Power Control 2 Overview of Power Control
2 Overview of Power Control

E-UTRAN systems use the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) technology on the
downlink and the Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) technology on the
uplink. With these technologies, the subcarriers of user equipment (UEs) in a cell are orthogonal. Power
control compensates for path loss and shadow fading, counteracts interference between intra-frequency
E-UTRAN cells, and helps meet coverage and capacity requirements. Power control in E-UTRAN is
classified by signal direction into uplink power control and downlink power control.
In the E-UTRAN, power control is performed on eNodeBs and UEs for the following purposes:
 Ensuring quality of service
Power control adjusts the transmit power of eNodeBs and UEs to the optimal levels to provide services
of a certain quality level that meets the requirement for the block error rate (BLER).
 Reducing interference
Power control reduces interference in a cell, which mainly comes from neighboring cells.
 Lowering power consumption
Uplink power control lowers the power consumption of UEs.
 Expanding coverage and capacity
Downlink power control allocates different power to UEs at different locations to meet requirements for
coverage. In addition, downlink power control reduces the transmit power allocated to each UE to a
minimum, so that the allocated power meets the requirement for the signal to interference plus noise
ratio (SINR). In this way, downlink power control expands system capacity.
Interference to neighboring cells mainly comes from UEs on cell edges. To reduce interference, uplink
power control uses a technique known as Fractional Power Compensation (FPC) to lower the
interference to neighboring cells, increasing network capacity.
This document describes the following features:
 LBFD-002016 Dynamic Downlink Power Allocation
 LBFD-002026 Uplink Power Control
2.1 LBFD-002016 Dynamic Downlink Power Allocation

This feature is basic. Downlink power control is performed on downlink physical signals, traffic channels,
and control channels. It allocates power to the following signals and channels:
 Cell-specific reference signal
 Synchronization signal
 Physical broadcast channel (PBCH)
 Physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH)
 Physical downlink control channel (PDCCH)
 Physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)
 Physical HARQ indicator channel (PHICH)
Currently, eNodeBs do not support the physical multicast channel (PMCH).
2.2 LBFD-002026 Uplink Power Control

This feature is basic. Uplink power control is performed on uplink physical signals, traffic channels, and
control channels. It controls power of the following signals and channels:

Power Control 3 Downlink Power Control
3 Downlink Power Control

3.1 Overview
This chapter describes the basic feature LBFD-002016 Dynamic Downlink Power Allocation.
Downlink power control is achieved using either of the following techniques:
 Fixed power assignment
Fixed power assignment is applicable to the cell-specific reference signal, synchronization signal,
PBCH, PCFICH, and the PDCCH and PDSCH that carry common information of the cell. Users
configure fixed power based on channel quality. The configured power must meet the requirements for
the downlink coverage of the cell.
 Dynamic power control
Dynamic power control is applicable to channels such as PHICH, PDCCH, and PDSCH. Dynamic
power control lowers interference, expands cell capacity, and increases coverage while meeting users'
quality of service (QoS) requirements.
For details about configuring parameters, see chapter 7 "Engineering Guidelines."
3.2 Power Allocation for Cell-specific Reference Signals

The cell-specific reference signal is transmitted in all downlink subframes. The signal serves as a basis
for downlink channel estimation, which is used for data demodulation.
The power for the cell-specific reference signal is set using the PDSCHCfg.ReferenceSignalPwr
parameter, which indicates the energy per resource element (EPRE) of the cell-specific reference signal.
3.3 Power Allocation for Synchronization Signals

The synchronization signal is used for cell search and system synchronization. There are two types of
synchronization signals, the primary synchronization channel (P-SCH) and the secondary
synchronization channel (S-SCH).
The offset of the power for the P-SCH and S-SCH against the power for the cell-specific reference signal
is set using the CellChPwrCfg.SchPwr parameter.
The transmit power for the P-SCH and S-SCH is calculated using the following formula:
PowerSCH = ReferenceSignalPwr +SchPwr
3.4 Power Allocation for the PBCH

On the PBCH, broadcast messages are sent in each frame. The messages carry the basic system
information of the cell, such as the cell bandwidth, antenna configuration, and frame number.
The offset of the power for the PBCH against the power for the cell-specific reference signal is set using
the CellChPwrCfg.PbchPwr parameter.
The transmit power for the PBCH is calculated using the following formula:
PowerPBCH = ReferenceSignalPwr + PbchPwr

eRAN
3.5 Power Allocation for the PCFICH

The PCFICH carries the number of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols used for
PDCCH transmission in a subframe. The PCFICH is always mapped to the first OFDM symbol of each
subframe.
The power for the PCFICH is set using the CellChPwrCfg.PcfichPwr parameter, which indicates an
offset of the power for the PCFICH against the power for the cell-specific reference signal.
The transmit power for the PCFICH is calculated using the following formula:
PowerPCFICH = ReferenceSignalPwr + PcfichPwr
3.6 Power Allocation for the PHICH

