Overview
What is power control?

What is the aim of power control?

Power control: Adjust the transmit power of BTS and MS according to the requirement. Aim: Reduce the transmit power of BTS and MS on the basis of ensured call quality, thus reducing the interference of the whole network and reducing power consumption Basis: Measurement reports from MS and BTS

Where
Where power control is performed BTS or BSC) MR Preprocessing
Transfer original MR Transfer BS/MS power class Sent Freq of preprocessed MR

Aim: reduce the load over Abis interface

improve the load over the BSC shortening the response time Notice

In 16K mode, if a TRX is configured with two or more SDCCHs, or if SD Dynamic Allocation Allowed is set to Yes, it is recommended that you enable BTS MR preprocessing. Recommendation that MR is reported once per second.

How
Step1: Power control request according to the RXLEV Adjustment based on level = [RXLEV (upper threshold + lower threshold)/2] Minus (-) means increase output power, positive (+) means decrease output power. Requested adjustment increaseMAX Up Adj. PC Value by RX_LEV Requested adjustment decrease Max Down Adj. Value Qual. Zone X Step 2: Power control request according to the RXQUAL RxQual>= UL/DL Qual Lower Threshold increase power Requested adjustment MAX Up Adj.C Value by Qual RxQual<UL/DL Qual.Upper Threshold decrease power Requested adjustment MAX Down Adj. PC Value by Qual. Step 3: Comprehensive power control decision Rxlev & RxQual one side need adjust, base it needed Rxlev & Rxqual adjust to same direction, choose the MAX value of them Rxlev & Rxqual adjust to contrary direction, Rxlev need raise then raise; Rxlev need lower then no action

Example
Assumption The uplink RXLEV is -85 dBm The RXQUAL class is 4. The data configuration is as follows:
UL RX_LEV Upper Thrsh.: -60 dBm UL RX_LEV Lower Thrsh.: -80 dBm UL Qual. Upper Thrsh.: 0 UL Qual. Lower Thrsh.: 2 MAX Down Adj. Value Qual. Zone 0: 16 dB MAX Down Adj. Value Qual. Zone 1: 8 dB MAX Down Adj. Value Qual. Zone 2: 4 dB MAX Up Adj. PC Value by RX_LEV: 16 dB MAX Up Adj. PC Value by Qual.: 4 dB

Implementation
To MS three MR periods are needed from the command is sent to the command is performed.
BTS sends commands for adjusting power and TA through SACCH The period for SACCH report is: 26 4104frames480ms BTS receives the measurement report

SA0 SA1 SA2 SA3 SA0 SA1 SA2 SA3 SA0

Among 26 multiframes, the 12th frame sends SACCH MS begins to use new power and TA

SA1 SA2 SA3

MS begins to send the measurement report in the previous multiframe

MS gets power control information

MS begins to report new information of TA and power control through the new SACCH

To BTS in the first MR periods the command is performed.

Exponential filtering ca_filtered1 (1) = ca (1); ca_filtered1 (k) = a*ca(k) + (1-a)*ca_filtered1 (k-1) qa_filtered1 (1) = qa(1); qa_filtered1 (k) = a*qa(k) + (1-a)*qa_filtered1 (k-1)
a represent the filter coefficients, a = 1 / (2^(K/2))K is filter length ca(k) is acuual signal strength in the kth MR qa(k) is acuual quality in the kth MR ca_filtered1 (k) is the filtering value for signal strength. qa_filtered1 (k) is the filtering value for quality HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

How
Step1: Whether power control is necessary
If( (SThrUp >= ca_filtered(k) >= SThrDown) && (QThrUp >= qa_filtered(k) + QOffFh>= QThrDown) ) step(k) = step(k-1); end; else go on;
SThrUp means HWIII DL RexLev Upper Threshold SThrDown means HWIII DL RexLev Lower Threshold QThrUp means HWIII DL RexQual. Upper Threshold QThrDown means HWIII DL RexQual. Lower Threshold QOffFh means hopping gain based on the lenth of MA, mapping as follow:

Answer
Step1: whether PC is necessary HWIII DL RexLev Upper/Lower Threshold : 33/25 Corresponding the range of Rxlev77dBm 85dBm Current Rxlev is -83dBm in the range HWIII DL RexQual. Upper/Lower Threshold : 18/14. Corresponding the range of Rxqual13 Current value of Rxqual is 4 beyond the range, PC is necessary. Step2Calculate step st-ep(k) = - (sfactor *( BsTxMaxPower - g(k) - SThr) + qfactor*( qa_filtered(k) + QOffFh - QThr)); g(k) = p(k) c(k); c(k) = ca_filtered(k) + qa_filtered(k) - 10*log10 (1 + 10^( qa_filtered(k)/10)); Take it p(k) 0 ca_filtered(k) 83 qa_filtered(k) 12 SThr81 QThr16 sfactor=0.4; qfactor=0.6; Get step(k)=8.3

because step(k) >0 step(k) =0; Because step(k) step(k1) =0; no PC order

Features
Exponential Filtering Exponential filtering accelerates the processing rate for the filtering based on the MRs Interpolation Optimization Used for the lost values in the MR. Interpolation optimization uses the signal levels in the last MR for the lost signal levels and uses a constant value 7 for the lost signal quality values. Comprehensive Decision Uses an universal decision formula that comprehends the receive level and quality. Thus, the rate of the power control decision is accelerated. Different Thresholds The quality threshold is specified based on the service type FH Gain Consider the influence of frequency hopping during Power Control Judgment
