Power Control PC
WCDMA systems are interference limited; therefore, it is beneficial to reduce
transmission power as far as possible (without violating the required quality).
Thus, the target of PC is to achieve the min. SIR that is required to offer
sufficient quality of the connection.
PC works on a per-connection basis.

Updates load status using measurements & estimations provided by AC & PS
Continuously feeds cell load information to PS & AC:

Admission Control AC
Checks that admitting a new user will not sacrifice planned
coverage or quality of existing connections
Grant
AC sets quality and power parameters for the radio link, e.g.:
UL/DL BLER, Eb/No targets, SIR target

RNP parameters)
PS comprises two parts: UE specific & Cell specific
HSDPA & HSUPA resources are scheduled by the Node B

Handover Control HC
HC is responsible for:
Managing the mobility aspects of an RRC connection as UE moves around network
Maintaining connection quality by ensuring UE is always served by the best cell
saving capacity

Resource Manager RM
Responsible for managing the logical radio resources of the RNC in co-operation with
AC and PS
On request for resources, from either AC(RT) or PS(NRT), RM allocates:
DL Channelization Code
UL Scrambling Code
Code Type
Uplink
Downlink
Scrambling codes
User separation
Cell separation
Channelization codes
DL spreading code allocation for HSDPA users can be dynamic from RAS06 on
