RACH POWER

PARAMETER AND CALCULATION FOR RACH POWER

1 (9)

PURPOSE :
BASIC AIM OF THIS DOCUMENT IS TO IDENTIFY DIFFERENT PARAMETERS WHICH
CONTROL THE RACH TRANSMIT POWER. IT ALSO COVERS THE VARIATION OF TRANSMIT
POWER WITH THE DIFFERENT PARAMETERS SETTINGS.

INSTRUCTION :
PARAMETER MEASURED DATA :
IN THIS TAB YOU WILL FIND THE BASIC PARAMETERS WHICH ARE
RELEVENT TO RACH POWER CONTROL. IT ALSO CONTAINS THE DIFFERENT FIELD MEASURED
DATA WHICH ARE RELEVANT TO RACH POWERS. YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO MODIFY THE
COLUMNS WHICH ARE HIGHLIGHTED WITH YELLOW.
CAUTION : DONOT MAKE ANY MODIFICATION IN THOSE COLUMNS WHICH ARE HIGHLIGHTED
IN GREY
RACH POWER SETTINGS :
IN THIS TAB YOU WILL FIND HOW THE RACH POWER LEVEL IS IDENTIFIED,
THE LOGIC FLOW IS BASED ON ERICSSON ALGORITHM. YOU CAN ALSO FIND RACH
TRANSMIT POWER RACH FOR CONTOL PART AND DATA PART WITH DIFFERENT PARAMETER
SETTINGS.
CAUTION : DONNOT MAKE ANY CHANGES IN THIS TAB.

Combining Eq.1A & Eq. 2

This is the Downlink Loss
Considering Downlink and Uplink Loss is same

As per Ericsson Parametric Definition. Extra Offset C is added to it.

This is the measured value, measured at the RBS and transmitted to MS through BCCH

Using Eq. 4
Using Eq. 5

Using Eq. 7
