5 Power Control
5.1 Overview
This describes the definition and purposes of the power control. Power control is used to control
the transmit power on radio links to improve transmission quality and reduce channel
interference.
Definition
Power control is an important method for radio link control. The BSC decides whether the
transmit power required by the MS and the BTS should be adjusted, based on the expected value,
measurement reports on uplink/downlink receive level and receive quality sent by the BTS.
The principles of power control are as follows:
l
If receive level or receive quality is higher than the expected value, the power is reduced
to some extent.
If receive level or receive quality is lower than the expected value, the power is increased
to some extent.
Improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the power control on the overall basis of receive
level and receive quality.
Purposes
Power control is used to control the transmit power required by MS or BTS while maintaining
the quality of the radio links. When the transmit power levels of the MS or BTS are minimized,
interference to co-channel users is reduced.

5.3 Technical Description

This describes the technical aspects of the power control, such as classification, procedure, and
algorithm of the power control.

This describes the classification of power control. The power control is classified into uplink
power control and downlink power control, namely, MS power control and BTS power control.
5.3.2 Procedure for Power Control
This topic describes the procedure of power control. The procedure consists of three
measurement report periods. In the first period, the BTS sends the MS a power control command
message. In the second period, the MS performs the power adjustment. In the third period, the
MS notifies the BTS of the adjusted power.

Power Control for MS

This describes the power control for the MS. If the transmit power of the MS is controlled
properly, the BTS can maintain stable receive levels and the co-channel interference is
minimized.
The MS power control is performed at two phases: initial adjustment phase and stable adjustment
phase. The differences of power control between the initial adjustment phase and the stable
adjustment phase lie in the expected uplink receive level and receive quality, and filter length.
Moreover, only downward power adjustment is performed at the initial adjustment phase.
1.
Initial adjustment phase

Initial adjustment takes place when a call connection is established. When a call connection
occurs, the MS accesses to the network at the power set by MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH.
If the MS does not support a power level, it transmits at the proximate supported power
level.
As the BTS supports multiple calls simultaneously, it must minimize the receive level of
a new call to ensure the quality of other calls. In addition, the strong interference from one
cell has impacts on the QoS of the calls in other cells.
For the classmark 3 MS that supports DCS1800, the MS accesses to the network with the
power set by MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH and Power Deviation when a call connection
occurs. If the filtered level is lower than the expected level, power control is not performed.
If the filtered level is not lower than the expected level, power control is performed
according to the following regulations:
l
Power to be decreased = (initial power expected initial power) x compensation factor

of UL path loss
Power after adjustment = current power power to be decreased
The purpose of power adjustment in the initial phase is to decrease the transmit power of
the MS as soon as possible until measurement reports on stable transmit power are obtained.
Then, the MS can adjust its transmit power based on the power control algorithms for stable
power adjustment.
2.
Stable adjustment phase

After the MS accesses to the network and the call lasts for a certain duration, and after the
BTS receives a certain number of UL measurement reports, the BTS performs interpolation
and filtering to obtain the actual UL receive level and receive quality, which are compared
with the standard UL receive level and receive quality. According to the power control
algorithms, the BTS calculates the power level that the MS should adjust. If the calculated
power level is different from the transmit power of the MS and meets application restrictions
(such as the step restrictions of power adjustment, the restrictions of the transmit power
range for the MS), the BTS sends a power control command to the MS.
The UL power adjustment enables the actual UL receive level and receive quality to be
close to the standard UL receive level and receive quality. The purpose of interpolation and
filtering is to handle the lost measurement reports and to ensure the stability of power
control algorithms.
Power Control for BTS

This describes the power control for the BTS. If the transmit power of the BTS is controlled
properly, the MS can maintain stable receive levels, the co-channel interference is minimized,
and the power consumption of the BTS is reduced.

5 Power Control
The power control for BTS is optional. The principle of the power control for BTS is similar to
that of the power control for MS. The power control for BTS, however, is performed at only one
phase: stable adjustment phase. When the received measurement reports are insufficient for
filtering, power control is not performed. Only when sufficient measurement reports are
received, the power control for BTS is performed.
The power control for the BTS consists of static power control and dynamic power control.
l
Static power control

The static power has 11 levels numbered from 0 to 10. The difference between two adjacent
static power levels is 2 dBm. For example, the maximum transmit power of the BTS is 46
dBm, and the power values corresponding to the static power levels are listed as Table
5-3.

