3GPP specifies the following PUSCH power setting equation:

where:
P
max
is the UE power capability.
M is the number of scheduled resource blocks.
α is the path-loss
completely for compensation factor, which is set to 1, so the open loop compensates
the path loss.
P
o
is the target PSD
rx
for each resource block, set according to the parameter pZeroNominalPusch. P
o

is common for all UEs in the cell.

mcs
is an MCS-specific offset and set to 0.
PL is the path loss estimated by the UE.
The f(Δi) is the closed loop power control part, while the rest is the open loop power
control part. Δi is
a UE specific power adjustment included in the uplink scheduling grant on PDCCH.
The closed loop power adjustments are used to enforce the open loop PSD
RX
target in the RBS. It is
updated fast enough to follow slow fading.
Formula for PUCCH Power Setting
PUCCH is power controlled independently via an open loop and a closed loop with
Transmission
Power Control (TPC) commands transmitted on PDCCH. The power setting formula for
PUCCH, as
per 3GPP TS 36.213, is as follows:
where:
P
max
is the UE power capability.
P
0pucch
is the target PSD
rx
for PUCCH, corresponding to P
o
for PUSCH. It is set according to the
parameter pZeroNominalPucch and signaled separately on BCCH System Information
Blocks (SIBs).
PL is the pathloss estimate and is the same as for PUSCH.
h(n) is a PUCCH format dependent value where n
cqi
corresponds to the number of information bits for
the CQI, and n
harq
the number of HARQ bits.
F,pucch
is an offset that depends on the information transmitted on PUCCH.
g(i) is the current PUCCH power control adjustment state.
The open loop part controls P
0pucch
, and the closed loop part controls g(i).

Below is a chart that demonstrate the power control under different path loss condition:
Figure 1 Illustration of Power Levels

The figure can be divided into four regions with different characteristics:

pZeroNominalPusch is met and SINR of PUSCH is constant.

and SINR for PUSCH decreases with a higher signal attenuation until SINR reach to
minimum
request SINR for the PUSCH.

the signal attenuation increases. The number of allocated resource blocks decreases.

and SINR for PUSCH decreases with a higher signal attenuation.

By increasing pZeroNominalPusch, the region 1 will be shrunk, the Region 2 will be

extended
further into Region 1 and the rest of the region unchanged due to limitation on Maximim
UE transmit
power.

As the minimum desired SINR

level at the RBS for base
stations configured with 2 or
4 receive
antennas are different by 4dB,
the defined
pZeroNominalPusch and
pZeroNominalPucch are also
differed by 4dB for different
receiver amount.

The values in braces indicate

[Level, Value, Units, Class]:

pZeroNominalPusch
[EUtranCellFDD=2RX , -100,
dBm, Global] is changed from
-106 to -100 with
permission of Global. This
parameter defines the
nominal component of the UE
transmit power for
Physical Uplink Shared
Channel (PUSCH) for NodeB
with 2 receive antennas.

pZeroNominalPusch
[EUtranCellFDD=4RX , -104,
dBm, Global] is changed from
-109 to -104 with
permission of Global. This
parameter defines the
nominal component of the UE
transmit power for
Physical Uplink Shared
Channel (PUSCH) for nodeB
with 4 receive antennas.

pZeroNominalPucch
[EUtranCellFDD=2RX , -116,-
110, -108 dBm, Local] initial
setting at -116dBm
is changed from -120, -110, -
108 to -116, -110, -108 with
permission of Local. This
parameter defines
the nominal component of the
UE transmit power for
Physical Uplink Control
Channel (PUCCH).
The two higher value are only
provided for sites with high
interference from external
network such as
WIFI that need to be launched
in time.

pZeroNominalPucch
[EUtranCellFDD=4RX , -120,-
110, -108 dBm, Local] initial
setting at -120dBm
is changed from -123, -110, -
108 to -116, -110, -108 with
permission of Local. This
parameter defines
the nominal component of the
UE transmit power for
Physical Uplink Control
Channel (PUCCH).
