8.5.3 CDMA uplink Power Control Methodology in SEAMCAT (VOICE ONLY)

Performance characteristics of individual links to be used in the power control module of SEAMCAT are generated a priori from link level simulations. This usually includes several mappings between requested link quality (e.g. block error rate, BLER ) and required transmit power of mobile stations/base stations. For generating such mappings in form of “look up tables”, link level simulations involve multipath fading, physical layer transceiver algorithms, e.g. modulation/demodulation and coding/decoding, as well as power control procedures. Different mulipath fading channels (e.g. the ITU channel models) are used to model various configurations, e.g. indoor, outdoor, pedestrian, vehicular, etc. 
 In CDMA UL , the sum of received C/I values in two sectors should meet the C/I requirements specified by the link level simulation data. In CDMA Uplink, the link level is a function of Eb/No.