The PHICH carries the ACK/NACK information of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ). ACK and
NACK are short for acknowledgment and negative acknowledgment, respectively.
A high probability of the UE incorrectly demodulating the PHICH will severely affect user throughput.
Power control ensures the performance of the PHICH for all UEs.
Power control for the PHICH is set using the CellAlgoSwitch.DlPcAlgoSwitch parameter.
When PhichInnerLoopPcSwitch under CellAlgoSwitch.DlPcAlgoSwitch is selected, the transmit
power for the PHICH is periodically adjusted to adapt to change in path loss and shadow fading
according to the difference between the estimated SINRRS and SINRTarget. The SINRRS is estimated
based on the channel quality indicator (CQI). To minimize the impact of SINRTarget on cell radius, power
efficiency, and cell capacity, SINRTarget is set to a fixed value 0. If SINRRS is less than SINRTarget, increase
the transmit power. Otherwise, decrease the transmit power.
When PhichInnerLoopPcSwitch under CellAlgoSwitch.DlPcAlgoSwitch is not selected, the power
for PHICH is set using the CellDlpcPhich.PwrOffset parameter, which indicates an offset of the power
for the PHICH against the power for the cell-specific reference signal. The PHICH occupies very few
resources, which means decreasing its transmit power cannot significantly reduce power consumption.
In addition, the PHICH carries the ACK/NACK messages for the uplink data, which requires high
accuracy. Decreasing the transmit power of the PHICH may reduce accuracy and uplink data rate.
Therefore, PhichInnerLoopPcSwitch is not selected by default in commercial networks.
3.7 Power Allocation for the PDCCH Carrying Dedicated Control

Information
The dedicated control information carried on the PDCCH is as follows:
 Uplink scheduling information (DCI format 0, where DCI stands for downlink control information)
 Downlink scheduling information (DCI format 1/1A/1B/2/2A)
 PUSCH/PUCCH transmit power control (TPC) commands (DCI format 3/3A)
A high probability of the UE incorrectly demodulating the PDCCH will severely affect user throughput.
Power control ensures the performance of the PDCCH for all UEs.
Power control for the PDCCH is set using the CellAlgoSwitch.DlPcAlgoSwitch parameter.
When the PdcchPcSwitch parameter under CellAlgoSwitch.DlPcAlgoSwitch is selected, the eNodeB
checks the received discontinuous transmission (DTX) value and determine whether the transmit power
for the PDCCH meets the PDCCH reliability requirements. If the requirements cannot be met, the
eNodeB increases the PDCCH transmit power.

eRAN
When PdcchPcSwitch under CellAlgoSwitch.DlPcAlgoSwitch is not selected, the PDCCH uses fixed
power assignment. In this case, the offset of the power for the PDCCH against the power for the
cell-specific reference signal is set using the CellDlpcPdcch.DediDciPwrOffset parameter.
3.8 Power Allocation for the PDSCH Carrying RACH Response,

Paging Messages, and SIBs
When the PDSCH carries the RACH response, paging messages, and D-BCH (transmitting SIBs),
power control is performed to ensure coverage.
The power for the PDSCH carrying RACH response is set using the CellChPwrCfg.RaRspPwr
parameter, the power for the PDSCH carrying paging messages is set using the CellChPwrCfg.PchPwr
parameter, and the power for the PDSCH carrying D-BCH is set using the CellChPwrCfg.DbchPwr
parameter. Each of these three parameters indicates a power offset against the power for the
cell-specific reference signal.
3.9 Power Allocation for the PDSCH Carrying Information Other

Than RACH Response, Paging Messages, and SIBs
Power control for the PDSCH effectively improves system throughput and spectral efficiency.
Adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) and HARQ also improve system throughput and spectral efficiency. You can use
them in combination with power control.
3.9.1 Basics of PDSCH Power Calculation

In power control for the PDSCH, OFDM symbols in one slot can be classified into type A and type B:
 Type A symbols are those that appear during a symbol period when there is no reference signal.
 Type B symbols are those that appear during a symbol period when there are reference signals.
Table 3-1 lists the OFDM symbol indexes within a slot where the ratio of the corresponding PDSCH
EPRE to the cell-specific reference signal EPRE is denoted by ρA or ρB.
Table 3-1 OFDM symbol indexes
Number of Symbol Indexes Where the Ratio Is Symbol Indexes Where the Ratio Is
Antenna Ports Denoted by ρA Denoted by ρB
Normal Cyclic Extended Cyclic Prefix Normal Cyclic Prefix Extended Cyclic
Prefix Prefix
One or two 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 1, 2, 4, 5 0, 4 0, 3
Four 2, 3, 5, 6 2, 4, 5 0, 1, 4 0, 1, 3
Power control for the PDSCH determines the EPREs of different OFDM symbols by using ρA and ρB. ρA
is used to determine the PDSCH EPRE for symbol type A, and ρB is used to determine the PDSCH
EPRE for symbol type B.
The transmit power for the two types of OFDM symbols corresponding to the transmit power for the RE
on the PDSCH is defined by PPDSCH_A and PPDSCH_B. The calculation formulas are as follows:
 PPDSCH_A = ρA + PDSCHCfg.ReferenceSignalPwr
 PPDSCH_B = ρB + PDSCHCfg.ReferenceSignalPwr

eRAN
ρA = PA. PA is sent to the UE by means of RRC signaling for PDSCH demodulation.

ρB depends on the power factor ratio ρB/ρA. Table 3-2 lists the values of the cell-specific ratio ρB/ρA
corresponding to different PB values in scenarios with different quantities of antenna ports. PB is set
using the PDSCHCfg.Pb parameter.

