Power Control Description
In the uplink, if a UE near the NodeB has too high transmit power, it may cause great
interference to other UEs on the edge of the cell or even block the whole cell. This is called
near-far effect. In this case, uplink power control is needed.
In the downlink, the system capacity is determined by the total of code power required for
each connection. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the transmit power at the lowest level
while ensuring signal quality at the UE. In this case, downlink power control is needed.
Power control is also used to avoid shadow and fast fading as well as power drift. By using
power control to avoid power drift, soft handover performance in the downlink is improved.
Power Control Types
Apart from uplink power control and downlink power control, the power control can be divided
into the following:
l

RAN
Power Control Description
Downlink power balancing is a power control method that is used to reduce the downlink
power drift of a given UE during soft handover.
For the HSDPA and HSUPA features, the power control types and algorithms are different. For
detailed information, see 3.2 HSDPA Power Control and 3.3 HSUPA Power Control.

Power Control Description
Downlink Open-Loop Power Control on F-DPCH describes how to calculate the initial transmit
power of the downlink Fractional Dedicated Physical Channel (F-DPCH) and the limits of the
F-DPCH power.
The UE acquires the System Information Block (SIB) from the NodeB. The SIB includes
the parameter values "Primary CPICH Tx power", "UL interference", and "Constant value".
2.
3.
4.
If no acquisition indicator is received, the UE increases the power for the preamble and
retransmits the preamble.
If a negative acquisition indicator is received, the UE exits the random access procedure,
waits for a specified time, and then reinitiates the random access procedure.
If a positive acquisition indicator is received, the UE exits the random access procedure,
sets the power for the message part, and transmits the message part.
The power used to send the preamble part and message part can never exceed the maximum
allowed uplink transmit power.
The preamble part consists of several preambles, has a length of 4,096 chips, and consists of
256 repetitions of a signature that is 16 chips long. There are a maximum of 16 signatures
available. The message part is 10 ms or 20 ms long and is comprised of a control part and a data
part. The data and control parts are transmitted in parallel.

RAN
Power Control Description
The UE measures the CPICH_RSCP value and calculates the initial power for the first preamble
with the following formula:
Preamble_Initial_Power = PCPICH transmit power CPICH_RSCP + UL interference +
Constant value for calculating initial TX power
where:
l
The PCPICH transmit power parameter defines the P-CPICH transmit power in a cell.
It is broadcast in SIB 5.
CPICH_RSCP is the received signal code power of P-CPICH. It is an average power of the
received signal on the P-CPICH measured by the UE.
UL interference is the uplink Received Total Wideband Power (RTWP) measured by the
NodeB within the bandwidth defined by the receiver pulse shaping filter. Such influence
includes the noise generated in the receiver. This value is broadcast in SIB 7.
The Constant value for calculating initial TX power parameter compensates for the
RACH processing gain. It is broadcast in SIB 5.
The parameters used in the formula are described in the following tables:

Recommendation
P-CPICH transmit power is related to the downlink coverage defined during network
planning. The default setting is 330, that is, 33 dBm.
l
If the value of this parameter is too small, it will directly influence the downlink pilot
coverage range.
If it is too large, the downlink interference will increase, and the transmit power that can
be distributed to the services will be reduced, which will affect the downlink capacity.
In addition, the configuration of this parameter has influence on the distribution of handover
areas.

