1.1 Overview
The Huawei II power control algorithm is divided into the following three parts:
1. MR processing
2. Power control decision
3. Power control performance

1.2 MR Processing
The MR processing is categorized into the following four parts:
MR Compensation interpolation
MR Compensation
MR discarding at the initial stage
Prediction MR filtering
Page 3
NO
End
The processing of the MRs involves interpolation processing and filtering processing. The
processing can be performed either on the BSC side or on the BTS side. In the BSC6000
LMT, set MR Preprocessing to Yes, then you can set the parameters Transfer Original
MR, Transfer BS/MS Power Class, and Sent Freq of Preprocessed MR. These
parameters specify the contents of the MRs to be provided and the period during which
the MRs are provided. In this way, the signaling throughput on the Abis interface and the
CPU usage of the BSC can be decreased.
If the BTS reports the measurement result information, then the information is processed
according to the interpolation and filtering procedures.
If the BTS reports the processed measurement result information, then the information is
directly used for handover decision.
On receiving normal MRs, the BSC triggers power control. On receiving preprocessed
MRs, the BTS triggers power control. The procedure of power control performed by the
BTS is the same as that performed by the BSC.
1.3 Selection of Measurement Data

The BSC processes the information carried in the MR (common MR or enhanced MR)
based on the MR type (REPORT_TYPE). On receiving the MR sent by the BTS, the BSC
extracts the measurement results of the serving cell and the neighboring cell.
In the MR, the TCH measurement of the serving cell is classified into FULLSET and
SUBSET. The FULLSET measures the TCH channels (signal receive level and quality),
whereas the SUBSET measures the channels in DTX mode (signal receive level and
quality).The MRs provided by the MS and BTS indicate whether the DTX scheme is
adopted.
If an MR indicates that DTX is adopted, then the SUBSET measurement is selected
irrespective of whether the subsequent measurement reports contain the DTX indication;
otherwise, the FULLSET measurement is selected.
The FULLSET measurement and SUBSET measurement do not have any impact on the
signal receive level of the BCCH in the neighboring cell.
Page 4
The following describes the enhanced measurement report (EMR).

The protocol 44.018 clarifies the system message MI/2QUATER can determine the way the MS
reports the information of the serving cell and neighboring cells: MR or EMR.
EMR is a new type of MR that contains more measurement information. Compared with MR, the
EMR has the following advantages:
Because the MS obtains more information of neighboring cells, that is, Base Station Identity Codes
(BSIC), the EMR can report more BSICs than MR.
The EMR uses a new signal CODEC mode. For example, the BEP, a channel quality indicator, is added
to the EMR. The BEP evaluates bursts one by one, and comprehensively reflects the C/I, signal delay
extension, and terminal speed. Moreover, the BEP uses 5BIT CODEC mode (RXQUAL: 3BIT CODEC
mode). Thus, the BEP is more accurate than BER (RXQUAL), especially when the radio signal is poor.
Therefore, the BEP can improve the performances that depend on the radio signal quality algorithm.
Huawei recommends that the BEP replace the algorithms that evaluate radio signal quality through
RXQUAL, including the power control algorithm.
The correctly received speech frames are added to the EMR. The speech frames can be used to
calculate the Frame Error Rate (FER).The FER is used to measure the speech signal CODEC
performance, but the RXQUAL is used to measure the radio signal. Therefore, a more accurate
measurement result of the speech quality can be obtained through the FER instead of through the
RXQUAL.
1.4 MR Interpolation
If the received MRs and those in the buffered queue are discontinuous, and the number of
lost MRs does not exceed Allowed MR Number Lost, then the interpolation processing
of the MRs should be introduced.
The interpolation scheme applies to the following objects:
Uplink TCHs of the serving cell, RXLEV, and RXQUAL
Downlink TCHs of the serving cell, RXLEV, and RXQUAL
Downlink transmit power of the serving cell: BSPw
The Huawei II power control algorithm does not interpolate the uplink transmit power if the
MSPwr measurement is lost and the MS power control command remains. The filtering of
the MR, however, is still under processing.
1.5 MR Compensation
MR compensation refers to compensating the level carried in the MR to make the level
equal the current transmit power.
Every time the BSC receives an MR, the BSC puts the MR into the MR queue for future
power control and handover. When the BSC starts a decision, the BSC evaluates the
Page 5
latest MRs. The latest MRs, however, are obtained with different transmit power. As a
consequence, if you evaluate the receive level under the current transmit power through
the MRs before power adjustment, errors definitely occur. To minimize the errors, you
must compensate for the MRs before power adjustment. When the transmit power
changes, compensate the receive level for history MRs (Taking into the delay of power
adjustment into consideration, you can determine whether the transmit power is changed
according to the real-time MRs), and set the parameter MR Compensation Allowed (the
default value of this parameter is Yes). Because the MR compensation is good for
correcting the MR errors, you are advised to set MR Compensation Allowed to Yes.
MR compensation after power adjustment is a necessary preparation for predicting the
MR accurately using the Huawei II power control
algorithm.

