The aim of uplink Inner Loop Power Control is to maintain all

connections at a sufficiently good SIR value. The use of uplink

Inner Loop Power Control by all UEs reduces the total amount of
radiated power in the network. This means that uplink interference
in the network is reduced and UE battery life increased.
In the downlink Inner Loop Power Control is used to minimize the
transmission power of the RBS and hence increase capacity.
For example, if UE1 moves towards the cell and therefore does
not require as much downlink power, and sends a reduce power
command to RBS allowing this saving in power to be used for
other connections.
On the other hand if UE2 moves away from the cell it would suffers
a higher path loss and requires more downlink power. This power
increase is requested by sending a increase power command to
the RBS.
