3 Technical Description
In order to better use PA power in an efficient way, multi-carrier PA dynamic sharing
feature is introduced. Several cells under the same PA may use different carrier power.
According to this situation, the system can dynamically adjust the maximum available
power used by each cell carrier so that PA usage ratio can reach its maximum level. The
information such as local cell power usage and the relation among local cells is informed
to RNC during audit response process. RNC uses the information as well as Node B
reported measurement information to implement power admission control. The power
sharing ratio can be set at OMC.
Cell maximum sharing power PSHARE: the maximum power configured for this cell that can
be used by other cells. The value is PMAX_PRE * paShareRatio : ULocalCell.maxDlPwr *
NodeBFuncion.paShareRatio.
Currently configured maximum power for a cell, PMAX_PRE :: after enabling dynamic power
sharing function, the cell maximum power can be adjusted. This parameter shows
maximum cell power after adjustment. The value is PMAX_INI + PSHARE or PMAX_INI - PSHARE
Cell actually used power, PREAL: it indicates actually used power by the cell when it stays
at working state. The value is
Cell residual power PRED: it indicates the residual power of the cell when it stays at
working state, here PRED=PMAX_PRE - PREAL.
Cell power lending threshold, Threshold1: Compare cell power usage ratio with
Threshold1 to know whether a cell can lend power. This parameter is configured in the
st nd
1 ~2 digit in NodeBFunctionReservePara.reserveParamter90 if the value is expressed
in decimal form.
Cell power borrowing threshold, Threshold2: Compare cell power usage ratio with
Threshold2 to know whether a cell can borrow power. This parameter is configured in the
rd th
3 ~4 digit in NodeBFunctionReservePara.reserveParamter90 if the value is expressed
in decimal form.
TSSI arithmetic mean period (ms): it indicates statistical period of transmission power in
th th
all cells. This parameter is configured in the 5 ~7 digit in
NodeBFunctionReservePara.reserveParamter90 if the value is expressed in decimal
form.
Cell power lending state: When PMAX_PRE<PMAX_INI, it means part of the initial maximum
power configured for a cell is lent to other cells. Then this cell stays at power lending
state.
Cell power borrowing state: When PMAX_PRE>PMAX_INI, it means the initially configured
power for this cell is not sufficient. This cell borrows partial power from other cells. In this
case, this cell stays at power borrowing state.
After enabling multi-carrier PA dynamic power sharing feature, several cells under the
same PA will report respective power usage situation to the scheduler. According to the
report, the scheduler adjusts cell power. The basic adjustment rules are described as
follow:
Multi-carrier dynamic power sharing feature will not change PA maximum available
power, but only change the currently configured maximum power for the cells under
the same PA - PMAX_PRE. To make it clear, the multi-carrier dynamic power sharing
feature has the following phenomenon: when the PMAX_PRE for a cell increases, the
same parameter used by other cell under the same PA decreases. Vice versa.
The system must guarantee a minimum value of PMAX_PRE for every cell. With such
assurance, the power used by a cell will not decrease too low or even become 0
upon cell power adjustment by the scheduler. By doing this, cells can always work
properly.
Two conditions must be met for a cell to lend its power to other cell: first, the cell
power should meet its own power requirement; second, this cell has extra power to
be shared by other cells. In a situation that a cell stays at power lending state, if
many UEs are accessed to this cell or other reason causes its PMAX_PRE to be
insufficient, the scheduler will first increases its PMAX_PRE till the power required by
this cell is met or this cell does not stay at cell power lending state. In the same way,
a cell stays at power borrowing state. Meanwhile, the other cell, which stays at
power lending state, requires a higher value of PMAX_PRE, In this situation, the former
cell has to reduce its PMAX_PRE without any excuse till it exits power borrowing state.
To be noticed that if all the cells under the same PA do not have satisfied PMAX_PRE,
the power used by all the cells must return to PMAX_INI.
If this cell requires a higher value of PMAX_PRE and it stays at power lending state
Then the value of PMAX_PRE used by this cell increases and the value of PMAX_PRE
used by a cell, which stays at power borrowing state, decreases.
Elseif this cell requires a higher value of PMAX_PRE and it stays at power borrowing state.
If the other cell has residual power and its PMAX_PRE > a guaranteed minimum
value.
Then the value of PMAX_PRE used by this cell increases and the value of
PMAX_PRE used by the other cell decreases.
Else
Endif
Elseif this cell can reduce its PMAX_PRE and it stays at power lending state
If this cell has a higher value of PMAX_PRE, which is greater than a guaranteed
minimum value and the other cell requires a higher PMAX_PRE.
Then the value of PMAX_PRE used by this cell decreases and the value of
PMAX_PRE used by the other cell increases.
Else
Endif
Elseif the value of PMAX_PRE used by this cell is sufficient and this cell stays at power
borrowing state.
Then the value of PMAX_PRE used by this cell decreases and the value of PMAX_PRE
used by a cell, which stays power lending stae, increases.
Endif
The multi-carrier PA dynamic power sharing feature adopts 10ms scheduling period.