1.5.1 MR Discarding at the Initial Stage

At the initial stage of channel seizure, the experiential data considers the MR data as
fluctuating. Therefore, power control is not performed. The Huawei II power control
algorithm discards four MRs regularly, and the four MRs do not need to be filtered.
1.5.2 MR Prediction and Filtering

The power control decision is based on the average filter value of history MRs. This aims
to eliminate the impact of outliers and burrs on the stability and effectiveness of power
control algorithm. That is, the average filter value of history MRs is used as a reference
value. The average filter value is not the best choice because of the delay of power
adjustment. The function of MR filtering prediction can compensate for the delay of power
adjustment to some degree.

The relevant parameters are UL MR. Number Predicted, DL MR. Number Predicted, AMR UL

you can infer that the function of MR filtering prediction is disabled.
1.6 Power Control Decision

Based on the traffic status indicated by the receive quality and receive level, the Huawei II
Page 8
power control algorithm adopts specific power control strategies. In this way, the power
control algorithm becomes effective and stable. When you calculate the adjusted power in
a power adjustment period, perform the following steps:
Adjust the power step based on the receive level
Adjust the power step based on the receive quality
Adjust the power step based on both the receive level and the receive quality
The MR triggers the power control decision every 480 ms. Because of the delay of power
control, the MR stops power control decision in the PC Interval after the power control
command is issued. The UL PC Interval and DL PC Interval are set to the same value.
The methods for calculating the UL power step and DL power step are the same. The
following figure shows the flow chart of power control decision.

Configuring PC Interval
The function of PC Interval is as follows: In a call procedure, the power control decision is
prohibited within the PC Interval after the power control command is issued.
Adjusting the Power Step Based on the Receive Level

To enhance system flexibility and to prevent power control flapping, Huawei adopts the
dual-threshold power control algorithm (the function of dual-threshold power control
algorithm is similar to that of hysteresis).To adjust power accurately and rapidly, Huawei
uses variable step power control. You must also consider the receive quality when you
Page
10
adjust power control step. This aims to make the power adjustment more effective.
The requirement for the target level specified by the Huawei II power control algorithm is
as follows:
Target value of level = UL/DL RX_LEV Upper Threshold + UL/DL RX_LEV Lower
Threshold/2
1. When the RxLev after the prediction filtering processing is greater than the value of
UL/DL RX_LEV Upper Threshold, the power is reduced; when the RxLev is smaller than
the value of UL/DL RX_LEV Lower Threshold, the power is increased.
Huawei recommends that the difference between the UL/DL RX_LEV Upper Threshold
and the UL/DL RX_LEV Lower Threshold range from 6 dB to 10 dB.
2. Power adjustment step based on receive level = target value of level RxLev
When the power adjustment step based on receive level is positive, the power is
increased; when the power adjustment step based on receive level is negative, the power
is decreased.
When the power is increased, the power adjustment step based on receive level cannot
exceed the value of MAX Up Adj. PC Value by RX_LEV (0 dB-32 dB).
1. If the power adjustment step based on receive level calculated through the Huawei II power
control algorithm exceeds the value of MAX Up Adj. PC Value by RX_LEV, then set the power
adjustment step based on receive level to the value of the MAX Up Adj. PC Value by RX_LEV.
2. The GSM protocol clarifies that the maximum power control step of the MS in an MR period is 16
dB. If the power adjustment step based on receive level exceeds 16 dB, it takes more than one MR
period for the MS to perform power control.
3. When the RxLev ranges from UL/DL RX_LEV Lower Threshold to UL/DL RX_LEV Upper
Threshold, the transmit power is not adjusted.
4. If the receive quality is poor, the level decrease adjustment becomes more sensitive. The
Huawei II power control algorithm classifies three quality zones 1-2, and >=3 according to the
receive quality (RQ after filtering). Each quality zone is configured with different values of MAX
Down Adj. PC Value by RX_LEV. If the receive quality is good, the step is long; if the receive
Page
11

