C.5.3 Test Definition for Enhanced Performance Type 3i
This section defines additional test definition for enhanced performance type 3i including: number of interfering cells and their respective powers; transmitted code and power characteristics (OCNS) for serving and interfering cells; and frame offsets for interfering cells. For DC-HSDPA, DB-DC-HSDPA and 4C-HSDPA requirements, the number of interfering cells and their respective powers; transmitted code and power characteristics (OCNS) for serving and interfering cells; and frame offsets for interfering cells shall be the same for each carrier frequency. The transmitted OCNS and data signals shall be independent for each cell.
DIPi = 
where Îorj is the average received power spectral density from the j-th strongest interfering cell (Îor1 is assumed to be the power spectral density associated with the serving cell), and Ioc’ is given by
where Ioc is the average power spectral density of a band limited white noise source consistent with the definition provided in section 3.2.
C.5.3.1 Transmitted code and power characteristics for serving cell
The downlink physical channel code allocations for the serving cell are specified in Table C.14. Ten HS-PDSCH codes have been reserved for the user of interest, based upon the use of QPSK with FRC H-Set 6. The other user codes are selected from 46 possible SF = 128 codes. Note not all 46 of these codes are used, and in addition only 16 codes are used at a given instance in time. Table C.15 summarizes the power allocations of different channels for the serving cell for 50% and 25% HS-PDSCH power allocation. Note the power allocations in the last row of Table C.15 are to be split between the HS-SCCH and the other users’ channels in order to ensure proper operation of the HS-SCCH during testing.
Table C.16 summarizes the channelization codes to be used for the other users channels (OCNS) along with their respective relative power allocations in dB when HS-PDSCH is allocated 25% or 50% of the total power. As shown in Table C.16, there are two groups of 16 codes, which are randomly selected with equal probability on a symbol-by-symbol basis. This random selection is done per code pair, where a code pair occupies the same row, as opposed to selecting all of the codes within group 1 or group 2. This random selection between these two groups is for purposes of modelling a simplified form of DTX. Note that the switching time for the symbols with SF = 64 would be the symbol timing associated with an SF 64 channel, and the switching time for the symbols with SF = 128 would be the symbol timing for SF = 128 channel. Thus, there would be two different symbol times dependent upon the SF. For SF = 64, symbol time ~ 16.67 microseconds, and for SF = 128, symbol time ~ 33.33 microseconds. Each of these users is also power controlled as described in section C.5.3.3.
The scrambling code of the serving cell is set to 0.

Note: The relative level settings specified in dB refer only to the relationship between the OCNS channels. For the serving cell, the sum of the powers of the OCNS channels plus the power allocated to the HS-SCCH must add up to the values specified in the last row of Table C.15. For the interfering cells, the sum of the powers of the OCNS channels must add up to the value shown in the last row of Table C.17.
C.5.3.2 Transmitted code and power characteristics for interfering cells
The downlink physical channel code allocations for the interfering cells are same as for the serving cell as given in Table C.14. The modelling approach for the interfering cells is summarized in Table C.17. The modelling of the other users’ dedicated channels is done in the same way as in the case of the serving cell except that the HSDPA power allocation is fixed at 50% and the total power allocated is not shared with the HS-SCCH. Thus, the two groups of channelization codes defined in Table C.16 apply, along with the specified relative power levels.

The predefined modulation and number of codes are given in Table C.18, with the actual codes selected per the code allocation given in Table C.14. The transmission from each interfering cell is randomly and independently selected every HSDPA TTI among the four options given in Table C.18.
The scrambling codes of the interfering cells are set to 16 and 32, respectively. The frame offsets for the interfering cells are set to 1296 and 2576 chips relative to the serving cell. The scrambling code value of 16 and the frame offset value of 2576 corresponds to the first interfering cell.

C.5.3.3 Model for power control sequence generation
In this section the modelling of power control for the other users’ channels is described. There are two powers that are calculated for each user, I at each slot, n. The first is an interim power calculation, which develops a power 
in dB. The second is the actual applied transmit power, 
in the linear domain, which is normalized such that the total power for all users remains the same as that originally allocated. The interim power calculation is described first followed by the applied, normalized power calculation.
The interim power is varied randomly, either by increasing or decreasing it by 1 dB steps in each slot, i.e.
, where 
(EQ.C.5.3.3.1)
The probability of Δ having a value of +1 for the ith user at time instant n can be determined as
(EQ.C.5.3.3.2)
where, 
is the interim power at time instant n-1 and 
is the initial value given in Table C.16 after conversion to dB for each of the two possible HS-PDSCH power allocations. L is a scaling factor which can be used to determine the range to which the variation of power is confined. The value of L is set to 10, leading to a variance of ~5 dB.
The applied, normalized power is given by
(EQ.C.5.3.3.3)
where 
is the interim power of the user I at time instant n in the linear domain, and 
is the initial value of the ith user’s power also in the linear domain. Each summation is over all 16 possible values for 
and 
where the latter summation is equal to either 0.5551 or 0.3049 for HS-PDSCH allocations of 25% and 50%, respectively, see Table C.16. The total instantaneous output power of the OCNS is now always equal to its allocated power. One other subtle point to note is that at each iteration of interim power generation using (EQ.C.5.3.3.1) that the value of
is set to 
of the previous iteration as opposed to 
of the previous iteration. In summary, two sets of power control sequences are developed using (EQ.C.5.3.3.1) and (EQ.C.5.3.3.3), respectively, where the interim outputs developed by (C.1) are used to develop the applied, normalized values described by (EQ.C.5.3.3.3) and to which the actual channel powers are set.
C.5.4 Simplified Multi Carrier HSDPA testing method
For DC-HSDPA, DB-DC-HSDPA or 4C-HSDPA tests which require more than 8 independent faders, the resulting propagation channel(s) shall be generated by considering a number of independent faders needed for one carrier and connecting them to the signal of randomly chosen carrier(s). The maximum number of channel faders on the test will be less than or equal to 8. The remaining carrier(s) shall be connected without a channel fader but with AWGN. The throughput shall be collected only for the carrier(s) connected to channel faders.
The test shall be repeated by choosing carrier(s) excluding already chosen carrier(s) until all the carrier(s) are tested under fading conditions. The sum of all the collected throughputs from each carrier shall be compared against the reference value in the requirements.
All supported carriers shall be configured and activated during the test.
C.5.4A Simplified Multiflow HSDPA testing method

The maximum number of channel faders on the test will be less than or equal to 8. The remaining carrier(s) shall be connected without a channel fader but with AWGN.

C.5.5 Test Definition for Multiflow HSDPA

The frame offsets of the assisting serving HS-DSCH cell is set to 2560 chips and that of the interfering cell is set to 1296 chips relative to the serving HS-DSCH cell.
