Similarity:
− 1. To avoid frequently changes of signal level, the PC
interval time between the two consecutive uplink and
downlink power control are limited.
− 2. To reduce the influence caused by abnormal reports,
all measurement reports should be filtered.
− 3. Both uplink and downlink power controls include
level-specific and quality-specific power controls.
− 4. Both uplink and downlink power controls have
maximum power control step size limit and
compensating factor.
Differentia:
− 1. Including power control for the stable status, MS also
has power control when MS access the network, thus to
reduce transmitting power of MS as soon as possible.
− 2. For uplink, precautions are ready for increase MS
transmitting power in case HO fails.
− 3. For downlink, there are maximum and minimum
transmitting power limits in power control data
configuration.
Given conditions:
− 900M MS transmitting at the maximum power, uplink rec
eiving level of the 900M BTS is –60dBm, uplink quality l
evel is always 0.
− Parameter configuration in [BTS power/MS power contr
ol table] is as follows – “stable RX_LEV Expected” is 35,
“UL RX_LEV Compensation” is 80, “UL Qual. expected ”
is 1, and “UL Qual. compensation” is 20, and the max. P
C step is 16dB.
Question:
− 1. Suppose that power control will no longer be done
once the power value to be adjusted is less than 2dB,
what is the approximate stable power value after power
control with the above data configuration?
− 2. According to the error tolerance list, suppose the
initial MS transmitting power is level 3, what is the
maximum uplink receiving level in stable status after
power control?

Purpose
− to avoid power control later than needed, the delay is dangerous in
case of poor level or bad quality
Implementation procedure
− 1. Analyze the tendency of MR by the historical measurement
reports after interpolation.
− 2. Guide by the tendency, to predict the values of measurement
report to be received. There are 0~3 measurement reports
prediction, which are configured on OMC.
− 3. Filter the interpolated, compensated and predicted measurement
reports, and implement power control judgment.

MAX Down Adj. This parameter specifies the maximum downward 0~30dB 4
value Qual. power adjustment value when the Rx quality is
zone 2 equal to or more than 3.
MAX Down Adj. The adjustment step allowed for the downward 0~4dB 4
PC Value by power control due to receiving signal quality.

UL Qual. Bad In uplink power control, when the receiving quality 0~7 5
TrigThrsh of uplink is not less than this start threshold, the
actual "upper threshold of signal strength of uplink"
will be added with "upper threshold offset of level
when the receiving quality of uplink is poor" in the
data configuration. Thus, the expected level in
uplink power control can be increased furthermore.
UL Qual. Bad In uplink power control, when the receiving quality is 0~63dB 0
UpLEVDiff not less than "start threshold when the receiving
quality of uplink is poor", the actual "upper threshold
of signal strength of uplink" will be added with this
offset value.
Given conditions:
− The uplink receiving level is -85dBm, the quality is level 4. Power
control algorithm is HW II.
− Data configuration is as follows: Uplink signal level upper
threshold: -60dBm, uplink signal level lower threshold: - 80dBm.
Uplink signal upper quality threshold: level 0. Uplink signal lower
quality threshold: level 2. The adjustable step size of quality band
0 is 16dB, of quality band 1 is 8dB, and of quality 2 is 4 dB. The
adjustable step size for power control by quality is 4dB.
Question: What will be the uplink stable receiving level after power
control?
Answer.
− First, transmitting power to be added according to receiving level =
(uplink signal level upper threshold + uplink signal level lower thres
hold)/2-actual receiving level = (-60 + (-80))/2-(-85) = (-70)-(-85)
= 15dB. As the receiving quality is level 4, only adjustable step siz
e of quality band 2 can be used -- increase 4dB.
− Second, the transmitting power to be increased according to receivi
ng quality = as “power control adjustment step size by quality” is 4d
B, thus increase 4dB, the same as adjustment by signal level.
− Therefore, according to the general judgement on power control, 4
dB should be increased for adjustment either by level or by quality.
Answer .
− After the implementation of step 1 power control, the receiving
level becomes: -85dBm + 4dB=-81dBm, Suppose the quality reach
already in level 2 here, it still fails within the expected band -
80dBm~-60dBm. Therefore, it needs to be adjusted.
− First: adjust by level -- repeat the previous step: adjustment by level
= (-70) – (-81) = 11db, i.e. to increase 11dB. If the receiving quality
has been improved to level 2, and the adjustable step size with
quality band 1 is 8dB. Then, the result of adjustment by level is to
increase 8dB.
− Second: adjustment by quality--as the receiving quality value is
between 0 and 2, Needn’t adjust.
− Therefore, the uplink stable receiving level = (-81) + 8 = -73dBm.