quality is poor, the step is short. Only when you decrease the power based on the level, the MAX
Down Adj. PC Value of RQ Quality Zone takes effect.
You are advised to set the MAX Down Adj. Value Qual.Zone 0 to 6 dB to 16 dB, MAX Down
Adj.Value Qual.Zone 1 to 4 dB to 8 dB, and MAX Down Adj.Value Qual.Zone 2 to 2 dB to 4 dB.
The power adjustment step based on receive level is calculated as follows:
(1) When the power is increased, the power adjustment step based on receive level = min (|target
value of levelRxLev |, MAX Up Adj. PC Value by RX_LEV)
(2) When the power is decreased, the power adjustment step based on receive level = min (|target
value of levelRxLev |, MAX Down Adj. PC Value of RQ Quality Zone)
1. Because uplink power control and downlink power control use the same algorithm, Huawei uses
words Up and Down to indicate uplink and downlink in parameters.
2. The UL/DL RX_LEV Upper Threshold and the UL/DL RX_LEV Lower Threshold must be set
correctly. If they are set to a very great values, the power control decision is not sensitive to the
changes of receive level and the power adjustment step is very long; if they are set to very small
values, the power control decision is over-sensitive to the changes of receive level. Thus, ping-pong
power control may occur. This is not good for increasing transmit power when the receive quality is
poor.
The maximum power adjustment step of the quality zone must be set correctly. If the step is set to a
very small value, the rapid power control is unavailable. If the step is set to a very great value, the
step cannot be a reference for quality, and the effectiveness of power control is reduced.
3. In the Huawei II power control algorithm, the parameters related to AMR call are separated from
the parameters related to common call. For details, refer to parameter descriptions and product
manuals.
4. For details of parameters, refer to the GSM BSC6000 V900R008 Parameter Baseline.
Adjusting the Power Step Based on the Receive Quality

