions for E-DCH.

To better reflect the channel quality, the average NHR value during a statistical
period is usually taken as the basis for decision. The average NHR during a
statistical period is defined as:
I

Num Re TransDiffAve NHRi / I

by one adjustment step;

ii) If NumReTransDiffAve < NhrThrUp, decrease SIRtarget


by one adjustment step.

HSUPA Uplink Outer Loop Power Control

SIRtarget adjustment in the case of concurrent services:


i) SIRtarget is increased as long as one service triggers it to be increased.
ii) SIRtarget is not decreased unless all services with valid NHR statistics
indicate to decrease SIRtarget. Services with invalid NHR statistics are
excluded from the combination of power control.
iii) Some services need to decrease SIRtarget while some others need SIRtarget
to remain the same, In this way, SIRtarget is not adjusted to guarantee QoS of
all services.

HSUPA Uplink Outer Loop Power Control


Coupling implementation of HSUPA and R99 outer loop power control
As the outer loop power control
event algorithm of E-DCH
introduced, it may affect the
current outer loop power control
algorithm in some cases. In this
case, a final decision described
in right table should be made by
RNC.
In the right table:
indicates increase,
for decrease,
- for no adjustment (remain
unchanged),
for invalid NHR statistics.
