Abstract:
Methods of providing power overload control in a communication system having a least one base station serving one or more users of at least one cell are described which may avoid an overload condition in the system. In one aspect, a target signal-to-interference ratio (SIR target ) may be controlled for inner loop power control implemented by the base station, so as to maintain the loading of the communication system below an overload condition. In another aspect, a target block error rate (BLER target ) may be controlled for outer loop power control implemented by the base station, so as to maintain the loading of communication system below an overload condition.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a system and method for testing mobile communications in a High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) mobile communications network by generating one or more virtual users. Specifically, a high speed downlink shared channel is scheduled for a user (e.g., a real user or a virtual user) in a plurality of users. One or more network resources are then allocated by a virtual user executable module to the high speed downlink shared channel for a virtual user in the plurality of users.
