Description of The measurement power offset (MPO):

The TBSIZE, number of HS-PDSCH channelization codes, modulation mode, and power selection are closely related
to CQI, and the target BLER of a UE at the time when CQI is generated is 10%. However, the CQI reported by
various manufacturers are inaccurate due to implementation differences or measurement errors, and must be
corrected. The UE reports CQI and ACK information, then the Node B decodes the two values and adjusts the
target CQI in accordance with the ACK value, in other words, the Node B performs outer loop adjustment for the
CQI reported by the UE to minimize the impact due to measurement errors and implementation differences
among different manufacturers.

The HSDPA CQI adjustment algorithm is described as follows:

The CQI offset of a UE is initialized to 0. The MAC-hs TB decoding results are accumulated. The CQI offset of UE
increases by 0.01 every time the ACK signal is detected, and decreases by 0.09 every time the NACK signal is
detected. The adjusted CQI is obtained by adding the CQI reported by the UE to the CQI offset of the UE.
Adjusted CQI= UE CQI+ CQI offset of the UE

The TBSIZE, number of channelization codes, modulation mode, and reference power adjustment can be obtained
by querying the CQI mapping table for UE categories provided in TS 25.214 based on the adjusted CQI.

For the purpose of CQI reporting, the UE shall assume a total received HS-PDSCH power of

𝑃𝐻𝑆𝑃𝐷𝑆𝐶𝐻 = 𝑃𝐶𝑃𝐼𝐶𝐻 + 𝜞 + 𝜟

Where

𝑃𝐻𝑆𝑃𝐷𝑆𝐶𝐻 Refers to the receive power of the pilot channel (unit: dBm) P-CPICH.

𝜞 Refers to the Measurement Power Offset (MeasPwrOffset) configured for NBAP signaling.

𝜟 Refers to the reference power adjustment obtained after querying the CQI mapping table for UE categories
(unit: dB).

Example:-

If the UE category is 8, Γ is set to 6dB, and the adjusted CQI is 27, the following information is obtained by
querying the CQI mapping table for UE categories:

We can get:


TBSIZE: 14411 bits
number of HS-PDSCHs: 10
modulation mode: 16QAM
is -2dB

𝑃𝐻𝑆𝑃𝐷𝑆𝐶𝐻 =33 dBm then HS-PDSCH power is 37 dBm (33 + 6 - 2).

If the number of available HS-PDSCH channelization codes in a cell is not less than 10, the available power is not
less than 37 dBm, and the UE data volume to be scheduled is larger than 14411, then, TBSIZE is 14411, the number
of HS-PDSCH channelization codes is 10, the modulation mode is 16QAM, the power is 37dBm, and the data to be
scheduled of the UE is transmitted.
The above example is supposed in an ideal situation. In practice, code, power and data volume may be insufficient
for the CQI mapping table requirement. On the other hand, UEs are scheduled in a descending order of relative
priorities in one TTI. The UEs with higher relative priorities are guaranteed to have sufficient resources, and the
code and power resources in a cell are used up as much as possible when the system selects the number of HS-
PDSCH channelization codes and power for a UE. As shown in the following figure, suppose the UE categories, Γ
configurations and CQIs of two UEs are identical, for example: UE category: 8; Γ: 6 dB; adjusted CQI: 27, and the to-
be-scheduled data volume is sufficient. The number of HS-PDSCH channelization codes is 15, and the available
power of the cell is 6 W. 10 HS-PDSCH channelization codes and 5 W power are used for scheduling of the first UE,
and the remaining resource includes five HS-PDSCH channelization codes and 1 W power. In this case, the available
TBSIZE for the second UE decreases to 4664. The CQI mapping extension table contains the number of
channelization codes, modulation mode, TBSIZE, and Es/No. For example, suppose the number of channelization
codes is 10 and modulation mode is 16QAM, then the corresponding TBSIZE and Es/No table entries are listed in
the following table.

TBSIZE Es/No
6554 14.56
7041 15
7430 15.36
7840 15.62
8272 15.89
8729 16.19
9047 16.39
9546 16.71
9894 16.94
10440 17.42
11017 17.93
11625 18.46
12048 18.78
12713 19.26
13177 19.6
13904 20.12
14411 20.5
Assume that the power meets the requirement during UE scheduling, and Es/No is calculated in
accordance with the following formula:
Es/No = -4.5 + CQI + 

So for previous example we get the required power was 30 dBm of second UE where 1 st power was 37 dBm and 10
codes 16-QAM modulation TBs 14411 and Es/No =20.5.

For 2nd UE there is 7 dB reductions then new Es/No =20.5-7=13.5

So from last equation CQI=Es/No+4.5-

Then CQI=18 where delta become zero then we can get the rest of information from category 8 table TBs will be
4664 and power 30 dBm and code 5 channels.

If CQI is 27, then the value of Es/No is 20.5. TBSIZE, which is 14411, is obtained by querying the CQI mapping
extension table based on the number of channelization codes (10) and modulation mode (16QAM). The power
required in this case is 37 dBm.
If the power is insufficient, for example, if it is only 36 dBm, Es/No needs to be adjusted to (20.5 – 1), that is, 19.5.
Suppose the number of channelization codes is 10, TBSIZE and Es/No, which are 12713 and 19.26 respectively, are
obtained by querying the CQI mapping extension table. Then, the HS-PDSCH power is calculated in accordance
with the following formula: HS-PDSCH power = 36 – (19.5 – 19.26) = 35.76 dBm

If the number of available channelization codes is insufficient, the corresponding TBSIZE and Es/No can
be obtained by querying the CQI mapping extension table based on the number of available
channelization codes and UE Es/No. Then, the HS-PDSCH power is calculated in accordance with
Es/No.

If the to-be-scheduled data volume of UE is less than the selected TBSIZE, continue querying the CQI
mapping extension table and lower TBSIZE until it is slightly larger than the to-be-scheduled data volume
of the UE according to the HS-PDSCH power (Es/No), the number of channelization codes and the
modulation by the above steps.

The principle of querying the CQI mapping extension table is described as follows:
Firstly, based on the fixed modulation and fixed number of channelization codes, query for TBSIZE
through decreasing the HS-PDSCH power. If there is no suitable TBSIZE, then continue querying the CQI
mapping extension table after decreasing the number of channelization codes. If there is no suitable
TBSIZE yet, continue querying the CQI mapping extension table after decreasing the modulation mode,
for example, decrease 64QAM to 16QAM, or decrease 16QAM to QPSK.