Power Control Description
During the ramp procedure, the UE increases the preamble power by the value defined by the
Power increase step parameter and retransmits the preamble.
The related parameters are as follows:
l
l
l
The AICH transmission timing parameter defines the waiting time between two
consecutive preambles. To avoid collisions, the 3GPP standard specifies that the UE must
wait at least 3 or 4 access timeslots between the transmissions. The processing capability
of the NodeB is also taken into consideration when defining the waiting time.
The Power increase step parameter defines how much the transmit power is increased
each time the UE retransmits a preamble.
The Max preamble retransmission and Max preamble loop parameters define the
maximum number of transmitted preambles.
The Max preamble retransmission parameter specifies the maximum number of
preambles transmitted in a preamble ramping cycle.
Assume that the number of preamble retransmissions is n. Then, a preamble ramping
cycle is defined as the length of radio frames on which the n preambles are transmitted
over specific access timeslots. Therefore, the preamble retransmission cycle is variable.
Max preamble loop specifies the maximum number of preamble ramping cycles.
If no acquisition indicator is received by the UE, the ramp procedure will stop when the number
of transmitted preambles reaches the value of Max preamble retransmission within a preamble
ramping cycle, or when the maximum number of preamble ramping cycles reaches the value of
Max preamble loop.
The parameters used in the ramp procedure are described in the following tables:

If the value of Max preamble retransmission is too small, the preamble power may fail to
ramp to the required value, this may result in UE access failure. If it is too large, the UE will
repeatedly increase the power and make access attempts, which may result in interference to
other UEs.

Description
Recommendation
It is recommended that the value of Power offset be set to 3 dB corresponding to the TFC
for signaling transmission and be set to 2 dB corresponding to the TFC for service
transmission.
If the value of Power offset is set too small, it is likely that the signaling or the service data
carried over the RACH cannot be correctly received, which affects the uplink coverage. If the
value is set too large, the uplink interference is increased, and the uplink capacity is affected.
CAUTION
To change the value of Power offset, if the current cell is active and there is only one PRACH
in this cell, the cell must first be deactivated through DEA CELL.
The power of the data part is calculated with the following formula:
Pdata = Pcontrol x (d/c)2
where:
l
d is the power gain factor for the data part. The value is defined by the Gain Factor
BetaD parameter.

The larger the values of these parameters are, the wider the coverage of the corresponding
services will be. When the downlink coverage is exceeded, the uplink coverage and downlink
coverage of the service will become unbalanced. If the values of these parameters are too
small, the uplink coverage will probably be smaller than the downlink coverage of the service.
If there is no special requirement, use the default values.
The UE acquires the SIB from the NodeB. The SIB includes DPCCH power offset, d/
c , and rate matching attribute.

The UE measures the CPICH_RSCP value and calculates the initial power and power offset
between DPDCH and DPCCH.
3.
The UE transmits data on the DPCCH and DPDCH with power specified by the initial
DPCCH power and power offset.

Power Control Description
DPCCH_Power_Offset is provided by the RNC, and sent to the UE through the uplink
DPCH power control information element (IE) in Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.
The IE is included in the RRC messages for the following procedures:
CPICH_RSCP is the received signal code power of P-CPICH. The power value is an
average power value of the received signal on the P-CPICH measured by the UE.
The power offset for the DPCCH is calculated by the RNC with the following formula:
DPCCH_Power_Offset = PCPICH transmit power + Uplink interference + Constant value
configured by default

Description
c and d are calculated for the TFC, based on the signal settings for a reference TFC.
According to 3GPP, a combination of these two methods can be used to associate c and d
values with all TFCs in the TFC set (TFCS). These two methods are described in subsections
TS 25.214. Several reference TFCs can be signaled from higher layers.
The RNC calculates a new power offset for each TFC dynamically and signals the power offset
to the UE. To calculate the power offset, the RNC uses a single set of configurable reference
values that are defined by the Reference BetaC and Reference BetaD parameters. The
parameter values are stored for each predefined Radio Access Bearer (RAB) or Signaling Radio
Bearer (SRB). The Reference BetaC and Reference BetaD parameters are described in the