During each scheduling period, the scheduler only adjusts the carrier power of two cells:
one has the highest ratio of PREAL/PMAX_PRE, the other has the lowest ratio of
PREAL/PMAX_PRE. The adjustment step size is 1W. For each scheduling period, if a cell has
the lowest ratio of PREAL/PMAX_PRE, its PMAX_PRE decreases by 1W; meanwhile, if a cel
has the highest ratio of PREAL/PMAX_PRE, its PMAX_PRE increases by 1W. Originall a cell has
residual carrier power. Upon several scheduling periods, this part of residual power can
be effectively lent to other cells, which require higher carrier power.
1. All the cells under the same PA report respective PMAX_INI (i), PMAX_PRE (i) and PREAL (i)
to the scheduler.
3. The scheduler sorts PRED (i) in descending order. After the sorting operation, PRED
(j)≥PRED (j+1), j = 1,2,...,n-1, n is the number of cells under the same PA.
4. According to the sorting result obtained at step 3, search one by one till
PMAX_INI(j) and power usage ratio in the jth cell < Threshold1), the value of
PMAX_PRE(j) used by this cell decreases by 1W, then skipt to step 5; otherwise,
Find a cell, which meets the condition: PMAX_PRE < (PMAX_IN – PSHARE)
Threshold1)
Else
End if
End for
5. At step 3, get the last one from the sorted PRED (j). This is associated to a cell.
For this cell, if (PMAX_PRE(j) < PMAX_INI (j)) or (PMAX_PRE(j) ≥ PMAX_INI (j) and power
usage ratio in the jth cell > Threshold2), the value of PMAX_PRE used by this cell
increases by 1W; otherwise, the value of PMAX_PRE used by this cell is kept
unchanged.
Else
Endif
Endif
6. If all the cells have sufficient residual power and meet the condiion, PREAL <
PMAX_PRE × 65%, the power in every cell restores to its PMAX_INI.

3.3 Examples
For example, there are 3 cells under the same PA. This section briefly describes the
benefits brought by this multi-carrier dynamic power sharing feature.
Suppose PA total power is 60W, the value of PMAX_INI for each cell is 20W, and the value
of PSHARE for each cell is 10W. Different numbers of UEs access to the 3 cells. In this
situation, the values of real power used by the 3 cells are:
Scenario 1: The multi-carrier dynamic power sharing feature is disabled. As some UEs
st nd
access to the 1 cell, this cell has 10W residual power. As some UEs access the 2 cell,
rd
this cell has no residual power. As some UEs access to the 3 cell, the cell power is
restricted because PMAX_INI is 5W smaller than PREAL. In this situation, even though PA
rd
total power is 60W and 3 cells only use 55W power, no more UEs can access to the 3
cell. This is unnecessary performance loss.
Scenario 2: Enable the PA multi-carrier dynamic power sharing feature. First, the PREAL
st
used by the 1 cell is scheduled every 10ms. For each scheduling period, power
adjustment step is 1W. After 8 scheduling periods, the value of PMAX_PRE decreases to
st
12W. In this situation, because PREAL/ PMAX_PRE is 83.3% for the 1 cell, just smaller than
85% lending power threshold, the scheduler stops adjusting cell power. Now the values
nd rd
of PMAX_PRE for the 2 and 3 cells are 21W and 27W respectively. After power
st nd rd
adjustment, the real values of PREAL used by the 1 , 2 and 3 cells are 10W, 20W and
25W respectively. The values of PMAX_PRE for the 3 cells are 12W, 21W and 27W
respectively. Now all UEs can access to the 3 cells without any power waste. The cell
performance under the same PA reaches optimal state.
Scenario 3: Later, the running situation changes after power adjustment. When more
st st
UEs access to the 1 cell, its PREAL increases by 5W, that is, PREAL = 15W used by the 1
cell. However, the values of PREAL used by the other 2 cells are unchanged. In this case,
st
the 1 cell stays at power lending state, so the scheduler increases its value of PMAX_PRE
nd rd
till 18W. Because the 2 and 3 cells stay at power borrowing state, they must reduce
the values of PMAX_PRE without any excuse. Upon power adjustment, the value of PMAX_PRE
nd
for the 2 cell decreases to 20W, exiting power borrowing state; the value of PMAX_PRE for
rd
the 3 cell decreases to 22W, still staying at power borrowing state. To be mentioned
st
that the 1 cell will reserve 3W power so that other UEs can access to it. This is
rd
reasonable because 85% lending power restriction exists. Even though the 3 cell needs
st
additional 3W power, the value of PMAX_PRE for the 1 cell will not decrease to meet the
rd st nd rd
requirement from the 3 cell. Now the real values of PREAL used by the 1 , 2 and 3
cells are 15W, 20W and 25W respectively. The values of PMAX_PRE for the 3 cells are 20W,
20W and 20W respectively before the multi-carrier PA dynamic power sharing feature is
enabled, these values become 18W, 20W and 22W respectively after dynamic power
adjustment. Thus, after dynamic power adjustment, the values of cell power become
reasonable and the corresponding cell performance is improved.

6 Engineering Guide
This feature is introduced so that the power of cells under the same PA can be shared in
multi-carrier situation. Compared to the situation of fixed carrier power, dynamic power
adjustment among several carriers can use PA power in an efficient way and system
downlink throughput can be improved.
