Power Control and Prediction in

Mobile Communications Systems


 Power control schemes are often applied in
mobile communications systems
– To keep the received power of each mobile user at
base station as equal as possible
 Three purposes
– Overcomes ’near-far’ effect (without power control)
– Prolongs battery lifetime in mobile users
– Maximize overall user capability

Conventional Power Control in
Mobile Communications Systems
 Radio channels are nonlinear and time-
varying
– Deep fadings caused are harmful to power
regulation
 Conventional feedback power control
method suffers from slow response and
large overshoots (accurate prediction is
necessry)
– Compensation commands are delayed

Conventional Power Control in
Mobile Communications Systems
 Conventional ’bang-bang’ power control
always yields large overshoot, long rise time,
and large steady state error
 Fuzzy power control schemes utilize some
priori knowledge of the dynamics of the fading
channels
 Fuzzy power controllers provide better
performance

Fuzzy Filtering
 Conventional filters, such as FIR and IIR, always
introduce some delays in signal processing
 FIR and IIR filters are not efficient in nonlinear
signal filtering
 Fuzzy filters can combine numerical and
linguistic information [Wang1993]
– Numerical information from input/output data
– Linguistic information from experts
 Fuzzy filters are adaptive and predictive filters

Fuzzy Power Command Enhancement in
Mobile Communications Systems [Gao1997]
 Power commands in real cellular
communications systems are always
transferred in single-bit mode
– Multi-bit transmission mode is not
practical
 Single-bit transmission causes delays in
power control response
 Fuzzy logic is employed to generate
enhanced power commands

Fuzzy Power Command Enhancement Unit
 Fuzzy power command enhancement unit is
applied in the mobile station
 Fuzzy rules are derived based on four principles:
– If mobile station receives consecutive large power commands,
enhanced power command should also be large
– If mobile station receives consecutive small power commands,
enhanced power command should also be small
– If mobile station receives consecutive increasing power commands,
enhanced power command should be more increased
– If the mobile station receives consecutive decreasing power
commands, enhanced power command should be more decreased