1 4/5 1
2 3/5 3/4

3.9.2 Power Control Mechanism for the PDSCH

Power control for the PDSCH is related to the settings of the ENodeBAlgoSwitch.DlIcicSwitch
parameter and the switch for the downlink inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC). Power control for
the PDSCH is set using the CellAlgoSwitch.DlPcAlgoSwitch parameter, as described in Table 3-3.
Table 3-3 Power control mechanism for the PDSCH
Switch Setting Power Control Mechanism for the PDSCH
The ENodeBAlgoSwitch.DlIcicSwitch parameter is PA is set using the CellDlpcPdsch.CcuPa and
set to DlIcicDynamicSwitch_ON_ENUM or CellDlpcPdsch.CeuPa parameters for the cell
DlIcicStaticSwitch_ON_ENUM, indicating that center user (CCU) and cell edge user (CEU),
downlink ICIC is enabled. respectively. In this way, transmit power is
determined.
Dynamic power adjustment is not performed for
the PDSCH.
 The ENodeBAlgoSwitch.DlIcicSwitch parameter Dynamic power adjustment for the PDSCH is
is set to DlIcicSwitch_OFF_ENUM, indicating that performed. For details, see section 3.9.3 "PDSCH
downlink ICIC is disabled. Power Adjustment."
 The CellDlpcPdschPa.PdschPaAdjSwitch
parameter is set to ON or PdschSpsPcSwitch
under the CellAlgoSwitch.DlPcAlgoSwitch
parameter is selected.
 The ENodeBAlgoSwitch.DlIcicSwitch parameter Power control for the PDSCH uses fixed power
is set to DlIcicSwitch_OFF_ENUM, indicating that assignment. PA is set using the

 PdschSpsPcSwitch under the
CellAlgoSwitch.DlPcAlgoSwitch parameter is not
selected and the
CellDlpcPdschPa.PdschPaAdjSwitch parameter
is set to OFF.

eRAN
3.9.3 PDSCH Power Adjustment

During service provision, the PDSCH power adjustment algorithm tracks path loss and shadow fading
and periodically and dynamically adjusts the transmit power to meet the requirements for channel quality.
This is the purpose of PDSCH power adjustment.
Based on the service types carried on the PDSCH, scheduling on the PDSCH consists of dynamic
scheduling and semi-persistent scheduling. Power control for the PDSCH uses different mechanisms for
these two scheduling modes.
Power Control for the PDSCH in Dynamic Scheduling Mode

The power for the PDSCH is determined and dynamically adjusted based on PA when the
CellDlpcPdschPa.PdschPaAdjSwitch parameter is set to ON. PPDSCH_A and PPDSCH_B, the initial
transmit power for the PDSCH, are calculated as follows:
1. The eNodeB uses the CQI to estimate the SINRRS of the cell-specific reference signal. If no CQI is
reported, the default SINRRS_Initial value of the system is used.
2. To improve the user experience for UEs remote from the cell center, you need to set the target
CQITarget. To minimize the interference to neighboring UEs and ensure the user experience of other
UEs in the cell, set the target CQITarget to a value around downlink MCS order 0.
3. The initial power offset for the PDSCH, namely, PO_PDSCH, is calculated based on the estimated
SINRRS and CQITarget.
4. As indicated in section 6.3.2 "Radio resource control information elements" in 3GPP TS 36.331
V9.8.0 (2011-09), PA is a discrete enumerated value whose value range is {−6, −4.77, –3, −1.77, 0, 1,
2, 3}. Therefore, PO_PDSCH needs to be mapped to PA.
5. The initial transmit power for the PDSCH, namely, PPDSCH_A and PPDSCH_B, is calculated based on PA
and PB, respectively. The target value is fixed whereas PA is a discrete value. Therefore, ping-pong
PA adjustment may occur.
Figure 3-1 shows the process for calculating the initial PA value.

eRAN
Figure 3-1 Process for calculating the initial PA value
When the eNodeB receives a CQI reported by the UE, it compares the reported CQI with the previous
CQI. If the difference between the two CQI values is great, the process for re-calculating the PA for the
UE is started. For details, see Figure 3-1.
Power Control for the PDSCH in Semi-Persistent Scheduling Mode

Power control for the PDSCH in semi-persistent scheduling mode is set using the
CellAlgoSwitch.DlPcAlgoSwitch parameter and takes effect only on the UEs that adopt the
modulation mechanism of quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK). When PdschSpsPcSwitch under
CellAlgoSwitch.DlPcAlgoSwitch is selected, the RB resources occupied by the PDSCH for a UE are
fixed, and the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) is also fixed. Based on the difference between the
measured Initial Block Error Rate (IBLER) of voice over IP (VoIP) packets and IBLERTarget, the transmit
power for the PDSCH is periodically adjusted to meet the requirements for IBLERTarget. If the measured
IBLER is less than IBLERTarget, transmit power is decreased. Otherwise, transmit power is increased.

