1. During handover, MS will access the target cell with the maximum transmitting
power (associated with handover command) allowed by the target cell. But if “MS
power prediction after HO” is enabled, then MS will use the optimized power to
access the target cell.

2. During intra-cell handover, the current power will be retained.

3. Power control can be implemented on TCH carriers only, BCCH carrier is not
allowed power control. Because MS needs to measure the receiving level of BCCH
from the adjacent cell. It will be inaccurate when power control is performed on BCCH.

4. Power control is performed independently for each channel.

[UL PC Allowed]
 Value Range: Yes, No
 Description: This parameter indicates whether the adjustment of MS power is
allowed.
 Remarks: In GSM900 cells, the power control level of an MS is from 0 to 19
(totally 20 levels). Generally, the maximum power control level supported by
the MS is 5 (mapping to 33 dBm), and the minimum power control level
supported by the MS is 19 (mapping to 5 dBm). The other power control levels
are reserved for high-power MSs. In GSM900 cells or DCS1800 cells, the
power control level of an MS is from 0 to 31 (totally 32 levels). Generally, the
maximum power control level supported by the MS is 0 (mapping to 30 dBm),
and the minimum power control level supported by the MS is 15 (mapping to 2
dBm). The other power control levels are reserved for high-power MSs.

[DL PC Allowed]

When MS accesses the network via RACH channel, its transmitting power is the “MS
max. TX power level”, which is gotten from the system information on BCCH. MS
sends the first message on dedicated channel also uses the “MS max TX power
level” ,this is not under the control of the system before the power control command
which is carried on SACCH of SDCCH or TCH. The implementation procedure is as
following:

1. According to the uplink receiving level and receiving quality reported by BTS, and
considering the maximum transmitting power of MS, BSC calculates the proper
transmitting power for the MS.

2. Power control command and the TA value will be transmitted to MS at layer 1
header carried by each downlink SACCH block.

3. MS receives the power control command carried by SACCH header at the end of
each SACCH report period, Then MS will carry out the command in the beginning of
next report period. MS can change power 2dB per 13 frames (60ms) maximum.

4. After MS executed the power control command, it will set the current power class at
the layer 1 message header of the next uplink SACCH, and transmit it to BTS in the
measurement report. Therefore, it will take 3 measurement report periods for the new
power class (in each power control command) to be available.

Note: Each integral SACCH message block (measurement report) is composed of 4
burst. A power control implementation process in whole takes the time of 3
measurement reports.

[MR Preprocessing]
 Value Range: BSC_Preprocessing , BTS_Preprocessing
 Description: This parameter indicates whether the BTS pre-processes the MR.
 This parameter determines the location where power control is
performed. If this parameter is set to BTS_Preprocessing, power
control is performed by the BTS. Otherwise, the power control is
performed by the BSC.
 When this parameter is BSC_Preprocessing, the MR is processed by
the BSC, in which case, both Transfer original MR, Transfer BS/MS
power class and Sent Freq of preprocessed MR are invalid.
 When this parameter is BTS_Preprocessing, the load over Abis
interface and that over the BSC are reduced, thus shortening the
response time and improving the network performance.

[Transfer Original MR]
 Value Range: Yes, No
 Description: This parameter indicates whether the original MR is transferred to
the BSC after the BTS pre-processes the MR.
When the parameter is set to Yes, the BTS transfers to the BSC both
the processed MR and the original MR.
 Remarks:In case of 4:1 configuration, this parameter must be set to No if
SDCCH/8 is greater than 2.

[Transfer BS/MS Power Class]

 Value Range: Yes, No
 Description: This parameter indicates whether the original BS/MS power class
is transferred to the BSC.
 Remarks:When MR pre-processing is enabled, uplink and downlink balance
measurement is affected if this parameter is set to No. In addition, power
compensation handovers, such as PBGT handovers, load handovers, and
Concentric Cell handovers, may become abnormal.

