The power control loop terminates when every BS broadcast power converges and traffic channel power level for every user is calculated. Therefore, both the BS output power and the success rate for the cell of interest (center cell in Figure 198) can be calculated. BS output power is the sum of the power in pilot, overhead and all traffic channels. Success rate is the percentage of calls that do not suffer quality degradation. The following process can be used to calculate both output metrics:
