Overview
2.1
Feature Introduction
Power control is an important method for radio link control. It is to optimize the emitted
power of MSs and BTSs to improve the frequency utilization efficiency and decrease the
interference. The dynamic BTS power control function allows the BSS to perform
dynamic control over the BTS output power. It provides a stable downlink signal to the
MS with minimized interference and power consumption.
The transmission power of the BTS is adjusted according to an overall judgment based
on the configured parameter, and downlink level and quality in the downlink
measurement report.
Power control is based on the following basic principles:
Power will be decreased appropriately when the level or quality is higher than the
expectation.
Power will be increased appropriately when the level or quality is lower than the
expectation.
Both level and quality factors should be taken into overall consideration to make
power control more accurate and effective.
According to the specifications, ZTE BTS has 15 steps of dynamic power adjustment with
2dB/per step which means the dynamic power adjustment range is 30 dB. By
configuration, the BTS can adjust the power one or two steps every time.
In some situation, the power can be adjusted more quickly. Please refer to
ZGO-04-02-017 Downlink Rapid Power Control for details.

Technical Description
Power control is an important method for radio link control. The dynamic BTS power
control allows the BSS to perform dynamic control over the output power of BTS. In ZTE
systems, dynamic power control is performed by BTS. The transmission power of the
BTS is adjusted according to an overall judgment based on the expectation and the
measurement report concerning the uplink and downlink level and quality.
Power control is based on the following basic principles:
Power will be decreased appropriately when the level or quality is higher than the
expectation.
Power will be increased appropriately when the level or quality is lower than the
expectation.
Both level and quality factors must be taken into overall consideration to make
power control more accurate and effective.
Although it is the network operators to determine whether to use the downlink power
control function, all BTSs have to support this feature. According to the specifications, the
BTS have 15 steps of dynamic power adjustment with 2dB/step, which means the
dynamic power adjustment range is 30dB.
The following picture shows the ZTE power control flow.

The steps are described in details as follows:
Step 1: The BTS receives a measurement report from the MS.
The MS sends measurement reports through the SACCH. The measurement report
message contains the measurement results about the current dedicated channels and
adjacent cells.
Step 2: The BTS saves the measurement report from the MS.
The downlink power control algorithm extracts the downlink reception level and quality
grades of the current channel from the measurement report and puts these values into
their original cyclic queues respectively.
Step 3: The BTS processes the original measurement data from the MS.
When the number of stored level and quality queues reaches their corresponding
averaging window size, the averaging process will be implemented with considering the
weight factor.
Step 4: The BTS sorts and works out statistics of the average data of the MS.
When the average value samples reach the certain threshold, the BTS will check the
average queues and works out statistics on the current level and quality status and bit
error rate.
Step 5: The BTS executes power control strategies.
According to the statistic results of the level and quality status and bit error rate, for the
BTS power control strategies, refer to the following Table 3-1.
Level status = 0: The level grade is normal (between the upper and lower limit of the
expectation).
Level status = 1: The level grade is lows (lower than the lower limit of the expectation).
Level status = 2: The level grade is high (higher than the upper limit of the expectation).
Quality status = 0: The reception BER is normal (between the upper and lower limit of the
expectation).
Quality status = 1: The reception BER is low (lower than the lower limit of the
expectation).
Quality status = 2: The reception BER is high (higher than the upper limit of the
expectation).

The detailed power control strategies are described as follows:

When the level grade is normal, and the reception bit error rate (BER) is normal, the
power control strategy is selected to keep the original power.
When the level grade is normal, and the reception BER is low, the power control strategy
is selected to decrease the transmission power.
When the level grade is normal, and the reception BER is high, the power control
strategy is selected to increase the transmission power.
When the level grade is low, and the reception bit error rate (BER) is normal, the power

