Purpose of Power Control
 Compensate path loss , including shadow fading and multiple

path fading
 Reduce interference on the edge cell
Power Control Features in eNodeB
 Downlink power control:
 There is no uplink power control command, so DL power
control is more like dynamic power allocation
 Uplink power control

 Including open loop, closed loop and inner loop power control.
1 bit or 2 bits power control command is defined for closed loop
and inner loop power control
Strategy for Algorithm
Algorithm Strategy Reason
PHICH dynamic Disabled PHICH carry HARQ feedback which
power adjustment requires high accuracy, and default power
could guarantee it. And it is not necessary to
reduce PHICH power because it occupies
very less resource.
PDCCH dynamic Enabled To reduce the service drop rate and
power adjustment increase the throughput for
CEUs.
PDSCH dynamic Disabled Turning on this switch may waste RB
power adjustment resources in multi-UE scenarios. This will
bring negative gains to cell throughput and
increase overall interference on the entire
network.
All uplink power Enabled Reduce UE power as low as possible
control Improve performance for cell edge user

 The PHICH occupies very few resources, which means decreasing its
transmit power cannot significantly reduce power consumption. In
addition, the PHICH carries the ACK/NACK messages for the uplink
data, which requires high accuracy. Decreasing the transmit power of
the PHICH may reduce accuracy and uplink data rate. Therefore, the
dynamic power allocation is not recommended in commercial
network.

 The PUCCH carries the ACK/NACK information, CQIs, and
schedule request (SR) information related to downlink data. When
the probability of incorrect demodulation on the PUCCH is high,
user throughput is severely affected.

PUCCH performance and reduce the interference to neighboring
cells.

for DCI0, DCI3 or DCI3A, that means PUSCH power control works
Check PUCCH Configuration
 We can check all the PUSCH power parameters from SIB2
PUCCH Power Control Verification
 As all DCI could be used for PUCCH power control, so it is difficult to
verify the PUCCH power control from DCI statistic
 We can monitor PUCCH SINR to verify PUCCH power control. When
UE moves, if SINR is convergence with target value (16dB), it
indicate PUCCH power control works.