Dynamic power control

Dynamic power control refers to the fine tuning on power based on static power control.
Based on a certain static power (Pn) as the maximum value, the dynamic power has 15
levels with the step 2 dBm by tuning the static power value downwards. Table 5-4 lists the
dynamic power values in case that Pn is equal to 42.

Features of Huawei II Power Control Algorithm

This describes the features of Huawei II power control algorithm. The features include MR
compensation, prediction filtering, dual-threshold power control algorithm, variable step power
control, adaptive power control, bad quality signal strength upper threshold adjustment, and
detachment of uplink and downlink power control.
MR Compensation
During power control decision, the BSC performs weighted filtering on the values of the received
level and of the received quality in several history measurement reports. The measurement
reports may be obtained by the BTS/MS at different transmit power. To ensure the accuracy of
the values for filtering, the values in the history measurement reports that are obtained at a
different transmit power from the current power must be compensated. If the currently
interpolated MRs and the compensated MRs are filtered together, the power control decision
can be more effective. You can set the MR.Compensation Allowed to determine whether
measurement report compensation is performed.
The measurement report compensation is calculated as follows:
l
If the reported power level of the MS (BTS) is greater than last time (that is, power level
decreases), the uplink (downlink) receive level in all the MR is subtracted from the variation
value of the power of the MS (BTS) (variation of power level x 2 dBm).
If the reported power level of the MS (BTS) is lower than last time (that is, power level
increases), the uplink (downlink) receive levels in all the MRs are added by the variation
value of the power of the MS (BTS) (added power level x 2 dBm).
NOTE
The measurement report compensation is for level instead of quality.
Prediction Filtering
The power control decision is performed based on the average filter value in history measurement
reports. That is, the average filter value is used as a reference for the current receive level. There
is an interval between power control decision and power adjustment, which delays the power
adjustment. Therefore, prediction filtering is added.
The principle of prediction filtering is that the variation of receive level and receive quality
maintains continuity in a short period of time. Prediction filtering samples N MRs, applies
weighting filter to them, and gives prediction on 03 MRs from the current time onwards.
Generally, the interval between power control decision and power adjustment is three MRs
(about 1.5s). Prediction filtering can ensure the accuracy of prediction. Power control decision
is implemented by filtering the predicted MR along with the interpolated MR or compensated
MR.
Prediction filtering enables the MR that power control decision is based on to accurately reflect
the radio environment when power adjustment occurs. Thus, the hysteresis for power adjustment
can be minimized.
NOTE
Power control algorithm is applied only to the receive level. If the filter length is less than 5 or the number
of predicted MRs is 0, the mean value filtering is applied.

Dual-Threshold Power Control Algorithm

Power control is used for the purpose of achieving good speech quality with low receive level.
Because of the radio link instability and external interference, the transmit power cannot be too
low. Therefore, Huawei adopts the strategy of dual-threshold power control algorithm. Dualthreshold power control algorithm adopts the following strategies:
l
Adjusting the power step based on the receive level

The threshold of the receive level is set to a dual threshold. Variable step for power control
is used for fast and accurate power control. The current receive quality is also considered
for determining power adjustment step.
Adjusting the power step based on the receive quality

The changing of receive quality is related to interference. The major interference in GSM
is the co-channel interference during frequency reuse. When the power of a call is increased,
co-channel interference is exerted on another call. The following case should be avoided:
If the power of the first call is increased, the interference in a second call is enhanced so
that the receive quality of the second call gets poor. To get a better quality, the transmit
power of the second call may be increased. By analogy, the group effect may occur.
The threshold of the receive quality is also set to a dual threshold. If the receive quality is
within the threshold band, adjusting the transmit power is not required. If the receive quality
is beyond the threshold band, adjusting the transmit power is required. For the power
adjustment caused by quality-related reasons, use a fixed step to avoid oscillation.
Adjusting the power control based on the receive level and receive quality
The effect on power control of both level and quality is considered. On one hand, the
requirements of both level and quality are met to the maximum extent. On the other hand,
in case difference or opposite requirements for level and quality, the stability of the
algorithm should be fully considered to prevent an unstable adjustment procedure.
Variable Step Power Control

Variable step power control is achieved according to the following regulations:
l
When the difference between the current level and quality and the expected level and quality
is big, adjust power with long step.
When the difference between the current level and quality and the expected level and quality
is small, adjust power with short step.
Adaptive Power Control

Adaptive power control changes the power control strategy based on the communication
environment, making the power control effective and stable. The adaptive power control consists
of the following two elements:
l
Automatically changing the maximum variable step of the power control based on the
communication environment.
Adopting corresponding power control strategy based on the communication environment.
Bad Quality Signal Strength Upper Threshold Adjustment

