    Practical CPICH Power Design For Coverage-Capacity Tradeoff (Part 1) - CherriesWork - Must - Read PDF

    Uploaded by

    Biswajit Mohanty
    The document discusses the challenges of designing CPICH (Common Pilot Channel) power in 3G networks. CPICH power determines cell coverage and capacity tradeoffs. Increasing CPICH power improves coverage but reduces available power for traffic channels. Optimal CPICH power design also considers soft/softer handover performance between cells and controlling interference levels. The post outlines these coverage-capacity tradeoffs and how CPICH power impacts network performance.