Power Control 4 Uplink Power Control
4 Uplink Power Control

4.1 Overview
This section describes the basic principles of power control for the PUSCH and PUCCH. The basic
feature involved is LBFD-002026 Uplink Power Control.
Power control for the SRS and PRACH is not conventional. In addition, the power for the SRS is determined by the result
of power control for the PUSCH. Therefore, this section does not describe power control for the SRS and PRACH. For
related descriptions, see section 4.2 "Power Control for the PRACH" and section 4.5 "Power Control for Sounding
Reference Signals."
Power control for the PUSCH and PUCCH how the eNodeB adjusts the transmit power of UEs by means
of TPCs.
Based on the power control parameter settings, interference to neighboring cells, and the results of
uplink data transmission measurement performed by the eNodeB, the uplink power control algorithm
calculates the TPC of a UE and sends the TPC to the UE by means of the PDCCH. Based on the
mapping defined in section 5.1 "Uplink power control" in 3GPP TS 36.213 V9.3.0 (2010-09), the UE
converts the TPC to the power adjustment value. Then, the UE determines its transmit power based on
factors such as the power adjustment value, its own maximum transmit power, the nominal power of the
cell, the path loss, the MCS, and radio resources. By adjusting the TPC, power control enables the
transmission performance of radio link to converge to the target value. In addition, TPC adjustment
suppresses the inter-cell interference.
For details about how to configure parameters, see chapter 7 "Engineering Guidelines."
4.2 Power Control for the PRACH

The purpose of power control for the PRACH is to ensure the random access success rate, minimizes
transmit power, reduce interference to neighboring cells, and increase UE battery life.
4.2.1 Basics of PRACH Power Calculation

The PRACH power is calculated using the following formula:
PPRACH  min{PCMAX , Po _ pre  PL   preamble  ( N pre  1)   step }
where
 PCMAX is the maximum transmit power of the UE.

 Po _ pre is the target power expected by the eNodeB when the requirements for the preamble detection
performance are met and the PRACH preamble format is 0. The initial value of Po _ pre is set using the
RACHCfg.PreambInitRcvTargetPwr parameter.
 PL is the downlink path loss estimated by the UE. This value is obtained based on the reference
signal received power (RSRP) measurement value and the transmit power for the cell-specific
reference signal. The transmit power for cell-specific reference signals is set using the
PDSCHCfg.ReferenceSignalPwr parameter. The Alpha filtering coefficient for filtering the RSRP
measurement values is set using the CellUlpcDedic.FilterRsrp parameter. The UE acquires the two
parameters from SIBs.
  preamble is the offset of the power for the current preamble format against preamble format 0.

eRAN
 N pre is the number of times the UE sends the preamble. This value cannot exceed the maximum
number of preamble transmissions.
  step is the preamble power ramping step. This value is set using the RACHCfg.PwrRampingStep
parameter.
The eNodeB sends Po _ pre and  step to a UE by broadcasting system information, and the UE
calculates the transmit power for the random access preamble based on Po _ pre ,  step , PL , and the
recorded N pre .
4.2.2 Po _ pre Setting by the eNodeB

The eNodeB sets the value of Po _ pre using the RACHCfg.PreambInitRcvTargetPwr parameter. If this
parameter is set to a small value, the probability that a preamble is correctly decoded decreases. If this
parameter is set to a large value, interference to neighboring cells increases.
4.2.3 PRACH Power Ramping for the UE

If random access by the UE fails before reaching the maximum number of preamble transmissions,
PRACH power ramping is performed, and the preamble is retransmitted. The PRACH power ramping
process is as follows:
1. The UE sends a random access preamble.
2. If the eNodeB correctly detects this preamble, it sends a random access response.
3. If the UE does not receive a random access response is not correctly detected, the UE accumulates
N pre
, recalculates the transmit power according to the PRACH power ramping step, and selects
another random access preamble.
4.3 Power Control for the PUSCH

The purposes of power control for the PUSCH are as follows:
 Lowering interference to neighboring cells and increasing cell throughput
 Ensuring services rates for users on cell edges
4.3.1 Basics of PUSCH Power Calculation

For each UE, the transmit power for the PUSCH is calculated using the following formula:
PPUSCH (i)  min{PCMAX ,10 log( M PUSCH (i))  Po _ PUSCH    PL  TF (i)  f (i)}
where
 i is the subframe number (for example, when i = 9, i is the ninth uplink subframe).
 M PUSCH (i) is the number of RBs used by the ith uplink subframe.
 Po _ PUSCH is the receive power expected by the eNodeB.
  is the path loss compensation factor.  is set using the CellUlpcComm.PassLossCoeff
parameter.

eRAN
 PL is the downlink path loss estimated by the UE. For details, see section 4.2.1 "Basics of PRACH
Power Calculation."
  TF (i) is the offset of the power for the current MCS format against the reference MCS format. If the
CellUlpcDedic.DeltaMcsEnabled parameter is set to 0,  TF (i) is 0. Otherwise, the impact of
 TF (i) is considered.
 f (i) is the adjustment of the PUSCH transmit power of the UE. This value is obtained based on the
TPC information on the PDCCH.
Po _ PUSCH is determined by the eNodeB and reflects the receive power density expected by the eNodeB
when the requirements for the PUSCH demodulation performance are met. The calculation formula is as
follows:
Po _ PUSCH  Po _ NOMINAL _ PUSCH  Po _ UE _ PUSCH
where
 Po _ NOMINAL _ PUSCH is the transmit power density for the PUSCH expected by the eNodeB when the
correct PUSCH demodulation is ensured. Po _ NOMINAL _ PUSCH is set using the
CellUlpcComm.P0NominalPUSCH parameter.
 Po _ UE _ PUSCH is the offset of the power for the UE against Po _ NOMINAL _ PUSCH . This value reflects the
impact of the UE level, service type, and channel quality on the transmit power for the PUSCH.
4.3.2 Initial Power Setting for the PUSCH by the eNodeB

