WCDMA Power Distribution

WCDMA powers are divided into 3 types of power: Common Channel, Dedicated Channel Power
and HSDPA Power. And each type of power works in different way.
Control Channel Power (CCH)
CCH power is reserved for control and signaling channel purposes,
the value is pre-defined by user and relative to CPICH Power
DCH Power (R99)
DCH power used in dedicated mode in R99 states, it is used for
user plane connection/data transfer. Higher R99 states, more power
will be consumed
HSDPA Power
HSDPA power is used for HSDPA data transaction/connection. It will
use the remaining power from DCH (R99) and CCH Power. Thus
the value will be dynamically change depends on R99 power usage

High CCH power configuration will limit the available power for HSDPA which will affect HSDPA
throughput.
CCH Optimization could resulting in more power allocation for HSDPA purposes, thus will
improve the throughput

Proposed Strategy
CCCH power optimization could be reached by reducing unused power that are reserved for CCH
and allocate more power for others without degrading current quality of the network.
Objective :
Reduce excessive reserved Common Control Channel (CCCH) power
Deploy the most efficient power distribution/management
Give more power resource to be used for other services (R99 and HSDPA)
Expected results :
HSDPA throughput improvement
Power congestion reduction
Better user experience

Pre & Post Implementation

DT will be conducted covering below route before CCCH power optimization
Cluster High Power DL Utilt

Cluster High HSDPA User

Cluster Low HSDPA User

After implementation, same route will be re-DT to know the improvement.

OSS KPI also will be monitored especially HSDPA throughput and accessibility.
Fallback operations will be done once there is major degradation related to this activity.