In a RAB combination, all the radio bearers use the reference values of the bearer whose
maximum bit rate defined in Transport Format (TF) is the highest among the bit rates of all the
radio bearers combined. For example, for the combination of 3.4 kbit/s SRB service, 384 kbit/
s background service, and 12.2 kbit/s AMR service, the reference power offset values applied
are those belonging to the maximum rate TF (12 x 336) of the 384 kbit/s background radio bearer.
Rate Matching
Rate matching is used for power balancing between transport channels, which is equivalent to
changing the bit energy of each transport channel. Rate matching improves the power usage and
reduces interference.
The rate matching is also used to:
l
Enable a CCTrCH to multiplex data bits from multiple traffic subflows; the system matches
traffic rates to physical channel rates.
Meet different QoS requirements: the system adjusts the coding redundancy degree of each
channel.
The higher the QoS requirement is, the higher the Rate Matching Attribute (RMA) value.
According to the RMA value for each traffic channel, the rate matching mechanism repeats more
bits, or punctures fewer bits of the services with higher QoS requirements. For services with
lower QoS, the rate matching mechanism repeats fewer bits, or punctures more bits. That is, the
rate matching mechanism meets different QoS requirements through adjusting the coding
redundancy degree of each transport channel.
The RMA value for uplink is defined by the UL rate matching attribute parameter, which is

Recommendation
The values of PSCH transmit power and SSCH transmit power must not be too large. The
parameter values can be adjusted based on the measurement in the actual environment, so that
the transmit powers of the synchronization channels satisfy the UE receiving demodulation
requirement. The transmit power should be just enough to ensure that a UE can implement
fast synchronization in most areas of the cell edge. Neither P-SCH nor S-SCH comes through
channel code spectrum spreading, so they produce more serious interference than other
channels, especially for near-end UEs.

Power Control Description
TPC is the power control step size. For detailed information, see 3.1.2.1 Uplink InnerLoop Power Control.
Npilot,prev is the number of pilot bits in the most recently transmitted timeslot.
Compressed Frames
In compressed mode, compressed frames can occur in either the uplink or the downlink, or both.
When compressed frames occur, the adjustments of the UE uplink DPCCH transmit power vary
as follows:
l
When the compressed mode is applied to the downlink, no TPC command is transmitted
during the transmission gaps. Therefore, the uplink DPCCH and DPDCH transmit power
of the UE remains unchanged during the transmission gaps. The UE only needs to adjust
the power according to the TPC command after the transmission gaps.
When the compressed mode is applied to the uplink or to both directions, the transmission
of uplink DPDCH(s) and DPCCH must be stopped during the transmission gaps. The UE
needs to resume the DPCCH and DPDCH transmit power as quickly as possible according
to the TPC command after the transmission gaps. This period for resumption of the power
is called a recovery period. The adjustment of the UE DPCCH transmit power in this
situation is described in the following sections.
Calculating DPCCH Transmit Power at the Start of the First Timeslot After a
Transmission Gap
At the start of the first timeslot after an uplink or downlink transmission gap, the UE changes
the transmit power of the uplink DPCCH with the power offset, DPCCH (in dB). The power
offset is calculated with the following formula:
DPCCH = RESUME + PILOT

When this parameter is set to MODE1, use PCA1 with the step

For RPP mode 0, the algorithm determined by the PCA value is used to process TPC commands.
For RPP mode 1, during RPL timeslots after each transmission gap, PCA1 is applied with a step
size RP-TPC instead of TPC. This is regardless of the value of PCA. Therefore, the change in
the uplink DPCCH transmit power at the start of each of the RPL+1 timeslots immediately
following the transmission gap (except for the first timeslot after the transmission gap) is
calculated with the following formula:
DPCCH = RP-TPC x TPC_cmd + PILOT
where:
l
RP-TPC is the recovery power control step size and is expressed in dB. If PCA has the value
1, RP-TPC is equal to the minimum value of 3 dB and 2TPC. If PCA has the value 2, RPTPC is equal to 1 dB.
PILOT is calculated with the following formula described in the Adjusting the UE Uplink
DPCCH Transmit Power in Compressed Mode section above.
After the recovery period, ordinary transmit power control resumes using the algorithm specified
by the value of PCA and with a step size TPC.
If PCA has the value 2, the sets of timeslots over which the TPC commands are processed should
remain aligned to the frame boundaries in the compressed frame. For RPP mode 0 and RPP
mode 1, if the transmission gap or the recovery period results in any incomplete sets of TPC
commands, TPC_cmd should be zero for those sets of timeslots which are incomplete.