In the initial stages after a UE accesses the network or is handed over to another cell, the measurement
values required for power control may not be obtained. At this time, the transmit power density for the
PUSCH needs to be set based on Po _ NOMINAL _ PUSCH and  , which are the nominal power for the cell
and the path loss compensation factor, respectively. In this way, the UE on a cell edge can successfully
access the network and maintain the service. Po _ NOMINAL _ PUSCH and  affect the transmit power
density. Small values of these two factors result in a decrease in the access success rate and service
rate. Large values cause an increase in the transmit power in the early phase after UE access and also
cause the interference to neighboring cells.
4.3.3 Transmit Power Adjustment for the PUSCH by the eNodeB

During service provision, path loss and shadow fading need to be tracked and the transmit power
density needs to be dynamically adjusted. The purposes of power adjustment for the PUSCH are to
meet service quality requirements, reduce transmit power, lower interference to neighboring cells, and
increase system capacity.
Based on the service types carried on the PUSCH, scheduling on the PUSCH consists of dynamic
scheduling and semi-persistent scheduling. Power control for the PUSCH uses different mechanisms for
these two scheduling modes.
In dynamic scheduling, power control for the PUSCH is set using the CellAlgoSwitch.UlPcAlgoSwitch
parameter. The principles are as follows:
When InnerLoopPuschSwitch under CellAlgoSwitch.UlPcAlgoSwitch is selected, the eNodeB
estimates the transmit power density of the UE and then periodically adjusts the transmit power for the
PUSCH to adapt to change in the channel environment and traffic load based on the difference between
the estimated transmit power density and the target transmit power density. If the estimated transmit

eRAN
power density is greater than the target transmit power density, the eNodeB sends a TPC command,
ordering a decrease in transmit power. If the estimated transmit power density is less than the target
transmit power density, the eNodeB sends a TPC command, ordering an increase in transmit power.
The transmit power density in the E-UTRAN system refers to the transmit power of an RB.
In semi-persistent scheduling, power control for the PUSCH is set using the
CellAlgoSwitch.UlPcAlgoSwitch parameter. The principles are as follows:
When CloseLoopSpsSwitch under CellAlgoSwitch.UlPcAlgoSwitch is selected, the transmit power
for the PUSCH is periodically adjusted to adapt to change in the channel environment based on the
difference between the measured IBLER and IBLERTarget:
 If the measured IBLER is greater than IBLERTarget, the eNodeB sends a TPC command to the UE,
ordering an increase in transmit power.
 If the measured IBLER is less than IBLERTarget, the eNodeB sends a TPC command to the UE,
ordering a decrease in transmit power.
The value of IBLERTarget is determined based on the requirement of the service in semi-persistent
scheduling.
The PUSCH TPCs of multiple UEs in semi-persistent scheduling are sent to the UEs in DCI format 3/3A.
In this way, signaling overheads on the PDCCH are reduced.
4.3.4 Msg3 Power Control in Random Access

Msg3 in the random access procedure is the RRC Connection Request message. When the PUSCH
carries Msg3, the transmit power of each UE's PUSCH is calculated using the following formula:
PPUSCH (i)  min{PCMAX ,10 log( M PUSCH (i))  PO_pre   PREAMBLE _ Msg3  PL   TF (i)  f (i)}
where
 M PUSCH (i) is the number of RBs used by the ith uplink subframe.
 Po _ pre is the target power expected by the eNodeB when the requirements for the preamble detection
performance are met and the PRACH preamble format is 0.
  PREAMBLE _ Msg3 is the preamble delta value of Msg3. This value is set using the
CellUlpcComm.DeltaPreambleMsg3 parameter.
 PL is the downlink path loss estimated by the UE. For details, see section 4.2.1 "Basics of PRACH
Power Calculation."
  TF (i) is the offset of the power for the current MCS format against the reference MCS format. For
details, see section 4.3.1 "Basics of PUSCH Power Calculation."
 f (i) is the adjustment of the PUSCH transmit power of the UE. This value is obtained based on the
TPC information on the PDCCH.
The transmit power for Msg3 is determined based on Po _ pre and the parameters related to power
control for the PUSCH. For details about Po _ pre , see section 4.2 _Ref276369212"Power Control for the
PRACH "

eRAN
4.4 Power Control for the PUCCH

The PUCCH carries the ACK/NACK information, CQIs, and schedule request (SR) information related to
downlink data. When the probability of incorrect demodulation on the PUCCH is high, user throughput is
severely affected.
The purposes of power control for the PUCCH are to ensure the PUCCH performance and reduce the
interference to neighboring cells.
4.4.1 Basics of PUCCH Power Calculation

