Background- What's Challenge?
•PUCCH Inner Loop Power Control in eRAN 8.0 is only based on the SINR&RSRP of Fmt 1a/1b (i.e., ACK channel).
•But the interference of Fmt 2a/2b(i.e., CQI/PMI/RI channel) may be higher than Fmt 1a/1b, this leads to the decreas
e of the SINR of Fmt 2a/2b and impairs the performance of Fmt 2a2/b.
•As a result, CQI-feedback performance and downlink throughput may degrades.

PUCCH Format introduction(See 3GPP 36.213)

PUCCH
PUCCH Format Definition
Format
1-bit HARQ-ACK or in case of FDD for 1-bit
1a
HARQ-ACK with positive SR
PUCCH 2a/2b 2-bit HARQ-ACK or for 2-bit HARQ-ACK with
1b
positive SR
1 positive SR
a CQI/PMI or a RI report when not multiplexed
2
PUCCH 1a/1b with HARQ-ACK
a CQI/PMI or a RI report multiplexed with 1-bit
2a
HARQ-ACK for normal cyclic prefix
a CQI/PMI or a RI report multiplexed with 2-bit
2b
HARQ-ACK for normal cyclic prefix

Background- Why interference of Format 2x is higher?
UE-B without downlink data , constantly Interferes on

• For UE-B CQI Report Periodically

› Without DL transmission , there is no PUCCH Fmt1x Notes ： HARQ ACK

transmission, so UE-B interferes Cell-A only on PUCCH › Shorter inter station distance leads to higher
Fmt2x.
interference
• For UE-A › More users with sparse downlink data leads
› Without interference on PUCCH Fmt1x ， UE-A wouldn’t to higher interference
increase PUCCH power, PUCCH Fmt2x performance may
be influenced.

Solutions Introduction
PUCCH Outer Loop Power Control:
eRAN8.1 adjust the SINR Target of Fmt 1a/1b according to the BER(Bit Error Rate) of Fmt
2x base on PUCCH Inner Loop Power Control. Performance of Fmt2x is considered in PU
CCH power control process;