Power Control Description
During compressed mode except during downlink transmission gaps, UTRAN estimates the kth
TPC command and adjusts the current downlink power P(k1) to a new power P(k) with the
following formula:
P(k) = P(k1) + PTPC(k) + PSIR(k) + Pbal(k)
where:
l
PTPC(k) is the kth power adjustment due to the inner-loop power control. The derivation of
PTPC(k) is described as follows:
If no uplink TPC command is received, PTPC(k) derived by the NodeB should be set
to 0.
The STEP = RP-TPC during RPL (defined in 3.1.2.2 Uplink Inner-Loop Power
Control in Compressed Mode) timeslots after each transmission gap. RP-TPC
= min(3dB, 2TPC).
PSIR(k) is the kth power adjustment due to the downlink target SIR variation.
For the DPCH, the power offset is calculated with the following formula:
PSIR(k) = Pcurr Pprev
where:
n is the number of different TTI lengths amongst TTIs of all TrCHs of the CCTrCH.
P1_coding and P2_coding are computed from the uplink parameters UE Delta
SIR1, UE Delta SIR2, UE Delta SIRAfter1, and UE Delta SIRAfter2 signaled
by higher layers as:

The principles for adjusting the SIR target in case of multi-services are as follows:
l
The maximum value of SIR target among multiple services is used for the SIR target
adjustment.
If one of the services requires increase in the SIR target, the reconfigured SIR target cannot
exceed that maximum value.
The maximum value can only be decreased when all the services require decrease in the
SIR target.
If (SIRtar > 0) and (SIRtar > maximum SIR increase step), then SIRtar(n+1) = SIRtar(n)
+ maximum SIR increase step.
If (SIRtar < 0) and (ABS(SIRtar) > maximum SIR decrease step), then SIRtar(n+1) =

Pref is the downlink reference power. For detailed information on the Pref, see Calculating

