DL Power control on PDCCH provides gain in reducing the average CCE (Control Channel
Element), increasing the signaling capacity
On PDCCH full DL Power Control is recommended on CCE basis with 0.1 dB granularity to
achieve required BLER on PDCCH < 1%.
the PDCCH power control mechanism is presented and it is shown to significantly decrease
the control channel resources allocation and to reduce the PDCCH blocking probability.

enabling PC reduces the utilization of CCEs. The mean aggregation level is reduced
from 2.4 CCEs/UE without PC to 1.9 CCEs/UE by applying power step-up of 2 dB. It
can be observed that the percentages of 4-CCE and 8-CCE users are significantly
decreased. With the more aggressive PC setting, i.e., power step-up of 4 dB, larger
reduction can be obtained.
