Downlink Code Power Based Compressed Mode-TE5
Downlink Code Power Based Compressed Mode-TE5
Description
• Downlink Code Power Based Compressed Mode (FAJ 121 4036) is an optional
feature introduced in W15B that enables setting the thresholds to start
Compressed Mode based on the measurement quantity named Downlink (DL)
transmitted code power
• This feature introduces a fourth measurement quantity, on top of the legacy ones
(Ec/No, RSCP and Ue TX power), to trigger compressed mode
• In a situation when Ec/No varies a lot and forces the operator to set handover
thresholds to start CM very high in order not to drop the call, the operator can
with this feature instead by setting the thresholds based on DL code power
Benefits
Reducing unnecessary triggering of Compressed Mode gives:
• More WCDMA coverage
• Higher throughput
• Reduced system load
• Less IRAT Handovers