The receive quality threshold is set to a dual-threshold. The transmit power does not need
to be adjusted if the receive quality is within the dual-threshold, and the transmit power
Page
12
needs to be adjusted if the receive quality is beyond the dual-threshold. The impact of
changing transmit level on receive quality cannot be predicted. Therefore, to ensure the
stability of the Huawei II power control algorithm, avoid long steps when you adjust power.
When you adjust power based on receive quality, use a fixed step. The parameter related
to the step can be set.
Increasing transmit power when the receive quality is bad
When the RxQual after filtering processing is equal to or greater than the value of UL/DL
Qual Lower Threshold, increase the transmit power by the step MAX Up Adj. PC Value
by RX_LEV.
The value of RxLev + MAX Up Adj. PC Value by RX_LEV cannot exceed that of UL/DL
RX_LEV Upper Threshold. Otherwise, ping-pong power control may occur.
To avoid the situation in which the power cannot be increased because of bad quality,
UL/DL Qual. Bad Trig Threshold and UL/DL Qual. Bad UpLEVDiff are added to the
Huawei II power control algorithm. When the RxQual is equal to or greater than the value
of UL/DL Qual. Bad Trig Threshold, the UL/DL RX_LEV Upper Threshold must be
offset upward by UL/DL Qual. Bad UpLEVDiff.
Decreasing the transmit power when the receive quality is good
When the RxQual after filtering processing is smaller than the value of UL/DL Qual Lower
Threshold, decrease the transmit power by the step Max Up Adj. PC Value by RX_LEV.
The value of RxLevMAX Down Adj. PC Value by RX_LEV cannot be smaller than that
of UL/DL RX_LEV Lower Threshold. Otherwise, ping-pong power control may occur.
According to the Huawei power control algorithm RxLevMAX Down Adj. PC Value by
RX_LEV is smaller than that of the UL/DL RX_LEV Lower Threshold, the transmit power
is not decreased.
Adjusting the Power Step Based on both the Receive Level and the Receive Quality
The Huawei power control algorithm AdjStep_Lev based on both the receive level and the
receive quality. In this way, the adjustment requirement is met and the stability of the
power control algorithm is ensured. Over-adjustment is avoided and ping-pong

Default value: 3
Configuration policy: If the value of this parameter is very great, the power control
may be delayed. If the value of this parameter is very small, the power control may be
performed frequently, thus wasting the resources.

Configuration policy: On receiving some consecutive measurement reports, the
network calculates the average value of the uplink signal levels. This average value
indicates the radio environment of the MS. When you configure this parameter, you
must consider the delay and accuracy of the average value caused by the number of

the average of the downlink signal quality is taken before BTS power adjustment.
Value range: 020
Unit: None
Default value: 6
network calculates the average value of the downlink signal quality. This average
value indicates the radio environment of the MS. When you configure this parameter,
MR. Compensation Allowed

Description: This parameter specifies whether the compensation of measurement
reports is allowed by Huawei II power control algorithm.
Unit: None
Default value: Yes
Configuration policy: During power control decision, the BSC performs weighted
filtering on the values of the received level and of the received quality in several
history measurement reports. The measurement reports may be obtained by the
BTS/MS at different transmit power. To ensure the accuracy of the values for filtering,
the values in the history measurement reports that are obtained at a different transmit
power from the current power must be compensated.
UL MR. Number Predicted

Description: This parameter specifies the number of predicted uplink measurement
reports.
Page
18
Value range: 03
Unit: None
Default value: 0
Configuration policy: In the Huawei II power control algorithm, the average filter
value in the history measurement report is not used for power control decision.
Instead, the prediction function is applied in the filter to compensate the delay of
power adjustment.
DL MR. Number Predicted

Description: This parameter specifies the number of predicted downlink
Value range: 03
Unit: None
Default value: 0
power adjustment.

Description: The power control step is calculated based on the signal level. The
signal level has an upper threshold and a lower threshold. Power control is not
performed if the signal level is between the upper threshold and the lower threshold.
Power control is performed only when the signal level exceeds the upper threshold or
is below the lower threshold.
This parameter specifies the lower threshold of the uplink signal for power control. If
Page
19
the signal level is below this threshold, calculate an increased value (= (AMR UL
RX_LEV Upper Threshold + AMR UL RX_LEV Lower Threshold)/2 Received
Level).
Compare the increased value, MAX Up Adj. PC Value by RX_LEV, and MAX Up
Adj.C Value by Qual. Set the power adjustment step of the MS to the minimum value
of the three parameters.
Value range: 063 (corresponding to 110 dBm to 47 dBm)
Unit: None
Default value: 30
Configuration policy: If the value of this parameter is very high, the uplink level
becomes high without power control. Therefore, the battery life is reduced and
network interference is caused. If the value of this parameter is medium, the uplink
level becomes low, and call drops may easily occur.

