How to choose the right target SIR? Adjust target SIR to meet the link quality Consider quality as BER or BLER SIR for quality depends on Mobiles speed Multipath profile Adjust SIR to the worst case? Unnecessary high SIR wastes capacity Desirable: minimal SIR which fulfils the quality requirement How to find such SIR? 85
Finding the target SIR: outer loop power control frame reliability information NodeB target SIR adjustment Radio Network Controller (RNC) execute in RNC at rate of max 100Hz: foreach UE i assigned to a NodeB determine the quality from CRC attachment if quality better than required then decrease SIR target = SIR target down else increase SIR target = SIR target + up Similar method for the downlink Downlink method resides in UE Why is uplink handled in RNC? Soft handover combining! 86

The idea of soft handover NodeB1 NodeB2 Exploiting multi path/antenna diversity (Macro diversity) Uplink No additional signal is transmitted In principal, always increases performance Downlink Each link causes interference at other users Trade-off 89
Soft handover: the downlink perspective NodeB1 NodeB2 Maximal ratio combining (MRC) in the rake receiver Recall: MRC used to exploit multi path diversity Difference: rake receiver fingers use different codes 90
Soft handover: the uplink perspective frame with CRC NodeB1 NodeB1 NodeB2 RNC SC frame with CRC NodeB2 Selection combining (SC) in the RNC Target SIR decided after SC 91
Softer handover NodeB Sectored antenna Downlink: similar to soft handover Uplink: the more effective MRC instead of SC is possible and used 92
Ingredients of the soft handover procedure cell 1 cell 3 cell 2 CPICH E c /I 0 Measurement quantity, e.g. CPICH E c /I 0 Active set: soft handover connection of UE Neighbor/monitored set: set of cells that UE can measure In the following example the active set size is 2 time 93
Adding a cell to the active set cell 1 cell 3 Best pilot cell 2 Active set is not full add add = reporting_range hysteresis_event1a = window_add Event 1A (add cell2) 94
Replacing a cell in the active set cell 1 cell 3 cell 2 Best candidate pilot replace Worst pilot in full active set Event 1A (add cell2) Event 1C (replace cell1 with cell3) 95
Removing a cell from the active set cell 1 cell 3 cell 2 Best pilot remove = reporting_range + hysteresis_event1b = window_drop Event 1A (add cell2) Event 1C (replace cell1 with cell3) Event 1B (remove cell2) 96

Zusammenfassung Generelle Idee zellularer Netze: räumlich verteilte Basisstationen wegen beschränkter Bandbreite und limitierter Übertragungsreichweite Erfordert: Leistungskontrolle, Handover Mechanismen, aufwendige drahtgebundene Infrastruktur (drahtlos nur auf der letzten Meile ) Bemerkung: das Thema schnurlose Telefone (z.b. DECT) wurde hier nicht betrachtet Vereinfachte Darstellung von Zellen mittels Hexagonen Zwei Varianten zur Aufteilung der Bandbreite: Zuweisung von Frequenzen, CDMA Alte Mobilefunkgenerationen: der Schwerpunkt ist hier die Sprachübertragung. (Eine Verbindung pro aktivem Nutzer) In der Mobiltelefonie spricht man von Evolution von alten Generationen hin zu neuen Generationen Neue Generationen: Datendienste werden immer wichtiger Evolution von leitungsvermittelnden zu paketorientiertem Netz (näher am Internet Modell) Beispiele: GSM und UMTS WS 2012/2013 Drahtlose Kommunikation Zellulare Netze 98
