1.5.11 WCDMA/GERAN: Power
and Network
Optimizations – Frame
Early Termination for Power
Optimization
With pragmatic reception approach,
decode partial TTI and terminate frame
early to reduce power consumption
1.5.12 WCDMA/GERAN:
Protocols – MRAB-Pack-1
Enhancements
These UE enhancements will reduce
Multi-RAB Call Drops. The following
optimizations are planned under
MRAB-Pack-1: 1) Configuration of the
minimum set of TFCs: Optimize the way
that PS-only TFCs are selected for UL
transmission in power limited conditions(2
flavors) 1-EUL) Smart application of
minimum E-TFCI : Optimize utilization of
Minimum E-TFCI in power limited
conditions 4) MRAB Back-off: Preventing,
or reducing the establishment of data
connections on top of existing voice
connections in power limited conditions 6)
TVM Back-off : Blocking traffic volume
events (Event 4a) for MRAB calls in power
limited conditions

1.6.7 E-FDPCH E-FDPCH Rel-7 enhancement to the
Rel-6 FDPCH (fractional DPCH) in soft
handover scenarios; fractional DPCH was
added in Rel-6 to optimize the
consumption of downlink channelization
codes - Allowing more users to share the
channel
1.6.8 Enhanced L2 Support for flexible sized PDUs at RLC DL
and PDU segmentation at MAC-HS level,
on the HSDPA downlink to allow for higher
data rates in Rel-7
1.6.9 CPC-DTX Allows for breaks in transmission during