PP-CPICH is the P-CPICH transmit power in a cell. It is defined by the PCPICH transmit
power parameter. For detailed information on the parameter, see 3.1.1.1 Uplink OpenLoop Power Control on PRACH.
In a certain number of timeslots, the total adjustment must not be greater than 1 dB. The number
of timeslots are defined by the Max DPB adjustment step parameter. The implementation at
the NodeB is as follows:
The adjustment step is a fixed value of 0.25 dB.
l
If the Max DPB adjustment step parameter is smaller than, or equal to 4 timeslots, then
0.25 dB adjustment in each timeslot will be made. The total adjustment is 1 dB.
Otherwise, for example, if the downlink power balancing adjustment step is equal to 5
timeslots, the NodeB will make 0.25 dB adjustment in each of the former four timeslots
and make no adjustment in the fifth timeslot. The total adjustment is 1 dB.
The total power adjustment value must be a multiple of 0.25. The following rule is used to roundup the value:
Round(P/0.25) x 0.25
3-77
RAN
Power Control Description
The CQI feedback in the uplink is determined by the following parameters: CQI Repetition
Factor, CQI Power Offset, and CQI feedback cycle. Figure 3-6 shows the relationship
between them.
CQI feedback cycle refers to the cycle of UE providing CQI feedback. In each cycle, the
CQI is repeatedly sent within the CQI Repetition Factor consecutive subframes.
In each subframe, the CQI transmission power is equal to the associated UL DPCCH power
plus the power offset of CQI.
The NACK/ACK feedback in the uplink is determined by the following parameters: ACKNACK Repetition Factor, ACK/NACK poweroffset, and the HS-DPCCH Preamble
Transmission Indication.
At the end of about 19,200 chips after the UE receives HS-PDSCH subframes in the
downlink, the UE provides HARQ NACK or ACK feedback in the uplink within ACKNACK Repetition Factor consecutive HS-DPCCH subframes.
The transmit power of the UE is equal to the associated UL DPCCH transmit power plus
the ACK Poweroffsetor NACK Poweroffset, for NACK or ACK feedback respectively.
This version of RAN supports HS-DPCCH preamble. That is, a preamble and a postamble are
transmitted before and after the NACK/ACK feedback respectively. Thus, the ACK/NACK
decoding reliability is enhanced, and the transmit power of the first timeslot of the HS-DPCCH
subframe can decrease so as to reduce the interference in the uplink. The following figure shows
an example. In this example, the HS-DPCCH supports preamble, and ACK-NACK Repetition
Factor is 1. When preamble is supported, the power offset of ACK or NACK can be changed
to a lower level than that when preamble is not supported.
3-78
RAN
Power Control Description
Several power offsets are set between the HS-DPCCH and the associated UL DPCCH. When
ACK/NACK and CQI are carried on the HS-DPCCH, their power offsets, that is, ACK,
NACK, and CQI, are set in one HS-DPCCH TTI.
The transmit power of the HS-DPCCH is calculated with the following formula:
PHS-DPCCH = PUL DPCCH x 10HS-DPCCH/10
where
l
For the first slot of a TTI, HS-DPCCH means ACK when the UE responds with ACK
or means NACK when the UE responds with NACK.
For the second and third slots of a TTI, HS-DPCCH means CQI.
During a soft handover (SHO), the UL combining gain reduces the necessary transmit power of
the UL DPCCH. The HS-DPCCH does not have the UL combining gain to maintain its receiving
quality, so that higher power offset is required. When the UE enters or leaves the soft handover
state, the power offset of ACK/NACK and CQI may change accordingly.

Fixed power control: The transmit power of the HS-SCCH is fixed without consideration
of the channel quality but with consideration of the receiving quality of users in the edge
of cells.
Dynamic power control (based on CQI/ACK/NACK/DTX): The transmit power of the HSSCCH is dynamic, and the Frame Error Rate (FER) of the HS-SCCH close to the target
value. Thus, the downlink resource efficiency is improved.
NodeB acquires the PHS-SCCH,init, PHS-SCCH,min and PHS-SCCH,max according to the reported
CQI.

Be careful when setting the value of the E-DPCCH power offset parameter. If the value is
too small, the error probability of demodulating the E-TFCI will be high and the MAC-e PDU
will be lost, which will lead to a decrease in the throughput. If the value is too large, the EDPCCH will consume too much uplink load.

Recommendation
This parameter must be configured according to the QoS of the service, and the cell throughput
must be considered. Provided that the uplink DPCCH SIR keeps unchanged, if the value of
this parameter is too small, the time delay of the services on E-DCH may be too high because
of more retransmission attempts; if the value of this parameter is too large, the user may
consume too much uplink load. The parameter can be adjusted dynamically by the outer-loop
power control algorithm.

The RNC updates the SIR target of E-DCH in the jth OLPC period. This SIR target, ESIRtar
(j), is calculated with the following formula:
ESIRtar(j) = max [ min(ESIRtar(j - 1) + MaxDeltaSIR, MAXSIRTARGET),
MINSIRTARGET ]
where:
l
MINSIRTARGET is the maximum among the values of the Minimum SIR target

PO is the power offset, used for setting the power on E-AGCH, E-HICH, or E-RGCH in
different situations.
If the values of the parameters are too small, the demodulation performance of the
channels may not meet the requirement.
If they are too large, the channels will consume too much NodeB transmit power.
The power offset is set on the NodeB LMT through the parameters described in the following
tables.