The transmit power for the PUCCH is calculated using the following formula:
PPUCCH (i)  min{PCMAX , P0 _ PUCCH  PL  hn CQI , nHARQ    F _ PUCCH ( F )  g (i)}
where
 P0 _ PUCCH is the receive power expected by the eNodeB.
 PL is the downlink path loss estimated by the UE. This value is obtained based on the measured
RSRP and the transmit power for the cell-specific reference signal. The Alpha filtering coefficient for
filtering the RSRP measurement values is set using the CellUlpcDedic.FilterRsrp parameter.
 h n CQI , nHARQ  is determined by the PUCCH format. nCQI is the number of information bits of the CQI,
and it reflects the impact of the number of CQI bits of the PUCCH on the power. nHARQ is the number of
information bits of HARQ, and it reflects the impact of the number of HARQ signaling bits of the
PUCCH on the power.
  F _ PUCCH ( F ) reflects the transmission format of the PUCCH on the transmit power. It is set using the
CellUlpcComm.DeltaFPUCCHFormat1, CellUlpcComm.DeltaFPUCCHFormat1b,
CellUlpcComm.DeltaFPUCCHFormat2, CellUlpcComm.DeltaFPUCCHFormat2a, and
CellUlpcComm.DeltaFPUCCHFormat2b parameters.
 g (i) is the adjustment of the transmit power of the UE's PUCCH, and it is obtained based on the TPC
information on the PDCCH.
P0 _ PUCCH is determined by the eNodeB and is the receive power expected by the eNodeB when the
requirements for the PUCCH demodulation performance are met. The calculation formula is as follows:
Po _ PUCCH  Po _ NOMINAL _ PUCCH  Po _ UE _ PUCCH
where
 Po _ NOMINAL _ PUCCH is the target signal power expected by the eNodeB for the reference transmission
format. Po _ NOMINAL _ PUCCH is set using the CellUlpcComm.P0NominalPUCCH parameter.
 Po _ UE _ PUCCH is the offset of the power for the UE against Po _ NOMINAL _ PUCCH . This value reflects the
impact of the UE level, service type, and channel quality on the transmit power for the PUCCH.

eRAN
4.4.2 Initial Power Setting for the PUCCH by the eNodeB

In the initial stages after a UE accesses the network or is handed over to another cell, the transmit power
for the PUCCH is set using the nominal power Po _ NOMINAL _ PUCCH . This ensures that UEs on the cell
edge can successfully attach to the network.
4.4.3 Transmit Power Adjustment for the PUCCH by the eNodeB

During service provision, path loss and shadow fading need to be tracked and the transmit power needs
to be periodically and dynamically adjusted to meet the requirements for channel quality. This is the
purpose of PUCCH power adjustment.
Power control for the PUCCH is set using the CellAlgoSwitch.UlPcAlgoSwitch parameter. The
principles are as follows:
When InnerLoopPucchSwitch under CellAlgoSwitch.UlPcAlgoSwitch is selected, the transmit power
for the PUCCH is periodically adjusted to adapt to change in the channel environment based on the
difference between the measured SINR and SINRTarget:
 If the measured SINR is greater than SINRTarget, the eNodeB sends a TPC command to the UE,
ordering an increase in transmit power.
 If the measured SINR is less than SINRTarget, the eNodeB sends a TPC command to the UE, ordering
a decrease in transmit power.
The value of SINRTarget is determined based on the BLER requirements in different PUCCH formats and
the decoding capability of the eNodeB.
The PUCCH TPCs of multiple UEs in semi-persistent scheduling are sent to the UEs in DCI format 3/3A.
This reduces signaling overheads on the PDCCH.
4.5 Power Control for Sounding Reference Signals

The SRS is used for uplink channel estimation and uplink timing. Power control for the SRS ensures the
accuracy in uplink channel estimation and uplink timing.
4.5.1 Basics of SRS Power Calculation

The SRS power is calculated using the following formula:
PSRS (i)  min{PCMAX , 10 log( M SRS )  PSRS _ OFFSET  P0 _ PUSCH    PL  f (i)}
where
 M SRS is the transmission bandwidth of the SRS.
 PSRS _ OFFSET is the offset of the SRS power against the PUSCH power. This value is set using the
CellUlpcDedic.PsrsOffsetDeltaMcsDisable or CellUlpcDedic.PSrsOffsetDeltaMcsEnable
parameters based on different CellUlpcDedic.DeltaMcsEnabled values.
 Po _ PUSCH is the value in dynamic scheduling for the PUSCH.
  is the path loss compensation factor, and it is set using the CellUlpcComm.PassLossCoeff
parameter.

eRAN
 PL is the downlink path loss estimated by the UE. This value is calculated based on the measured
RSRP value and the transmit power for the cell-specific reference signal. The Alpha filtering coefficient
for filtering the RSRP measurement values is set using the CellUlpcDedic.FilterRsrp parameter.
 f (i) is the adjustment of the transmit power of the UE's PUSCH, and it is obtained based on the TPC
information on the PDCCH.
4.5.2 SRS Transmit Power Setting by the eNodeB

The transmit power for the SRS is determined based on the configured SRS power offset, resource
amount, and the parameters related to power control for the PUSCH, namely, Po _ PUSCH and f (i ) .

Power Control 6 Impact on the Network
6 Impact on the Network

This chapter describes the impact of power control on system capacity and network performance.
6.1 Downlink Power Control

This section describes the impact of downlink power control, which involves channels such as the
PDSCH, PDCCH, PCFICH, and PHICH.
6.1.1 Impact on System Capacity

Power control for the PDSCH has an immediate impact on downlink system capacity. The settings of PA,
PB, and power for cell-specific reference signals all affect cell throughput. These settings determine the
total power used in a cell. Large values result in high interference to neighboring cells, and small values
cause a waste of power, less coverage, and reduced throughput.
Turning on CellDlpcPdschPa.PdschPaAdjSwitch may increase the data rate of UEs under severe
interference in the downlink. However, turning on this switch may waste RB resources in multi-UE
scenarios. This will bring negative gains to cell throughput and increase overall interference on the entire
network.
Good performance of the PCFICH, PHICH, and PDCCH ensures basic functionality of the system.
Power control for these channels affects channel reliability, and channel reliability in turn affects various
performance indicators:
 Power control for the PCFICH has an impact on PDCCH demodulation and uplink and downlink
throughput.
 Power control for the PHICH has an impact on uplink ACK/NACK demodulation and uplink HARQ and
therefore affects indicators such as uplink throughput and latency.
 The PDCCH carries UE-specific information. Power control for the PDCCH has an impact on
indicators such as uplink and downlink throughput and latency.
6.1.2 Impact on Network Performance

