Cell Selection Criteria (S Criteria)
The cell selection criterion S is fulfilled when:
for FDD cells: Srxlev > 0 AND Squal > 0
for TDD cells: Srxlev > 0
Where:
Squal = Qqualmeas – Qqualmin
Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas - Qrxlevmin - Pcompensation
When UE wants to select an UMTS cell , the cell should be
satisfied with S Criterion.

If Sx <= Sintrasearch, perform intra-frequency measurements.
If Sintrasearch, is not sent for serving cell, perform intra-frequency measurements.
2. If Sx > Sintersearch, UE need not perform inter-frequency measurements.
If Sx <= Sintersearch, perform inter-frequency measurements.
If Sintersearch, is not sent for serving cell, perform inter-frequency measurements.
3. If Sx > SsearchRAT m, UE need not perform measurements on cells of RAT"m".
If Sx <= SsearchRAT m, perform measurements on cells of RAT "m".
If SsearchRAT m, is not sent for serving cell, perform measurements on cells of
RAT "m".

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/wcdma-rno-parameters-optimization-ppt 20/67
Cell Reselection Criteria (R Criteria)
1) All cells should be satisfied with S Criteria.
2) Select the Cell with the highest R value using the following method to compute.
R s = Qmeas,s + Qhysts
R n = Qmeas,n - Qoffsets,n
The cells shall be ranked according to the R criteria specified above, deriving Qmeas,n and
Qmeas,s and calculating the R values using CPICH RSCP, P-CCPCH RSCP and the averaged received signal level
for FDD, TDD and GSM cells, respectively.
The offset Qoffset1s,n is used for Qoffsets,n to calculate Rn, the hysteresis Qhyst1s is used
for Qhysts to calculate Rs.
If an FDD cell is ranked as the best cell and the quality measure for cell selection and re-selection is set to CPICHEc/No, the UE shall perform a second ranking of the FDD cells according to the R criteria specified above, but
using the measurement quantity CPICH Ec/No for deriving the Qmeas,n and Qmeas,s and calculating the R values
of the FDD cells. The offset Qoffset2s,n is used for Qoffsets,n to calculate Rn, the hysteresis Qhyst2s is used for
Qhysts to calculate Rs.. Following this second ranking, the UE shall perform cell re-selection to the best ranked
FDD cell.
In all cases, the UE shall reselect the new cell, only if the following conditions are met:
- the new cell is better ranked than the serving cell during a time interval Treselection.
- more than 1 second has elapsed since the UE camped on the current serving cell.

Cell Reselection from GSM to UMTS
If the 3G Cell Reselection list includes UTRAN frequencies, the MS shall, at least every 5 s
update the value RLA_C for the serving cell and each of the at least 6 strongest non-serving
GSM cells.
The MS shall then reselect a suitable (see TS 25.304) UTRAN cell if its measured RSCP value
exceeds the value of RLA_C for the serving cell and all of the suitable (see 3GPP TS 03.22) non-
serving GSM cells by the value XXX_Qoffset for a period of 5 seconds and, for FDD, the UTRAN
cells measured Ec/No value is equal or greater than the value FDD_Qmin. In case of a cell
reselection occurring within the previous 15 seconds, XXX_Qoffset is increased by 5 dB.
where Ec/No and RSCP are the measured quantities.
FDD_Qmin and XXX_Qoffset are broadcast on BCCH of the serving cell. XXX indicates
other radio access technology/mode.
Note:The parameters required to determine if the UTRAN cell is suitable are broadcast on
BCCH of the UTRAN cell. An MS may start reselection towards the UTRAN cell before
decoding the BCCH of the UTRAN cell, leading to a short interruption of service if the
UTRAN cell is not suitable.
Cell reselection to UTRAN shall not occur within 5 seconds after the MS has reselected a
GSM cell from an UTRAN cell if a suitable GSM cell can be found.
If more than one UTRAN cell fulfils the above criteria, the MS shall select the cell with the
greatest RSCP value.

Intersystem Handover Measure
1) Use Inter-frequency measurement reporting Event 2D ,2F
to reflect the currently used frequency quality.
Event 2d: The estimated quality of the currently used frequency is below a certain threshold.
The variables in the formula are defined as follows:
QUsed is the quality estimate of the used frequency.
TUsed 2d is the absolute threshold that applies for the used frequency and event 2d.
H2d is the hysteresis parameter for the event 2d.
Event 2f: The estimated quality of the currently used frequency is above a certain threshold.
The variables in the formula are defined as follows:
QUsed is the quality estimate of the used frequency.
TUsed 2f is the absolute threshold that applies for the used frequency and event 2f.
H2f is the hysteresis parameter for the event 2f.

Intersystem Handover Measure
2 When Received 2D reports ( that means the currently used frequency signal is poor ) , RNCsends Measurement Control (ID3) to let UE begin to measure other system signal . UE will
send measurement result reports periodically . When Received 2F reports (that means the
currently used frequency signal is not poor), RNC sends Measurement Control (ID3,but
different contents) to let UE stop measuring other system signal .
3) When received the periodical reports , RNC use the following formula to judge whether should
handover UE to another system .
Mother_RAT + CIO > Tother_RAT + H/2
Tother_RAT : the inter-system handover decision threshold;
Mother_RAT : the inter-system (GSM RSSI) measurement result received by RNC;
CIO: Cell Individual Offset, which is the inter-system cell setting offset;
H : refers to hysteresis,
If the formula is met, a trigger-timer called TimeToTrigForSysHo will be started, and a handover decision will be
made when the timer times out;
Note: if the inter-system quality satisfies the following condition before the timer times out:
Mother_RAT + CIO < Tother_RAT - H/2
The timer will be stopped, and RNC will go on waiting to receive the next inter-system measurement report.
The length of the trigger-timer is called time-to-trigger.

