Exercise
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.

Exercise
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.

Power Control Judgment


During HW III power control judgment, system will calculate
radio channel gain.
Suppose: In SACCH period k, useful signal is c(k), interference
is I(k), radio channel gain is g(k) and transmit power for BTS or
MS is p(k). The below formulas are calculated by logarithm:
ca _ filtered ( k ) c(k ) I (k )

10 10
= 10 10
+ 10 10 (1)
Rx_lev Useful signel Interference

C/I qa_filtered(k) = c(k) – I(k) (2)


c(k) = p(k) – g(k) (3)

Copyright © 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page56

27
Power Control Judgment
Radio channel gain calculation:
According to (1) and (2), we can get c(k)
qa _ filtered ( k )
c( k ) = ca _ filter ( k ) + qa _ filter (k ) − 10 × lg(1 + 10 10
)
Input c(k) to (3), get g(k) = p(k) – c(k). So calculate the g(k)
for BTS and MS

Adjustment protection
For avoiding too rapid adjustment, parameter [HWIII DL/UL

power control step.

If the difference between power control step(k) and previous


one step(k-1) is bigger than maximum power control step
configured above, just take the maximum power control step as
the difference between them, so as to limit the current power

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.

Copyright © 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page73

MR Power Control Compensation


MR power control compensation means compensate the RXLEV
and RXQUAL to the values corresponding to the maximum
transmit power.
ca_comp(k) = ca(k) + PowerComp
qa_comp(k) = qa(k) + PowerComp
PowerComp indicates the decrease on the maximum transmit power
of BTS or MS
For Uplink PC PowerComp = min(MsTxPower, MsPoweMax) –
PowerUsedUL(k-1)
For Downlink PC PowerComp = 2*PowerLev(k-1)

Copyright © 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page74

35
Dual-coefficient Filter
HW PC III optimization algorithm adopts exponent filter, but the calculation of
factor A is different with PC algorithm III. And it adopts dual-coefficient for
MR filtering.
ca_filtered (k) =(1-A)*ca_comp (k) + A*ca_filtered (k-1)
If ca_comp (k) < ca_filtered (k-1), L=B; Otherwise L= FiltAdjustFactor*B

qa_filtered (k) =(1-A)*qa_comp (k) + A*qa_filtered (k-1)


If qa_comp (k) < qa_filtered (k-1), L=B; Otherwise L= FiltAdjustFactor*B
A = (1.012*L-0.7505)/(L+1.848)
B: [DLRexLevExponentFilterLen], [DLRexQualExponentFilterLen],
[ULRexLevExponentFilterLen], [ULRexQualExponentFilterLen]
FiltAdjustFactor: [III UL Filter Adjust Factor], [III DL Filter Adjust Factor]

Copyright © 2010 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. Page75

Power Control Step Calculation


HW PC III optimization algorithm adopts two sets of factors, and it can help the
system to avoid too low transmit power.
step1(k) = - { RexLev Protect Factor *( ca_filtered(k) - SThr) + RexQual Protect
Factor *( qa_filtered (k) - QThr)}

step2(k) = - { sfactor *( ca_filtered(k) - SThr) + qfactor *( qa_filtered (k) - QThr)}

step (k) = max(step1(k) step2(k))


If step (k) >0, then step (k) =0

Active Power Control Overview
In the initial stage of the channel establishment, both BTS and MS
transmit at full power, thus increasing the power consumption and
the interference.

In the active power control algorithm, the BSC estimates the


uplink/downlink power through the path loss and issues the power
control command through the CHANNEL ACTIVATION message.

Active Power Control Procedure


Step3: Band compensation between Main BCCH and TCH
If fmain BCCH and fTCH belong to different frequency bands, the compensation
between different frequency bands should be made for the path loss.
fmain BCCH :DCS1800 or PCS1900, fTCH :GSM900 or GSM850

UL_PATH_LOSS =UL_PATH_LOSS – PATH_LOSS_BAND_DIFF

DL_PATH_LOSS =DL_PATH_LOSS – PATH_LOSS_BAND_DIFF

fmain BCCH : GSM900 or GSM850, fTCH : DCS1800 or PCS1900

UL_PATH_LOSS =UL_PATH_LOSS + PATH_LOSS_BAND_DIFF

DL_PATH_LOSS =DL_PATH_LOSS + PATH_LOSS_BAND_DIFF

PATH_LOSS_BAND_DIFF: [Path Loss of Different Frequency Band]

Coordination between Active Power Control


and Common Power Control
The active power control strategy “only increasing, no
decreasing” is used instead of the original strategy
discarding MRs.

The active power control strategy is available in Huawei III


power control, while not available in Huawei II power
control.

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)

The MSs can bear more serious radio environment after


supporting SAIC.

The SAIC capability is indicated by Classmark 3 message.


Both HWII and HWIII support SAIC PC.

SAIC Power Control


If the MS support SAIC, the system can decrease the DL
expected receive quality level automatically.

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.