Downlink power control has an impact on key performance indicators (KPIs) in the following aspects:
 Access success rate
Downlink power control affects message transmission reliability during the access procedure. The
power offsets for downlink channels affect the network coverage for access. To enhance coverage,
ensure that the coverage levels of uplink and downlink channels are the same.
 Handover success rate
For example, power control for the PDCCH and PDSCH affects delivery of handover commands. This
has an impact on the handover success rate.
 Service drop rate
For example, power control for the PDCCH affects PDCCH reliability and further affects transmission
on other uplink and downlink channels. This has an impact on the service drop rate.
6.2 Uplink Power Control

This section describes the impact of uplink power control, which involves channels such as the PUSCH,
PUCCH, and PRACH.

eRAN
Power Control 6 Impact on the Network
6.2.1 Impact on System Capacity

Uplink power control has an impact on system capacity in following aspects:
 Power control for the PUSCH determines the transmit power of each UE and the number of RBs
allocated for uplink transmission. Therefore, it has an immediate impact on uplink system capacity.
 Power control for the PUCCH affects the reliability of uplink control information transmission. The
control information includes ACKs/NACKs. Therefore, the power control has an impact on downlink
throughput.
 Power control for SRS affects the accuracy of timing advance and SINR measurements and has an
impact on the performance of functions such as AMC. Therefore, the power control affects system
throughput.
6.2.2 Impact on Network Performance

Uplink power control has an impact on KPIs in the following aspects:
 Access success rate
Uplink power control affects message transmission reliability during the access procedure.
In addition, uplink power control determines the coverage levels of channels and affects the network
coverage for access. To enhance coverage, ensure that the coverage levels of uplink and downlink
channels are the same.

for the PRACH, PUSCH, and PUCCH affects the random access procedure.

Power Control 7 Engineering Guidelines
7 Engineering Guidelines
This chapter provides engineering guidelines for power control.
7.1 When to Use Power Control

7.1.1 Downlink Power Control
This section describes when to use downlink power control.
Dynamic Power Adjustment for the PHICH

It is recommended that dynamic power adjustment for the PHICH (controlled by
PhichInnerLoopPcSwitch) be disabled to use fixed power allocation for the PHICH. This is because
this type of power adjustment is generally used to reduce the transmit power for the PHICH, which
occupies very few resources. The PHICH carries the ACK/NACK messages for the uplink data, which
requires high accuracy. In addition, the default value of the PHICH power offset can satisfy PHICH
demodulation. Therefore, decreasing the transmit power for the PHICH cannot significantly reduce
power consumption but will reduce accuracy and uplink data rate.
Power Control for the PDCCH Carrying Dedicated Control Information

It is recommended that dynamic power adjustment for the PDCCH (controlled by PdcchPcSwitch) be
enabled to reduce the service drop rate and increase the throughput for CEUs.
PA Adjustment for the PDSCH in Dynamic Scheduling Mode

It is recommended that PA adjustment for the PDSCH in dynamic scheduling mode (controlled by
CellDlpcPdschPa.PdschPaAdjSwitch) be disabled to use fixed power allocation for the PDSCH. This
is because this type of power adjustment is used in severe interference to improve the user experience
for UEs remote from the cell center. However, turning on this switch may waste RB resources in multi-UE
scenarios. This will bring negative gains to cell throughput and increase overall interference on the entire
network.
The setting of CellDlpcPdschPa.PdschPaAdjSwitch takes effect only when downlink ICIC is disabled.

It is recommended that power control for the PDSCH in semi-persistent scheduling mode (controlled by
PdschSpsPcSwitch) be disabled to use fixed power allocation for the PDSCH. This is because the
power control brings gains in only few scenarios.
The setting of PdschSpsPcSwitch takes effect only when downlink ICIC is disabled.
Configuration Suggestions on Cell-specific Reference Signal Power, PA, and

PB
The three values (cell-specific reference signal power [denoted by PRS in this section], PA, and PB)
determine the transmit power for cell-specific reference signals, transmit power for data, and the numeric
relationship between the two types of transmit power. The three values affect downlink throughput and
some important KPIs such as the handover success rate and access success rate.
To improve downlink throughput and KPIs, configuration suggestions are provided as follows, which vary
depending on the main source of interference to the data of the local cell:

eRAN
 The main source of interference is cell-specific reference signals transmitted in neighboring cells.
This is true when neighboring cells are lightly loaded (cell load is lower than 20%). In this case, an
effective measure is to increase the transmit power for data and decrease that for cell-specific
reference signals in both the local cell and the neighboring cells. Specifically, the following settings are
recommended: PRS = 15.2 dBm, PA = 0, and PB = 0.
 The main source of interference is data transmitted in neighboring cells.
This is true when neighboring cells are heavily loaded. In this case, an effective measure is to increase
the transmit power for cell-specific reference signals in the local cell to improve the PDSCH
demodulation performance. Specifically, the following settings are recommended: PRS = 18.2 dBm, PA
= 3, and PB = 1.
7.1.2 Uplink Power Control