[Sent Freq of Preprocessed MR]
 Value Range: Do not Report, Twice every second, Once every second, Once
every two seconds, Once every four seconds
 Description: This parameter indicates the frequency that the BTS transfers the
preprocessed MR to the BSC. After the MR is preprocessed by BTS, the BTS
transfers the preprocessed MR to the BSC. For example, if this parameter is
set to Twice every second, the BTS transfers the preprocessed MR to the
BSC twice per 0.5 second.

HWII power control is performed in four steps.

1.Pre-processing of the measurement reports (interpolation, compensation, prediction
and filter),

2. Calculate power control demand according to the receiving level,

3. Calculate power control demand according to the receiving quality,

4. Make comprehensive judgment on the receiving level and receiving quality.

Besides interpolation and filter, HWII has compensation and forecast functions before

[Allowed MR Number Lost]

 Value Range: 0~31
 Description: This parameter indicates the number of MRs allowed to be lost in
succession. When this threshold is not reached, the lost MR is estimated via
the linear interpolation basing on the first and the last MRs received. When
this threshold is reached, all previous MRs are discarded, and calculations are
made again when new MRs are received.
 Remarks: MRs fail to be decoded correctly when the signal strength in the
serving cell is poor. When this threshold is reached, all previous MRs are
discarded and handover may fail. Thus, it is advised to assign this parameter
with a greater value to enable emergency handover.

When system makes a power control judgment, the power control module will extract
the values of receiving level and receiving quality from several history measurement
reports for filter. In these measurement reports,MS or BTS maybe use different
transmitting power. Therefore, to ensure the accuracy of receiving level values used
for filter, compensation should be made for receiving level values in history
measurement report whose history transmitting power is different from the current
transmitting power.

[MR Compensation Allowed]

 Value Range: Yes, No
 Description: If this parameter is set to Yes, the BSC or BTS puts the received
measurement reports in the measurement report compensation queue. Then
record the change of transmit power based on the MS power and the BTS
power in the measurement report . After values are added in the measurement
report, compensate the received level value in the historical measurement
report based on the change of power.
 Remarks: If measurement reports are preprocessed on the BTS side, the BTS
performs the compensation of the measurement reports. If measurement
reports are preprocessed on the BSC side, the BSC performs the
compensation of the measurement reports.

After the power control module send the power control command, due to the
propagation delay and power control process delay, the transmitting power will
usually be executed after several measurement report periods. This delay will affect
the validity of power control. In order to make up some influence of power control
delay, the prediction for measurement reports should be adopted so that the power
control command will perform a little earlier.

[UL MR Number Predicted]

 Value Range: 0~3
 Description: After the BSC delivers the power control command, it will be a period
before the BSC receives an acknowledgement message. Therefore, the
measurement reports that provide basis for power control decision cannot mirror the
radio environment that the BTS is in during power adjustment. The measurement
reports lag behind the changes in the MS received level and in the MS received
signal quality. Thus the power adjustment is delayed.To compensate the hysteresis
of power adjustment, the prediction and filtering function is added to the power
control algorithm. In other words, in a short period of time, the BSC samples several
uplink measurement reports and performs weighted filtering, predicting N
measurement reports after the current time. This parameter indicates the number of
uplink measurement reports predicted by the BSC. The value of the parameter
equals the previous number N.

[DL MR. Number Predicted]

When power control is performed based on the receiving level, it adopts three step
sizes respectively for different receiving qualities band:

“MAX. Down Adj. Value for Qual. Zone 0 (receiving quality level 0)

“MAX. Down Adj. Value for Qual. Zone 1 (receiving quality level 1~2)

“MAX. Down Adj. Value for Qual. Zone 2 (receiving quality level 3~7)

The worse the quality, the shorter the allowable step size.

Note:

1.Control as required when either level or quality needs to be controlled.

AdjStep_A
 If uplink or downlink RXLEV - AdjStep_Qul < lower threshold of uplink or
downlink RXLEV, AdjStep_A = 0. No adjustment is required.
 If uplink or downlink RXLEV - AdjStep_Qul ≥ lower threshold of uplink or
downlink RXLEV, AdjStep_A = AdjStep_Qul.