When the level grade is high, and the reception bit error rate (BER) is high, the power
Step 6: Determining the BTS power control step.
The BTS output power is adjusted according to the dynamic BTS power control strategy.
If the power adjustment step is a fixed value, such as 2, 4 and 6dB, this is called common
power control. The BTS determines whether the rapid power control is used according to
the rapid power control parameter.
The rapid power control is an optional feature of the BSC. It can decrease the
interference of the whole system and satisfy the requirement of dynamic power control of
the fast moving MS. The power control adjustment range per time by the rapid power
control is no longer a fixed value, but an integral multiple of the cell parameter increasing
step or decreasing step of downlink power control. The rapid power control parameter
determines whether to use the rapid power control.
If the common power control is used, the step every time when performing power control
is the specified step set by increase step of downlink power link and decrease step of
downlink power control. The rapid power control being used must comply with the
following rules, where the level-related increase/decrease control is still to be judged. If it
fails to satisfy the conditions, the common power control will be used.
Increase the BTS power (due to level):
If LEV_DL + 2* INCREASESTEP < L_RXLEV_DL, there is step adjustment:

STEP = L_RXLEV_DL -LEV_DL,
10
LEV_DL refers to the current signal level. INCREASESTEP refers to the power increase
step, and L_RXLEV_DL refers to the lower limit of the expectation.
Decrease the transmission power (due to level):
If LEV_DL - 2* DECREASESTEP > U_LEV_DL, the step is as follows:
STEP = min ( PwrDecrLimit, LEV_DL- U_RXLEV_DL )
LEV_DL is the current value rather than the average value. DECREASESTEP refers to
the power decrease step. U_LEV_DL refers to the upper limit of the expectation.
PwrDecrLimit is the power decrease limits, which relates to the signal quality, indicating
that the rapid power decrease one time of corresponding signal quality is lower than the
value.
Increase the transmission power (due to quality):
If LEV_DL + 2* INCREASESTEP < L_RXLEV_DL, the step is as follows.
STEP = max ( (1+max(0,Qa)) * INCREASESTEP ,
L_RXLEV_DL - LEV_DL )
Otherwise,
STEP = (1+max(0,Qa)) * INCREASESTEP
Qa = QUAL_DL - L_RXQUAL_DL; QUAL_DL refers to the current signal quality and
LEV_DL refers to the current signal level, neither of them refers to the average value;
L_RXQUAL_DL refers to the upper limit of the expectation.
Decrease the transmission power (due to quality):
Power decreasing step caused by signal quality is limited, therefore:
If LEV_DL - 2* DECREASESTEP > U_LEV_DL,
STEP = min ( PwrDecrLimit, LEV_DL U_ RXLEV_DL,
(1 +max(0, Qa) ) *
DECREASESTEP);
Otherwise
11
STEP = DECREASESTEP
LEV_DL refers to the current signal level rather than the average value. Qa =
U_RXQUAL_DL AV_QUAL_DL, and AV_QUAL_DL refers to the average value of
signal quality.
Step 7: Implementing BTS power control and resetting power control data.
When the power control algorithm is used to figure out the required power, the BTS
modifies its transmission power based on this information. Once the BTS output power is
changed, all the measured data and stored queues will be cleared and reset to receive
new measurement reports for the next power control judgment process.
After each time of power control, a few more measurement reports that still use the
original transmission power or dynamically changing transmission power are likely to be
received, but the level and quality information contained is inaccurate and should be
ignored (other information, like adjacent cell information, is still valid.) Therefore, before
the next power control process starts, several measurement reports that are not accurate
enough will be ignored. The minimize Interval of downlink power control parameter is
used to specify a minimum interval between two power control processes.
ZTE dynamic BTS power is divided into 16 levels: 0 to 15. Dynamic power control is an
adjustment based on static power control. Dynamic power takes one level of static power
as its maximum value, named Pn, which can be adjusted downward by up to 15 levels, at
a step of 2dB. For example, if Pn = 45dBm, the power values corresponding to its
dynamic power levels are listed in the following table.

Impact on the Network

Activation of dynamic BTS power control can reduce BTS transmission power with stable
downlink signal strength, aiming at decreasing intra-network co-channel and
29
adjacent-frequency interference, lowering BTS power consumption and improving the

quality of radio link.
Only in special cases or under special requirements, the radio power control is enabled.
It is not recommended commonly.
Using dynamic BTS power control with reasonable parameter setting can provide the
following benefits:
1.
Decreases intra-network co-channel and adjacent-frequency interference, improves

network KPI, reduces TCH call drop, and enhances handover success rate.
2.
Lowers BTS power consumption and energy consumption, and prolongs the
lifecycle of equipment.
