How much power usually a NodeB is allocated to control channels?


The power allocated to control channels may depend on equipment vendor recommendation. Typically no more than 20% of the total NodeB power is allocated to control channels, including CPICH. However, if HSDPA is deployed on the same carrier then the total power allocated to control channel may go up to 25 to 30% because of the additional HSDPA control channels required.

  1. Did this restriction apply in all situation. i mean we can increase power in an case where population is less and they are separated by long distance to increase the coverage.Can we do this ?

  2. Just to confirm in case we have R99+HSDPA on same carrier we are using 33dbm as CPICH power for both carriers do we need to increase it for the one carrying both R99+HSDPA ?
