Overview
Objective

Improve cell edge behaviour, reduce inter-cell interference and power consumption.
DL ‘semi-static’ power setting
• eNodeB gives fixed power density per PRB scheduled for transport.
– Total Tx power is max. when all PRBs are scheduled
– No adaptive/dynamic power control
– (O&M parameter) Cell Power Reduction level CELL_PWR_RED [0...10] dB
attenuation in 0.1 dB steps
– DL PC on PDCCH

UL: Slow uplink Power Control


• Combination of open loop PC and closed loop PC
• Open loop PC
– Calculated at the UE based on pathloss measurements
• Closed loop PC
– Based on exchange of feedback data and commands between UE and eNodeB
– SW-licensed enhancement ( can be switched on and off)

Overview
Procedure for Slow UL Power control
• UE controls the Tx power to keep the transmitted power spectral density (PSD)
constant independent of the allocated transmit bandwidth (#PRBs)

• If no feedback from eNodeB ( in the PDCCH UL PC command) the UE performs


open loop PC based on path loss measurements

• If feedback from eNodeB the UE corrects the PSD when receiving PC commands
from eNodeB ( in the PDCCH UL PC command)
 PC commands ( up and down) based on UL quality and signal level measurements

• Applied separately for PUSCH, PUCCH


• Scope of UL PC is UE level ( performed separately for each UE in a cell)
2) SINR measurment
4) TX power level
3) Setting new power offset
adjustment with the new
offset
1) Initial TX power level

Main target of DL-PC-CCH

• DL Power Control for PDCCH is an additional mechanism interacting with


DL AMC for PDCCH in order to make the signaling as robust as possible
• DL-PC-CCH aims at 1% target BLER but cannot modify AGG assignments
• Main actions performed by DL-PC-CCH
– Power reduction on CCEs with assigned AGG level higher than required (or equal)
– Power boosting on CCEs with assigned AGG level lower than required
– Equal power relocation among all scheduled CCEs

• Macro cell case #1


 Very good CCEs (CQI highly
• Uniform UE distribution
above 1% BLER target)
 Bad CCEs (AGG level too high to
meet 1% BLER target)
 If still some power available,
relocate equally among all CCEs

Principles of DL-PC-AMC

• PDCCH Power Control can be enabled/disabled by O&M switch


• Maximum transmit power of the Power Amplifier cannot be exceeded (pMax; O&M)
• Reduction and boosting range is strictly defined and is always considered as the limit for
power level modification
• DL-PC-CCH operates together with DL-AMC-CCH on TTI basis
• DCI messages with more than one CCE (AGG-…>1) have a flat PSD,
thus all CCEs belonging to one scheduled UE are transmitted with the same power