The purpose is to avoid the power control request when the RXQUAL is good and the
RXLEV requires no power control. If power control is made, the RXLEV may become
worse and request for power control again, thus leading to frequent power control.

AdjStep_B
 If AdjStep_Qul + uplink or downlink RXLEV > upper threshold of uplink or
downlink RXLEV, AdjStep_B = upper threshold of uplink or downlink RXLEV –
uplink or downlink RXLEV.
 If AdjStep_Qul + uplink or downlink RXLEV <= upper threshold of uplink or
downlink RXLEV, AdjStep_B = AdjStep_Qul.

The purpose is to avoid the power control request due to bad RXQUAL when the
RXLEV requires no power control. If power control is made, the RXLEV may become
too good and request for power control again, thus leading to frequent power control.

2. When the controls based on signal level and quality are in an opposite direction,
and the level requires decreasing power, so no action should be performed for power
control; when the level requires increasing power, then just perform as level required.

3. When they work in the same direction, perform according to the larger value.

Automatic adjustable step size:

When the power control caused by receiving level in HWII power control algorithm,
the power control will be performed also considering the receiving quality which are
set into three quality zones (0, 1~2, ≥3). Each quality zone allow different maximum
adjustment step size. The worse the quality is, the less the adjustable step size will be.

If the maximum step size allowed for power control is set too small, the algorithm can
not achieve the purpose of power control as soon as possible; when set it too big, it
will decrease the validity of power control.

The step size is fixed when the power should be changed according to receiving
quality.

 Description: The step of power control is determined by UL RX_LEV Upper
Threshold and UL RX_LEV Lower Thrsh. If the uplink signal strength is within
the range from UL RX_LEV Upper Threshold to UL RX_LEV Lower Thrsh,
power control on the MS is not performed. If the uplink signal strength is
beyond the range, power control on the MS is performed.If the signal level
exceeds this threshold, the BSC calculates a decreased value:(Received
Level of the MSC UL RX_LEV Upper Threshold + UL RX_LEV Lower
Thrsh)/2)Compare the decreased value and the maximum adjustment step
permitted by the quality zone where the receive signal quality resides( MAX
Down Adj. Value Qual. Zone 0,MAX Down Adj. Value Qual. Zone 1,MAX
Down Adj. Value Qual. Zone 2) and MAX Down Adj. PC Value by Qual. Set
the minimum value to the power adjustment step of the MS.
 Remarks: If the value of this parameter is too great, the uplink level becomes
high without power control. Thus, the battery life is reduced, more network
interference is caused. If the value of this parameter is too small, the uplink
level becomes low, and call drop may easily occur. The value of this

A number of MRs are discarded at the early stage of channel establishment in

Huawei II power control algorithm and Huawei III power control algorithm. After the
filtering is performed, the BSC issue the power control command. Thus, the power
control may be late at the initial stage of the channel establishment. In this case, the
BTS and MS transmit at full power, thus increasing the power consumption and the
interference.

In the active power control algorithm, the BSC estimates the uplink power and the
downlink power through the path loss. Then, the BSC issues the power control
command through the channel activation message.

At present, the active power control algorithm is used in the assignment procedure
during normal call and channel assignment procedure during the intra-BSC handover.

At the initial stage of the power control, several MRs may be discarded. After the
active power control function is enable, BTS and MS do not transmit at full power. In
this case, if the inaccurate power prediction can not be adjusted in time, the link
quality may become worse, and result in call drop. Therefore, the power control
strategy “only increasing, no decreasing” is used instead of the original strategy
discarding MRs. If increasing power is required, BSC will issue the power control
command, while if decreasing power is required, BSC will not issue the power control
command.

Only in Huawei III power control algorithm, the power control strategy “only increasing,
no decreasing” is used instead of the original strategy discarding MRs, while there is
no such coordination between Huawei II power control algorithm and the active power
control.
