"A band Channel Element is the resource base required in the Node-B to Provide f or one voice channel capacity, including the control plane to Provide for one vo ice channel capacity, including the control plane signaling, compressed mode, th e transmit diversity and softer handover. "signaling, compressed mode, the trans mit diversity and softer handover." Factors affecting capacity in WCDMA UL and DL, sorted by descending level of imp ortance as follows: Factors affecting Capacity in WCDMA UL and DL, sorted by des cending level of Importance as Follows: - UL: No. CE support on each Node B, interference, Node B sensivity, .. - UL: No . CE support on the each Node B, interference, Node B sensivity, .. - DL: No. CE support on each Node B Iub interface capacity, power DL, OVSF, ... - DL: No. CE support on the each Node B Iub interface capacity, power DL, OVSF, ... Thus, CE can be viewed as a license for each NodeB capacity (not more). Thus, CE can be viewed as a license for each vertex NodeB capacity (not more). Each service will need some different CE UL and DL, such as: the each service wi ll need some Different CE UL and DL, such as: AMR 12.2 k: Uplink 1; downlink AMR 12.2 k 1: Uplink 1; downlink 1 CS / PS 64 K: 3 Uplink, downlink 2 CS / PS 64 K: 3 Uplink, downlink 2 PS 128/144k: Uplink 5; downlink 128/144k PS 4: Uplink 5; DL 4 384 k PS: Uplink 10, downlink 8384 k PS: Uplink 10; downlink 8
