PHSDPA min(PtxMaxHSDPA, PtxCellMax)- power

to R99 DCH & DL control channels

Fixed load target PtxTargetHSDPA

Fixed overload threshold for R99
PtxTargetHSDPA + PtxOffsetHSDPA
In case of overload HSDPA might be
released immediately
Priorities distinguish between R99 &
HSDPA users only

Dynamically adjusted load target PtxTargetPS

Overload threshold for R99 goes parallel to load target:
PtxTargetPS + PtxOffset
In case of overload HSDPA power might be reduced,
but usually service not released immediately
Priorities distinguish between interactive & background
users as well

Load Target Adjustment (6/7)

Required information
Total power PtxTotal measured by Node B
Non HSDPA power PtxNonHSDPA measured by Node B
Both averaged according PSAveragingWindowSize (same parameter as for R99)
Need for adjustment checked periodically according PtxTargetPSAdjustPeriod
If adjustment needed

Increase by PtxTargetPSStepUp in case of DCH congestion

Decrease by PtxTargetPSStepDown in case of HSDPA congestion

Actions in Case of Congestion (7/7)

DCH congestion only
Increase PtxTargetPS by PtxTargetPSStepUp, if currently below ideal load target
(but not above PtxTargetPSMax)

HSDPA congestion only

Decrease PtxTargetPS by PtxTargetPSStepDown, if currently above ideal load target
(but not below PtxTargetPSMin)

Both DCH & HSDPA congestion

Increase PtxTargetPS, if currently below ideal load target
Decrease PtxTargetPS, if currently above ideal load target
