Huawei CE Definitionand Highlights
• No need extra CE resource for CCH
--- reserved CE resource for CCH
• No need extra CE resource for TX diversity
• Definition of a CE: A Channel Element is the base band resource required
in the Node-B to provide capacity for one voice channel, including control
plane signaling, compressed mode, transmit diversity and softer handover.
Huawei Confidential Page 26
• No need extra CE resource for TX diversity
• No need extra CE resource for Compressed Mode
--- reserved resources for Compressed Mode
• No need extra CE resource for Softer HO
• HSDPA does not occupy R99 CE resource
--- separate chipset module for HSDPA traffic processing
