In WCDMA, all cells may use the same carrier frequency but different
scrambling codes. This means no frequency planning, but scrambling codeand power planning instead!

Own channel correlates well, i.e. peaks (Signal) Other channels appear as noise (Interference) More users increased interference
Signal (Eb)
Interference (No)
Power need to be adjusted to retain the Signal to Interference Ratio (SIR)I.e. fulfilling the BLER requirements for that specific service

Inter-System Handover
Handover from a CDMA system to an Analog or TDMA systemTraffic and Control Channels are Disconnected and must be Reconnected
Hard Handover
When the MS must change CDMA carrier frequency during the Handover
Traffic and Control Channels are Disconnected and must be Reconnected
Soft Handover
Unique to CDMA
During Handover, the MS has concurrent traffic connections with two BSs
Handover should be less noticeable
Softer Handover
Similar to Soft Handover, but between two sectors of the same cell
Handover is simplified since sectors have identical timing

When a neighboring Pilot Channel reaches the t_add threshold, the newBS is added to the active set
When the original Base Station reaches the t_drop threshold, originatingBase Station is dropped from the active set

The power requirement determines the service coverage in WCDMA users will require different amount of power depending on environment, service, system load
System load or rather intereference will depend on:- Number of users in other/own cells, i.e. other/own average cell power usage- distribution of users and their service usage
