Power budget
The target of the power budget calculation is to estimate the maximum allowed path loss on radio path from transmit antenna to receive antenna
The minimum Eb/N0 (and BER/BLER) requirement is achieved with the maximum allowed path loss and transmit power both in UL & DL

The maximum path loss can be used to calculate cell range R

Receiver noise density is the sum of the thermal noise density and the receiver noise figure. Thermal Noise density [dBm/Hz] + Receiver noise figure [dB] = Receiver Noise Density [dBm/Hz] In order to calculate the thermal Noise power of the receiver (the receiver noise floor without external interference) the receiver noise power is calculated at the WCDMA carrier bandwidth.

Cable Loss Benefit of using MHA

Cable loss
Cable loss is the sum of all signal losses caused by the antenna line outside the base station cabinet
Jumper losses
Feeder cable loss MHA insertion loss in DL when MHA is used
Typical 0.5 dB

Benefit of using MHA


MHA can be used to improve the base station system noise figure in UL The benefit achieved by using MHA equals to the noise figure improvement The benefit of using MHA depends on the cable loss, for example
When Lcable < 5 dB: Benefit of using MHA > Cable loss When Lcable > 5 dB: Benefit of using MHA < Cable loss Calculated with Nokia MHA (G = 12 dB, NF = 2 dB) and base station NF = 3 dB

Common assumption is to equal the benefit to the cable loss

Body loss: this parameter describes the


additional loss in power budget. The loss is usually used for speech services where the UEs antenna is often shadowed by the user's head. For data services the body loss can be set to 0dB, because in this case the UE is normally not close to the body. Soft handover gain Fast fading margin

Soft Handover Gain


(Gain Against Slow Fading)

Soft handover gain is the gain against shadow fading. This is roughly the gain of a handover algorithm, in which the best BTS can always be chosen (based on minimal transmission power of MS) against a hard handover algorithm based on geometrical distance.
In reality the SHO gain is a function of required coverage probability and the standard deviation of the signal for the environment. The gain is also dependent on whether the user is outdoors, where the likelihood of multiple servers is high, or indoors where the radio channel tends to be dominated by a much smaller number of serving cells.
For indoors users the recommendation is to use smaller SHO gain value

Soft handover gain can be understood also as reduction of Slow Fading Margin (See Cell range estimation)

Fast fading margin


Fast fading margin is used as a correction factor for Eb/N0 at the cell edge, when the used Eb/N0 is defined with fast power control
At the cell edge the UE does not have enough power to follow the fast fading dips

In DL fast fading margin is not usually applied due to lower power control dynamic range
Fast fading margin = (average received Eb/N0) without fast PC - (average received Eb/N0) with
fast PC

Channel: Pedestrian A; antenna diversity assumed

needed for certain service in order to fulfil the Eb/No requirement for that service

Power per connection (DL)


The maximum downlink transmit power for each connection is defined by the RNC admission control functionality
Vendor specific

In Nokia RAN the maximum DL power depends on


Connection bit rate Service Eb/N0 requirement (internal RNC info) CPICH transmit power and group of other RNC parameters

Actual available DL power depends on maximum total BTS TX power, DL traffic amount and distribution over the cell (All users share same amplifier) Example values with 2 W (33 dBm) CPICH power and default Nokia RNC parameters Service Type Downlink bit rate Maximum transmit power per connection

Peak EIRP is the maximum transmitted power


after the antenna.
Peak EIRP = power per connection - cable losses body loss + antenna gain
EIRP = Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power

Isotropic path loss: Maximum path loss


between the transmitting and receiving antenna is calculated for UL and DL separately.