No soft combination. The UE estimates only the FDPCH performance in the serving cell for power
control.
In different conditions, the number of radio links joining soft combination is different, which
leads to different gain values. The inner-loop and outer-loop power control on DCH is used to
ensure that the power for each data field on DPCH meets service requirements.
The RNC can adjust the power offset of the TPC field according to the conditions of the active
set to meet the demodulation quality requirement. As described in Table 3-12, the soft
combination range of any of the three HSUPA downlink control channels is quite similar to that
of the TPC field, which can be obtained by the NodeB. Therefore, the power offset of the TPC
field is used in the dynamic transmit power control algorithm.

RAN
Power Control Description
When dynamic transmit power control is implemented, the transmit power is calculated in each
timeslot with the DPCH-based fast power control algorithm:
P = PTPC + FUN(PowOffset, SF, SlotNum, SFDPCH, BitTPC) + SHO
where:
l
If the value is too small, the demodulation performance of the channels may not meet
the requirement.
If the value is too large, the channels will consume too much NodeB transmit power.
These parameters are not directly the ratio of the transmit power on E-AGCH, E-RGCH or
E-HICH to that of DPCCH. The transmit power on E-AGCH, E-RGCH, and E-HICH
should be calculated by using the method mentioned in this document.
l
SF is the spreading factor on an HSUPA downlink control channel. The SF is 256 on EAGCH and 128 on E-RGCH or E-HICH.
SlotNum is the duration of the information on the control channel. Table 3-13 describes
the values of SlotNum.

SHO is used to correct the transmit power and obtained from soft combination.
For E-AGCH, SHO is proportional to the number of radio links in DCH RLS with the
serving RL.

Power Control Description
When the UE is configured with only the F-DPCH, the power of the F-DPCH is
controlled on the basis of the channel quality in the serving cell, as described in Table
3-12, instead of increasing for soft handover. In this case, SHO is 0 dB.
For E-RGCH that is not in the serving E-DCH RLS, SHO is the same as that of EAGCH.
For E-RGCH in the serving E-DCH RLS, SHO is proportional to the ratio of the number
of radio links in DCH RLS to the number of radio links in serving E-DCH RLS.
When the UE is configured with only F-DPCH, the power of the F-DPCH is controlled
on the basis of the channel quality in the serving cell, as described in Table 3-12, instead
of increasing for soft handover. In this case, SHO is inversely proportional to the number
of radio links in serving E-DCH RLS.
For E-HICH, SHO is proportional to the ratio of the number of radio links in DCH RLS
to the number of E-DCH radio links in DCH RLS.
When the UE is configured with only the F-DPCH, SHO is inversely proportional to
the number of E-DCH radio links in DCH RLS.
The number of radio links in DCH RLS is used as above. This number is set to a fixed
value of 3, which is usually the maximum value of the RLS size. Then, an additional
power margin is reserved to guarantee the demodulation performance.

PowOffset = PowOffsetCfgAg + FUNC(PCPICH, CQI, MPO, CO, SF, BitTPC) - PTPC - SHO
where:
l
PowOffsetCfgAg is the power offset of the E-AGCH calculated on the basis of the DCH
power offset.
CQI is the channel quality indication. The UE reports the downlink channel quality to the
cell.
CO is the offset between CQI and CPICH Ec/No. It indicates the difference between the
HS-DSCH quality and the CPICH Ec/No. This parameter is defined by the UE. Its default
value is 4.5 dB.
PTPC is the transmit power in the TPC field of the DL DPCH or F-DPCH.
To minimize the effect of CQI reporting error, the CQI in this formula must be a value filtered by the
associated HSDPA algorithm.
3-122
PTPC is the transmit power in the TPC field of the DL DPCH or F-DPCH.
RAN
Power Control Description
NOTE
The downlink HS-SCCH exists only when HSDPA data is transmitted. Therefore a timer is required. After
the timer expires, CQI is used again to update the power offset.
The HS-SCCH-based power offset correction for E-AGCH can only be used when the HS-SCCH uses the
dynamic power control algorithm.