When you use the dual-threshold power control algorithm, do as follows:
5-12

Issue ()
5 Power Control
l
When the receive quality is higher than the UL/DL QUAL.Bad Trig Threshold, increase
the UL/DL RX_LEV Upper Threshold value and add UL/DL Qual.Bad UpLEVDiff.
When the receive quality is good, set the UL/DL RX_LEV Upper Threshold to a small
value to reduce the transmit power of the BTS and MS.
When the receive quality is bad, set the UL/DL RX_LEV Upper Threshold to a great
value to improve the speech quality.
Detachment of Uplink and Downlink Power Control

The detached configuration of power control step in upward and downward directions enables
flexible and fast power control based on the actual situation on the network. When the uplink
(downlink) signal quality or the receive quality becomes poor immediately, the upward power
control can be performed quickly. Thus call drop can be avoided.

Power control decision

In Huawei power control algorithm, the power control decision is based on signal
level and signal quality. The conditions for power control decision are as follows:
l
Whether the UL/DL receive level ranges from HWIII UL/DL RexLev Upper
Threshold and HWIII UL/DL RexLev Lower Threshold.
Whether the sum of UL/DL receive quality and HWIII MA FreqHop Gain ranges
from HWIII UL/DL FS/HS/AFS/AHS Rex Qual.Upper Threshold and HWIII UL/
DL FS/HS/AFS/AHS Rex Qual. Lower Threshold.
If both the receive level and the receive quality range from the upper thresholds and the
lower thresholds, the power control is not required and the power control step remains
unchanged.
5-14

5 Power Control
NOTE
2.
The power control decision on the BTS and the power control decision on the MS are
implemented simultaneously.
You can obtain the HWIII MA FreqHop Gain from the frequency hopping gain table based on
the number of MA frequencies. If there are more than eight MA frequencies, obtain the receive
quality gain when the number of MA frequencies equals eight.
The step of Huawei power control algorithm indicates the offset value between the transmit
power of the BTS or MS and the maximum transmit power, instead of the actual value of the
offset to be adjusted. This is where the difference between the Huawei power control algorithm
and the Huawei power control algorithm lies.
BTS/MS power control performance

The power control adjustment step is generated based on receive quality and receive level
in each HWIII Up Link/Down Link Power Control Adjust Period.
The step range needs to be restricted as follows to prevent excessive adjustment:
l
The adjustment step must not exceed the HWIII UL MAX UpStep/DownStep.
If the generated step does not equal the last step, the BSC sends to the BTS/MS a power
control command to adjust the power level of the BTS/MS.
Features of Huawei III Power Control Algorithm

This describes the features of Huawei III power control algorithm. Based on Huawei power
control algorithm, Huawei III power control algorithm has the following enhancements:
exponential filtering, interpolation optimization, comprehensive decision, different thresholds,
and FH gain.
Exponential Filtering
Exponential filtering accelerates the processing rate for the filtering based on the MRs.
To calculate the filtered signal level (quality), the exponential filtering applies the weighted
average method to the signal level (quality) in the MR of this time with the signal level (quality)
in the last MR. The weighted coefficient is calculated based on HWIII UL/DL Rex Qual.
Exponent Filter Length and HWIII UL/DL RexLev Exponent Filter Length.
Interpolation Optimization
Interpolation optimization is 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.
NOTE
If the number of continuously lost MRs is greater than HWIII Number of lost MRs allowed, the BSC
stops the power control procedure until it receives an MR.
Comprehensive Decision
Different power control algorithms use different methods for the comprehensive decision based
on the receive level and quality. Huawei power control algorithm uses the dual-threshold
(level and quality) method and divides the coverage area into smaller areas for separate
comprehensive decisions. Huawei power control algorithm uses an universal decision formula
that comprehends the receive level and quality. Thus, the rate of the power control decision is
accelerated.

5 Power Control
Different Thresholds
Huawei power control algorithm uses different quality thresholds for different rates. Different
rate coding schemes have different requirements for CIR. When half-rate channels are seized,
half-rate quality threshold is used; when full-rate SDCCHs are seized, full-rate quality threshold
is used.
At present, only the speech services are considered. The quality threshold for CS data services
uses either the full-rate or half-rate threshold based on the type of the occupied channel.
FH Gain
With the FH gain, the BTS can detects the frame error rate (FER) of the speech coding. Therefore,
the speech quality is significantly improved.
