 HW III Power Control Main Changes

The difference of HW II and HW III Power Control algorithm are:

• Initial Discarded MR. number

At the initial stage of channel seizure, the MR data is considered unstable/
fluctuating. So to avoid Power Control inaccuracy, system discards some
initial measurement reports.
In HWII: Discards 4 initial MR (fixed)
In HWIII: Set by parameter- Signal/Traffic Channel Discard MR Number

• MR Interpolation Method
The interpolation for lost values in the missing Measurement Reports are
optimized.

MR1 MRX MRX MR4 MR5

In HWIII, the interpolation value is as below:

If the Rx Level value is lost, the recovered value for missing MR is taken
from the last measurement report.
RxLev (MRX) = RxLev (MR1)
If Rx Quality is lost, the interpolation value is 7.

• MR Filtering
In HWIII, the receive quality is converted to carrier-to-interference
(C/I). The mapping is as below:

Then the C/I and the Receive Level shall be filtered using Exponential
filter and slide window.
In HW II, filtering is based on mean value filtering.

• MR Filtering
Exponential Filtering:
Receive Level

Receive Quality

Where: k= serial number of MR

a= exponential filter coefficient = 1/ (2W/2); where w= exponent filter length parameter

• MR Filtering
After Exponential Filtering, the result will be considered in the sliding
window:

• BTS Power Control Step Calculation
In HWII, power control decisions of the receive level and receive quality are
performed separately. The final decision is performed based on separate decisions.

• Power Control Step Calculation
In HWIII, a universal decision formula that considers the receive level
and receive quality is performed.
Step (k) = - {sfactor * (Bs/Ms TxMaxPower – g(k) – SThr) + q factor* (qa_filtered (k) + Q0ffFh –
Qthr)}
Sfactor= HWIII DL RexLev Adjust Factor
Qfactor= HWIII DL Rex Qual Adjust Factor
SThr = (SThrUp + SThrLow)/2
QThr = (QThrUp + QThrLow)/2
qa_filtered (k)= MR filtered receive quality converted to C/I
Q0ffFh= Frequancy hopping gain

g(k)= gain of radio channel (Pathloss of the channel)
