Power Control Overview

 Power control includes uplink power control and downlink


power control, Which are performed independently
 Uplink power control: Adjust TX power of MS to let BTS
receive stable signal, reduce the uplink co-channel and
adjacent channel interference, reduce power consumption
of MS.
 Downlink power control: Adjust BTS TX power to let MS
receive stable signal, reduce the downlink co-channel and

 Comparison uplink and downlink of HW I power control .

 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.

 Comparison uplink and downlink of HW I power control .

 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.

Exercise

 HW I power control exercise

 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?

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. All rights reserved Page 25


Exercise
 HW I power control exercise

 Answers for question 1:


− Stable level = current actual level + [(expected signal intensity in sta
ble status – current actual level) * uplink path loss compensating fact
or] + [actual current quality – expected uplink signal quality) * 10 * u
plink quality compensating factor] = -60+[(-75-(-60))*80 % ]+[(0-1)*1
0*20 % ] = -60-12-2 = -74dBm. Now it’s necessary to adjust -14d
B (no larger than the maximum power control step size), but it needs
further adjustment because it fails to reach -75dBm, the “expected si
gnal level in stable status”. Use -74 in the above formula again for c
alculation, and the power to be adjusted is -2.8dB. Because no pow
er control adjustment will be done when the power value to be adjust
ed is smaller than -2, it still needs to be changed 2dB lower, so the u
plink receiving level is -76dBm at last.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. All rights reserved Page 26


Exercise

 Answers for question 2:


− Query the error tolerance table, the tolerance of level 3
is 4dB, the power to be adjusted for the second time is
2.8, which is less than 4 and up to the requirement, so
the final uplink receiving level is -74dBm in stable
status.

− The uplink receiving level is -85dBm, the quality is level 4. Power

− Data configuration is as follows: Uplink signal level upper

Uplink signal upper quality threshold: level 0. Uplink signal lower
quality threshold: level 2. The adjustable step size of quality band

adjustable step size for power control by quality is 4dB.
 Question: What will be the uplink stable receiving level after power
control?

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. All rights reserved Page 48


Exercise
 Exercises for HW II 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.