This parameter specifies the upper threshold of the uplink signal for power control. If
the signal level exceeds this threshold, calculate a decreased value (= receive level
(MR UL RX_LEV Upper Threshold + AMR UL RX_LEV Lower Threshold)/2).
Along with MAX Down Adj. Value Qual. Zone 0, MAX Down Adj. Value Qual. Zone
1, MAX Down Adj. Value Qual. Zone 2, and MAX Down Adj. PC Value by Qual,
This parameter specifies the step adjusted by power control (minimum value).
Page
20
Unit: None
Default value: 20
Recommended value:
UL Qual. Upper Threshold

Description: When the power control step is calculated based on the signal quality,
the upper threshold and the lower threshold of the stable state quality zone are set.
When the signal quality exceeds the upper threshold or is below the lower threshold,
power control is performed. This parameter specifies the upper threshold of the uplink
quality for power control.
The mapping between the BER and the quality level is as follows:
Level 0: BER smaller than 0.2%
Level 1: BER ranges from 0.2% to 0.4%
Level 7: BER greater than 12.8%
Value range: 07
Unit: None
Default value: 1
Configuration policy: If the value of this parameter is medium, the quality is good
without power control. Therefore, the battery life is reduced and network interference
is caused. If the value of this parameter is very high, the quality is poor without power
control, and therefore the conversation quality is degraded.
Page
21
UL Qual. Lower Threshold

power control is performed. This parameter specifies the lower limit of the uplink
quality for power control.
Value range: 07
Unit: None
Default value: 3
Configuration policy: If the value of this parameter is very high, the quality is poor
without power control. Therefore, the conversation quality is degraded. If the value of
this parameter is medium, the quality is good without power control. Therefore, the
battery life is reduced.

Page
22
This parameter specifies the upper threshold of the downlink signal for power control.
If the signal level exceeds this threshold, calculate a decreased value (= receive level
- (AMR UL RX_LEV Upper Threshold + AMR UL RX_LEV Lower Threshold)/2).
Along with MAX Down Adj. Value Qual. Zone 0, MAX Down Adj. Value Qual. Zone
1, MAX Down Adj. Value Qual. Zone 2, and MAX Down Adj. PC Value by Qual,
This parameter specifies the step adjusted by power control (minimum value).
Unit: None
Default value: 35
Configuration policy: If the value of this parameter is very great, the downlink level
becomes high without power control. If the value of this parameter is very small, the
downlink level becomes low, and call drops may easily occur.

This parameter specifies the lower threshold of the downlink signal for power control.
If the signal level exceeds this threshold, calculate an increased value (= (MR UL
RX_LEV Upper Threshold + AMR UL RX_LEV Lower Threshold)/2 receive level).

downlink quality for power control.
Value range: 07
Unit: None
Default value: 3
MAX Down Adj.Value Qual.Zone 0

Description: In the Huawei II power control algorithm, the quality zone is divided into
three grades (0, 12, 3) based on the receive quality (RQ). A maximum step length
of power control is set for each quality zone.
Page
25
When downward power adjustment is performed based on the level, the maximum
permissible down adjustment step differs based on the receive quality. If the value of
this parameter is set to a smaller value, the algorithm cannot realize fast power
control. If the value of this parameter is set to a greater value, the effectiveness of
power control cannot be guaranteed.

If the signal level is below this threshold, calculate an increased value (= (AMR UL
RX_LEV Upper Threshold + AMR UL RX_LEV Lower Threshold)/2 Received
Level).
Unit: None
Default value: 30
Configuration policy: If the value of this parameter is very high, the uplink level
becomes high without power control. Therefore, the battery life is reduced and
network interference is caused. If the value of this parameter is medium, the uplink
level becomes low, and call drops may easily occur.
AMR UL RX_LEV Lower Threshold

This parameter determines the upper threshold of the uplink signal for power control.
If the signal level exceeds this threshold, calculate a decreased value (= receive level
(MR UL RX_LEV Upper Threshold + AMR UL RX_LEV Lower Threshold)/2).
