What is SIR? SIR is the Signal-to-Interference Ratio – the ratio of the energy in dedicated physical control channel bits to the power density of interference and noise after dispreading. What is RSCP? RSCP stands for Received Signal Code Power – the energy per chip in CPICH averaged over 512 chips. What is Eb/No? By definition Eb/No is energy bit over noise density, i.e. is the ratio of the energy per information bit to the power spectral density (of interference and noise) after dispreading. Eb/No = Processing Gain + SIR For example, if Eb/No is 5dB and processing gain is 25dB then the SIR should be -20dB or better. What are the Eb/No targets in your design? The Eb/No targets are dependent on the service: on the uplink, typically CS is 5 to 6dB and PS is 3 to 4dB – PS is about 2dB lower. on the downlink, typically CS has 6 to 7dB and PS is 5 to 6dB – PS is about 1dB lower. Why is Eb/No requirement lower for PS than for CS? PS has a bet...
