Dynamic power sharing(DPS) for ENDC/NEDC

原文链接：https://blog.csdn.net/asd199086/article/details/128841016
The main content of Dynamic power sharing is described in Chapter 38.213 7.6, respectively for EN-DC, NE-DC

and NR-DC, this feature is relatively old content, and now most of the domestic SA networks are still worth

seeing. This article mainly looks at the two NSA scenarios of EN-DC and NE-DC, the difference between the

architecture of these two DCs can be viewed asynchronously to TS 37.340, the common NSA architecture is EN-

DC, then since the NE-DC scenario is also considered in 38.213, it should be that some foreign operators have

adopted NE-DC, first look at EN-DC.

DPS for EN-DC

In the EN-DC scenario, the UE needs to maintain the connection to both the LTE and NR systems, and the transmit

power of the UE needs to be considered comprehensively due to the limitation of the total transmit power. The

maximum transmit power on the LTE side and the NR side is configured by the network through RRC signaling,

which is denoted as P_LTE and P_NR respectively. At the same time, the EN-DC combination also has its maximum

transmit power, which is denoted as P_EN-DC_Total. Depending on the configuration of the network, two

scenarios can occur: P_LTE+P_NR≤P_EN-DC_Total and P_LTE+P_NR>P_EN-DC_Total.

If P_LTE+P_NR≤P_EN-DC_Total, even if the LTE and NR systems independently control and calculate the power,

the actual transmit power will not exceed P_EN-DC_Total, which can be regarded as a semi-static sharing

scenario, which has low requirements for UE, but the maximum transmit power that can be used by both LTE and

NR systems is less than P_EN-DC_ Total, LTE cannot utilize the remaining power even when there is no NR signal

to send.

If the P_LTE+P_NR>P_EN-DC_Total is , because the transmit power of the NR and LTE systems is controlled and

calculated separately, the actual transmit power of the UE at certain moments may exceed P_EN-DC_Total when

the transmission time of the LTE and NR systems overlaps. At this time, the terminal should dynamically adjust

the transmit power so that the actual transmit power does not exceed P_EN-DC_Total. For UEs that support DPS,

the power on the NR side can be reduced until the total transmit power at all times in the NR time slot is not

greater than P_EN-DC_Total, that is, the UE preferentially guarantees the transmit power of LTE, and the

remaining power is distributed to the NR system. The main reason is that in the EN-DC scenario, LTE carriers are

the main ones and have a higher priority.

The following is an example, taking ENDC max power 26dbm as an example, the following left is a possible

architecture that does not support DPS, where the max power of LTE and NR parts is 23dbm and does not

support DPS, and the right is the PA architecture of DPS, the LTE and NR systems are controlled by the same PA,

max power = 26 dBm.

If the LTE part is 20 dbm and the DPS architecture is not supported, the power calculated by the NR part is 26 dbm, and the NR

part can only transmit at 23 dbm, and for the architecture that supports DPS, the NR part can transmit at a power close to 25

dbm, which can significantly increase the UL power of the NR part. Conversely, take an extreme value, at a certain moment it is

calculated that LTE=26dbm, P_scg=20dbm, at this time, DPS support will reduce the power of the scg NR part, and only when

P_scg=0 will the power requirement be met, then the LTE part can be transmitted at 26 dBm, and in the scenario that DPS is not

supported on the left side of the figure above, LTE can only be transmitted at a maximum of 23 dBm.

Therefore, through DPS, both LTE and NR systems may use more transmit power than in scenarios where DSP is not supported

on the left.

The following is a screenshot of the IE and actual capability related to DPS, which is configured with band combination.
Lets take a look at the description in Section 38.213 7.6

As mentioned above, in the ENDC scenario, the max power PLTE of the MCG section is specified by the parameter p-MaxEUTRA,

and the max power of SCG FR1 is specified by p-NR-FR1. As in the parameters above, P_LTE = P_NR = 20 dBm while the power

of LTE and NR is mainly determined by the PUCCH/PUSCH/SRS/PRACH process.

If the maximum power of the LTE and NR parts is greater than P_EN-DC_Total, the value of the P_EN-DC_Total is specified in

38.101-3, most ENDC combinations only support PC 3 23dbm, some can support PC 2 26dbm, if the UE supports multiple power

classes, the power should be performed according to the parameters related to the uplink duty cycle (UplinkDutyCycle). The

choice of class is skipped here

If the configured LTE and NR max power is greater than P_EN-DC_Total and the LTE cell has tdm-PatternConfig or tdm-

PatternConfig2 configured:

(1) UE does not support DPS ENDC, when the MCG tdm-PatternConfig indicates a UL subframe, UE cannot transmit UL on the

SCG in the corresponding slot;

(2) If the UE has the ability to report DPS ENDC, but does not support tdm-restrictionDualTX-FDD-endc-r16 and tdm-

PattrenConfig2 is configured, when the SCG and MCG overlap in a subframe, the UE cannot transmit SCG UL in the overlapping

part of the subframe.

Under the configuration of the above parameters, it is mainly to ensure the UL transmission of the MCG LTE part, and the UL

transmission of SCG NR is not carried out.

If the terminal does not support dynamicPowerSharingENDC, the network must configure a reference uplink and downlink

configuration (tdm-PatternConfig) for the terminal, and the terminal does not send the NR system uplink signal in the NR time

slot corresponding to the LTE subframe that is configured as uplink and downlink.

If P_LTE+P_NR>P_EN-DC_Total, because the transmit power of the NR and LTE systems is controlled and calculated separately,

the actual transmit power of the terminal at certain moments may exceed P_EN-DC_Total when the transmission time of the

LTE and NR systems overlaps. At this time, the terminal should dynamically adjust the transmit power so that the actual

transmit power does not exceed P_EN-DC_Total.

In addition to the first configuration of tdm-PatternConfig or tdm-PatternConfig2 above, if the maximum power of LTE and NR is

greater than P_EN-DC_Total, the UE also supports DPS ENDC:

The subframe i1 transmitted in the MCG overlaps with the slot i2 of SCG FR1 in the time domain if

^P_mcg(i1)_^P_scg(i2)>^P_en-dc_Total:

UE wants to reduce the transmission power of the SCG slot i2 so that any part of the slot i2 satisfies

^P_mcg(i1)_^P_scg(i2)<=^P_en-dc_Total, and the power reduction of the SCG is also controlled by parameters, and the power

of the SCG part cannot be reduced indefinitely. In this case, the network side configures the parameter X_SCALE and the path is

as follows:

xScale represents the db value that can be reduced in the NR part of the SCG, and when the UE supports DPS but does not

configure xScale, the xScale is 6dB by default.

If the power reduction of NR exceeds xScale, UE abandons NR transmission, that is, when the power reduction is too large,

there is no need for UE to transmit NR, because in the case of the current NR power is too small, NR UL transmission will

definitely have problems, it is better to give up directly, otherwise the SCG NR part can continue to transmit UL.

DPS for NE-DC

Following the idea of ENDC, in the NE-DC scenario (NR as the primary carrier and LTE as the secondary carrier), the transmission

of NR should be prioritized, but in fact it is not, and the reason may be as described in R1-1806302.

For NE-DC, compared to LTE, the NR PUSCH transmission power will be more robust and the interval will be shorter due to the

different slot format or SCS. Power scaling or power drop on LTE SCell to protect NR PCell will be difficult because LTE PUSCH

transmission intervals are longer than those of NR PUSCH, NR systems have shorter processing times than LTE systems, and

exceeding the maximum power can occur in the middle of LTE subframes. When UE received the UL grant from the NR system,

there was not enough time to recalculate and adjust the transmit power of the LTE system, and there was no operator request

to protect the NR PCell, so finally as described in 38.213, in the NE-DC scenario, the power of the NR system should also be

scaled to maintain the transmit power of the LTE system.

Therefore, the mechanism of NE-DC and EN-DC is similar to that of EN-DC as a whole, so let's briefly look at the description of

NE-DC

The maximum transmit power on the NE-DC LTE side and NR side is configured by the network via RRC signaling and is denoted

as P_LTE and P_NR, respectively.

If tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon is not configured on the NR side of the MCG, the UE directly determines the transmission
power on the LTE side according to the provisions on the LTE side.

If there is a configuration on the NR side of the MCG tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon or tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated,

and at least one symbol is UL or flexible symbol is UL or flexible symbol is overlapped with the SCG subframe i2 on the NR side,

for LTE subframe i2, UE binding P_ LTE determines the transmission power during the SCG, and when there is no overlap

between the MCG and the SCG, the UE does not need to consider the P_LTE and directly determines the power on the SCG side.

The main meaning of this passage is that for the LTE system sub-frames that overlap with the possible uplink symbols of the NR

system, the maximum transmit power on the LTE side is P_LTE, and for the other sub-frames, the maximum transmit power on

the LTE side is PCMAX, and the LTE side determines the transmit power by the P_LTE or P_CMAX respectively according to the

situation.

f ^P_LTE+^P_NR>^P_NE-DC_Total is configured on the LTE side, if the LTE side has a reference uplink and downlink configuration

(tdm-PatternConfigNE-DC-r15) and the UE does not support DPS NE-DC, the UE cannot not send NR system uplink signals in the

NR time slot corresponding to the LTE subframe that is configured as uplink with the reference uplink and downlink.

If ^P_LTE+^P_NR>^P_NE-DC_Total and UE supports DPS NE-DC, the subframe i2 transmitted on the SCG overlaps with the slot i1

of MCG FR1 in the time domain, and if ^P_mcg(i1)_^P_scg(i2)>^P_ne-dc_Total:UE reduces the transmission power of the MCG

slot i1 in order to use it in the slot Any part of i1 satisfies ^P_mcg(i1)_^P_scg(i2)<=^P_ne-dc_Total.

Finally, I briefly list other relevant IEs for subsequent reference.

tdm-restrictionDualTX-FDD-endc-r16: Indicates whether the UE supports TDM restriction for LTE FDD PCell in (NG)EN-DC for
dual UL transmission operation when tdm-PatternConfig2-R16 is configured, as specified in TS 36.331 [17]. UE indicates support

for this feature, and should also indicate support for tdm-pattern.

tdm-pattern: Indicates whether the UE supports tdm-PatternConfig for individual UL transport-related functions. Support is

conditionally enforced in (NG)EN-DC for UEs that do not support dynamicPowerSharingENDC and UEs for individual UL

transmissions that indicate any (NG)EN-DC BC. Support is conditionally mandatory in NE-DC for UEs that do not support

dynamic power sharing NEDC and for UEs that indicate a single UL transmission for any NE-DC BC. Otherwise the feature is

optional.
