2 Overview
To apply flexible power adjustment for AMR terminal, uplink and downlink dynamic
power target should be set. So power can be further reduced by using AMR channel
and proper BTS timeslot.
By using AMR power control, the interference in the network with both AMR and
non-AMR mobile phones can be further reduced. Lower interference will obviously
improve voice quality and enlarge network capacity, as tighter frequency reuse
pattern can be applied. AMR can also reduce power consumption of AMR mobile
phones by using lower output power.
1. This feature is related to Power Control in this way: This feature is a special
case of power control for AMR FR and AMR HR. For the AMR FR and AMR HR
coding odes, the power control status is described in details.
2. This feature is related to AMR in this way: AMR is a summary of AMR coding
modes, and describes basic AMR functions, while this feature is a sub-function
of AMR, that is, this feature works only when the system adopts AMR coding
mode.
3 Technical Description
Basic rules of power control:
Start
End
Downlink power control extracts downlink receiving level and quality on current
channel from measurement report message and puts it into original round-robin
queue.
If the number of receiving level and quality queues reaches the average threshold,
weighted average will be done for the valid data.
If the value of average queue reaches a threshold, statistics and sort will be done to
learn the state of current level and bit error ratio.
Form BTS power control policy based on calculated level and bit error ratio. Table 1
describes BTS power control policies. Where,
Level state = 0: level is proper (between the upper limit and lower limit of expected
level value);
Level state = 1: level is lower (lower than the lower limit of expected level value);
Level state = 2: level is higher (higher than the upper limit of expected level value);
Quality state = 0: receiving quality is proper with normal bit error ratio (between the
upper limit and lower limit of expected quality value);
Quality state = 1: receiving quality is lower bit error ratio (lower than the lower limit of
expected quality value);
Quality state = 2: receiving quality is higher bit error ratio (higher than the upper limit
of expected quality value);
If level is proper and receiving quality is proper bit error ratio, the power control
scheme is to keep original power;
If level is proper and receiving quality is lower bit error ratio, the power control
scheme is to decrease transmitting power;
If level is proper and receiving quality is higher bit error ratio, the power control
scheme is to increase transmitting power;
If level is lower and receiving quality is proper bit error ratio, the power control
scheme is to increase transmitting power;
If level is lower and receiving quality is lower bit error ratio, the power control scheme
is to increase transmitting power;
If level is lower and receiving quality is higher bit error ratio, the power control
scheme is to increase transmitting power;
If level is higher and receiving quality is proper bit error ratio, the power control
scheme is to decrease transmitting power;
If level is higher and receiving quality is lower bit error ratio, the power control
scheme is to decrease transmitting power;
If level is higher and receiving quality is higher bit error ratio, the power control
scheme is to increase transmitting power.
Based on power control policy, you can increase or decrease the power. If the step
of power adjustment is a fixed parameter, such as 2, 4, 6 dB, it is the common power
control. Depending on "Rapid power control indication", BTS determines if rapid power
control should be used.
Rapid power control process is an option of UR9000. Rapid power control can decrease
interference of the whole system and meet the need of dynamic power control of rapidly
moving MS. The amplitude of power control used by rapid power control process is not a
fixed value again but an integer multiple of power control step (increase and decrease).
Rapid power control indication determines if rapid power control process is used.
If normal power control is used, the step of each power control is the value of "power
increment" and "power decrement". If rapid power control is used, following rules
should be followed. The increment and decrement related to level should be determined
by some conditions. If the conditions are not met, the common power control method will
be used.
Where, LEV_DL is current value but not average value. DECREASESTEP is power
decrement. U_LEV_DL is the upper limit of expected level. PwrDecrLimit is power
decrement limit, which is related to current signal quality, which indicates that rapid
power decrement should be lower than this value for this signal quality.
Otherwise
Otherwise
STEP = DECREASESTEP。
Where, LEV_DL represents current signal level not the average. Qa = U_RXQUAL_DL –
AV_QUAL_DL;AV_QUAL_DL represents the average of signal quality.
Step 7: BTS power adjustment and zero reset of power control data
After the required power is calculated depending on power control algorithm, BTS
modifies its transmitting power based on power control information. Once power
changes, original measurement data is invalid, all measurement data and storage
queues are cleared , and the next process of power control decision begins.
After the power control, several measurement reports, in which original transmitting
power or dynamic transmitting power is used. The information about its signal level is not
right and should be ignored (other information is still valid, such as adjacent cell
information). So, if the next power control decision process begins, the inaccurate
ZTE BTS dynamic power comprises of 0~15, totally 16 grades. Dynamic power control is
adjusted on the basis of static power control. Dynamic power takes a static power as the
maximum, set to Pn, it can decrease 15 grades with 2dB step . For example, Pn=45dBm.
Table below shows its power that corresponds to its dynamic power grade.

Uplink dynamic power control refers to radio power control on MS. The purpose of MS
power control is to adjust output power of MS, enable BTS get a stable receiving signal
level, reduce the interference from same channel, decrease power consumption of MS,
and prolong average usage duration of MS. For uplink power control, MS power also
may be increased.
At the beginning of call connection, that is, at the connection beginning of MS and BTS,
UR9000 chooses the initial transmitting power of MS and BTS. If MS accesses the
network through RACH, it will transmit at the power allowed by the system message
broadcasted on BCCH. The system defines that the power level of the first message sent
on dedicated channel by this MS is also the fixed value. Power control will be performed
until power control command is carried in SACCH message block that is, the common
MS power control.
MS after BTS received some uplink measurement reports at the common MS power
control stage, uplink receiving level and receiving quality extracted from the
measurement report will compare with the defined threshold and calculate the power that
should be adjusted for MS. BTS sends MS power adjustment command to MS. The
Detailed procedure:
Except for step 2, the uplink power control procedure in BSS system is same as downlink
power control procedure. In step 2, BTS collects the uplink receiving level and quality
measurement report on BTS.
CS power control module in BTS uses different power control policies according to
channel types. As to specific methods of implementation, the process and algorithm, as
well as measurement parameters of power control are all the same for different types of
channels. However, for AMR-FR/AMR-HR and non-AMR (FR/HR) modes, different
control parameters are used, including uplink/downlink level threshold and quality
threshold, maximum and minimum power level, step and intervals.
