Power Control Overview
Power control includes uplink power control and downlink
power control, Which are performed independently
Uplink power control: Adjust TX power of MS to let BTS receive
stable signal, reduce the uplink co-channel and adjacent
channel interference, reduce power consumption of MS

HW II Power Control
MR Interpolation – recover the lost measurement report
BTS may fail to receive the MR from MS, and it needs to
recover the lost measurement reports. If the lost MR amount is
within the allowed range (Allowed MR Number Lost), then
recovers the lost MR according to the specific algorithm.

MR. compensation
Purpose: Ensure the accuracy of selection of the history measurement
report before filter.
Implementation steps:
1. Put the current receiving measurement report into the measurement report
compensation queue.
2. Record the changed information of the transmitting power according to the
MS and BTS power levels in the measurement report.
3. After finish the measurement report interpolation, system will compensate
the receiving level of the history measurement report according to the power
change information. The compensated measurement reports will be the
original data in the filter process.
4. Filter the compensated measurement reports.

Purpose: Avoid power control later than needed, the delay is
dangerous in case of poor level or bad quality
Implementation procedure
1. Analyze the tendency of MR by the historical measurement
reports after interpolation.
2. Guide by the tendency, to predict the values of measurement
report to be received. There are 0~3 measurement reports
prediction, which are configured on LMT.
3. Filter the interpolated, compensated and predicted measurement
reports, and implement power control judgment.

HW II Power Control Judgment
Power control demand based on receiving quality
After measurement report pre-processing, the power control
module makes comparison between the expected quality level
and the current receiving quality level.
Calculate the step size of the transmitting power level to be
adjusted: increase the transmitting power in case of poor
receiving quality, and decrease the transmitting power in case
of good receiving quality.
Adopt fixed step size when adjust the transmitting power
according to the receiving quality.

HW II Power Control Feature
Adaptive power control:
Adaptive power control refers to changeable power control
strategy according to the communication environment, it makes
power control more effective and stable.
Automatically change the adjustable maximum step size of power
control according to different communication environment
(different receiving quality).
Adopt different power control strategies according to different
communication environments (different receiving quality and level).
Max. step is different between increase and decrease.

Exercises for HW II power control
Answer.
First, transmitting power to be reduced according to receiving level =
actual receiving level -(uplink signal level upper threshold + uplink signal
level lower threshold)/2 -55- (-60 + (-80))/2 (-55)-(-70) 15dB. As the
receiving quality is level 0, downward adjustable step size of quality band 0
can be used -- decrease 16dB.
Second, the transmitting power to be decreased according to receiving
quality = as “power control adjustment step size by quality” is 4dB, thus
decrease 4dB.
Therefore, according to the general judgement on power control, 15dB
should be decreased.

Exercises for HW II power control
Answer .
After the implementation of step 1 power control, the receiving
level becomes: -55dBm-15dB= -70dBm, Suppose the quality reach
already in level 1 here.
First: the receiving level value is between -80dBm~-60dBm,
needn’t adjust.
Second: the receiving quality value is between 0 and 2, needn’t
adjust.
Therefore, the uplink stable receiving level =-70dBm.

Exercise
Answer:
step(k) = - ( sfactor ( BsTxMaxPower - g(k) - SThr)
qfactor ( qa_filtered(k) + QOffFh - QThr) )
30 + 20 22 + 16
= −{{0.4 × [33 − 110 − ( − 110)]} + 0.6 × (12 + 5 − )}

Suppose the current g(k)=115dB, current quality:3(CIR=14dB) then
For level -90dBm<31-115<-80dBm
For quality 16<14+5<22

HW III PC Optimization Algorithm
The basic process of HW III PC optimization algorithm is almost
the same as the HW III PC algorithm, including MR preprocessing,
PC step calculation, PC implementation, etc.
The improvement for HW III power control optimization algorithm:
MR power control compensation (available for RXLEV and RXQUAL)
Dual-coefficient filter algorithm can achieve “fast increasing and slow
decreasing”
The power control step calculation adopt dual factors to protect low
RXLEV area.
Update the formula of power control step calculation.

Introduction to SAIC
SAIC: Single Antenna Interference Cancellation
SAIC is a generic name for techniques, which attempt to
cancel or suppress interference by means of signal processing
without the use of multiple antennas. (see 3GPP 45.903)
Copyright © 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page95
Copyright © 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page96
46
SAIC Power Control Data Configuration
If [SAIC Allowed] is “Yes” network uses
lower threshold for MS supporting SAIC,
while the corresponding BTS’s transmit
power is decreased too, thus the whole
network interference is decreased. At the
same time, [DL Qual. Upper Threshold]
and [DL Qual. Lower Threshold] are
increased by certain adjustive value (see
the next slide) basing on the original
value.