This section describes when to use uplink power control.
Inner-Loop Power Control for the PUSCH in Dynamic Scheduling Mode

It is recommended that inner-loop power control for the PUSCH in dynamic scheduling mode (controlled
by InnerLoopPuschSwitch) be enabled to achieve higher CEU throughput and fairness between users.
Closed-Loop Power Control for the PUSCH in Semi-Persistent Scheduling

Mode
It is recommended that power control for the PUSCH in semi-persistent scheduling mode (controlled by
CloseLoopSpsSwitch) be enabled or disabled as follows:
 Enable power control if uplink semi-persistent scheduling is enabled. In this situation, TPC commands
are adjusted based on correctness of the received initial-transmission data packets to decrease the
IBLER, improving VoIP service performance.
 Disable power control if uplink semi-persistent scheduling is disabled.
If the power control described in this section is enabled, it is recommended that inner-loop power control for the PUSCH in
dynamic scheduling mode also be enabled.
Inner-Loop Power Control for the PUCCH

It is recommended that inner-loop power control for the PUCCH (controlled by InnerLoopPucchSwitch)
be enabled to ensure PUCCH signal quality.

Power Allocation for Cell-specific Reference Signals
To verify whether power allocation for cell-specific reference signals takes effect, perform the following
steps:
Step 1 On the M2000 client, choose Monitor > Signaling Trace > Signaling Trace Management.
Step 2 In the navigation tree of the displayed Signaling Trace window, choose Trace Type > LTE >
Application Layer > Uu Interface Trace. Double-click Uu Interface Trace.
Step 3 Set task information in the displayed Uu Interface Trace dialog box and click Finish.
The Uu interface signaling tracing task is started.
Step 4 Double-click the new task in the task list on the right of the Signaling Trace Management tab
page. The task monitoring tab page is displayed.
Step 5 Deactivate the cell and then activate it.
Step 6 After the cell is activated, find the referenceSignalPower IE in the first RRC_SYS_INFO
message traced over the Uu interface. Then, check whether the value for the
referenceSignalPower IE is consistent with the value for PDSCHCfg.ReferenceSignalPwr.
If the values are consistent, the configuration takes effect. In Figure 7-1, the value for the
referenceSignalPower IE is 18, which means 18 dBm. The value configured for
PDSCHCfg.ReferenceSignalPwr is 182, which means 18.2 dBm. The two values are the same.
The minor margin of error is caused by the precision of IE values defined in 3GPP specifications.

Step 9 Move the UE to the cell center and check the real-time value for Power Offset of

Step 10 Move the UE to the cell edge and check the real-time value for Power Offset of PDCCH(0.01dB),
as shown in Figure 7-12.
When PdcchPcSwitch is turned on and the UE is in the cell edge, the eNodeB increases the
power of the PDCCH. When the value for Power Offset of PDCCH(0.01dB) in this step is greater
than that in Step 9, power control for the PDCCH carrying dedicated control information takes
effect. When PdcchPcSwitch is turned off, the eNodeB does not adjust the power of the PDCCH,

for CellDlpcPdschPa.PaPcOff. When downlink ICIC is enabled, the eNodeB allocates power to
the PDSCH according to UE attributes. In this situation, the value for PDSCH PA (0.01dB) is the

UE enters RRC_CONNECTED mode. Check the values for the mMEC and m-TMSI IEs in the
Performance Monitoring > UL Power Control Monitoring. Double-click UL Power Control
Monitoring.
Step 13 In the displayed UL Power Control Monitoring dialog box, set UEID-MME to the decimal value
IE, as shown in Figure 7-25. Then, click Finish to start the UE uplink power control monitoring.

Step 15 Check the real-time value for PUCCH SINR (0.01dB) and PUCCH SINR Target (0.01dB), as
shown in Figure 7-26.
When the PUCCH inner-loop power control switch is turned on, the eNodeB periodically adjusts
the transmit power of the PUCCH. When the UE is in the cell center, the value for PUCCH SINR
(0.01dB) fluctuates around the value for PUCCH SINR Target (0.01dB). When the PUCCH
inner-loop power control switch is turned off and the UE is in the cell center, the value for PUCCH
SINR (0.01dB) does not approximate the value for PUCCH SINR Target (0.01dB). Instead, it
fluctuates around a relatively larger value.

page.
Step 5 Enable a UE to access the cell and find the deltaMCS-Enabled and pSRS-Offset IEs in the
RRC_CONN_SETUP message traced over the Uu interface, as shown in Figure 7-27.
 If the value for the deltaMCS-Enabled IE is en0, check whether the value for the pSRS-Offset IE is
consistent with the value for CellUlpcDedic.PSrsOffsetDeltaMcsDisable.
 If the value for the deltaMCS-Enabled IE is not en0, check whether the value for the pSRS-Offset IE is
consistent with the value for CellUlpcDedic.PSrsOffsetDeltaMcsEnable.
If the values are consistent, sounding reference signal power settings take effect. In Figure 7-27, the
values for the deltaMCS-Enabled IE, pSRS-Offset IE, and
CellUlpcDedic.PSrsOffsetDeltaMcsDisable are en0, 5, -3 dB, respectively. According to the
algorithm defined in 3GPP TS 36.331, the value 5 for the pSRS-Offset IE equals -3 dB (-10.5 + 1.5 x 5
= -3 dB), which means the values for the pSRS-Offset IE and
CellUlpcDedic.PSrsOffsetDeltaMcsDisable are consistent.