Outer Loop Power Control
Outer loop control is used to setting SirTarget (Signal to Interference Ratio Target) for inner loop power
control. It is divided into uplink outer loop power control and downlink outer loop power control.
The uplink outer loop power control is controlled by SRNC (serving RNC) for setting a target SIR for eachUE. This target SIR is updated according to the estimated uplink quality (Block Error Ratio/ Bit Error Ratio).
If UE is not in DTX (Discontinuous Transmission)status (that means RNC can receive uplink traffic data),
RNC will use Bler (Block Error Ratio) to compute SirTarget . Otherwise , RNC will use Ber (Bit Error Ratio)
to compute SirTarget.
The downlink outer loop power control is controlled by the UE receiver to converge to required link quality
(BLER) set by the network (RNC) in downlink.

Inner Loop Power Control
The inner-loop power control adjusts the UE or NodeB
transmit power in order to keep the received
signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) at a given SIR target,
SIRtarget.
It is also divided into uplink inner loop power control and
downlink inner loop power control.

Uplink Inner Loop Power Control
UTRAN behaviour
The serving cells (cells in the active set) should estimate signal-to-interference ratio
SIRest of the received uplink DPCH. The serving cells should then generate TPC
commands and transmit the commands once per slot according to the following rule: if
SIRest > SIRtarget then the TPC command to transmit is "0", while if SIRest < SIRtarget
then the TPC command to transmit is "1".
UE behaviour
Upon reception of one or more TPC commands in a slot, the UE shall derive a single
TPC command, TPC_cmd, for each slot, combining multiple TPC commands if more than
one is received in a slot. This is also valid when SSDT transmission is used in the
downlink. Two algorithms shall be supported by the UE for deriving a TPC_cmd. Whichof these two algorithms is used is determined by a UE-specific higher-layer parameter,
"PowerControlAlgorithm", and is under the control of the UTRAN. If
"PowerControlAlgorithm" indicates "algorithm1", then the layer 1 parameter PCA shall
take the value 1 and if "PowerControlAlgorithm" indicates "algorithm2" then PCA shall
take the value 2.

Uplink Inner Loop Power Control
The step size DTPC is a layer 1 parameter which is derived from the UE-specific higher-
layer parameter "TPC-StepSize" which is under the control of the UTRAN. If "TPC-
StepSize" has the value "dB1", then the layer 1 parameter DTPC shall take the value
1 dB and if "TPC-StepSize" has the value "dB2", then DTPC shall take the value 2 dB.
The parameter "TPC-StepSize" only applies to Algorithm 1 . For Algorithm 2 DTPC shall
always take the value 1 dB.
After deriving of the combined TPC command TPC_cmd using one of the two supported
algorithms, the UE shall adjust the transmit power of the uplink DPCCH with a step of
DDPCCH (in dB) which is given by:
DDPCCH = DTPC TPC_cmd.

Uplink Inner Loop Power Control
Algorithm 1 for processing TPC commands
When a UE is not in soft handover, only one TPC command will be received in
each slot. In this case, the value of TPC_cmd shall be derived as follows:
- If the received TPC command is equal to 0 then TPC_cmd for that slot is –1.
- If the received TPC command is equal to 1, then TPC_cmd for that slot is
Algorithm 2 for processing TPC commands
When a UE is not in soft handover, only one TPC command will be received in
each slot. In this case, the UE shall process received TPC commands on a 5-slot
cycle, where the sets of 5 slots shall be aligned to the frame boundaries and there
shall be no overlap between each set of 5 slots.
The value of TPC_cmd shall be derived as follows:
- For the first 4 slots of a set, TPC_cmd = 0.- For the fifth slot of a set, the UE uses hard decisions on each of the 5
received TPC commands as follows:
- If all 5 hard decisions within a set are 1 then TPC_cmd = 1 in the 5th slot.
- If all 5 hard decisions within a set are 0 then TPC_cmd = -1 in the 5th slot.
- Otherwise, TPC_cmd = 0 in the 5th slot.

Downlink Inner Loop Power Control
UE behaviour
The UE shall generate TPC commands to control the network transmit power
and send them in the TPC field of the uplink DPCCH. The UE shall check
the downlink power control mode (DPC_MODE) before generating
the TPC command:
- if DPC_MODE = 0 : the UE sends a unique TPC command in each slot and the
TPC command generated is transmitted in the first available TPC field in the uplink
DPCCH;
- if DPC_MODE = 1 : the UE repeats the same TPC command over 3 slots and
the new TPC command is transmitted such that there is a new command at the
beginning of the frame.
The DPC_MODE parameter is a UE specific parameter controlled by the
UTRAN.

Downlink Inner Loop Power Control
UTRAN behaviour
Upon receiving the TPC commands UTRAN shall adjust its downlink DPCCH/DPDCH
power accordingly. For DPC_MODE = 0, UTRAN shall estimate the transmitted TPC
command TPCest to be 0 or 1, and shall update the power every slot. If DPC_MODE = 1,
UTRAN shall estimate the transmitted TPC command TPCest over three slots to be 0 or1, and shall update the power every three slots.
