Power control
Adjust the transmitting power of BTS and MS when

needed.
Based on measurement reports of BTS and MS
Purpose
Save the power of BTS and MS
Reduce the interference of the network
Increase the quality of the network
Page3
Power control includes uplink power control and downlink

power control, Which are performed independently
Uplink power control: Adjust TX power of MS to let BTS

receive stable signal, reduce the uplink co-channel and
adjacent channel interference, reduce power consumption
of MS
Downlink power control: Adjust BTS TX power to let MS

receive stable signal, reduce the downlink co-channel and
adjacent channel interference, reduce power consumption
of BTS
Page4
Process of power control commands
It takes 3 measurement report periods(480ms/period)

from command sending to execution.
BTS sends the command for power

control and TA in SACCH header.
SACCCH report period:

26X4=104 frames (480ms)
BTS receives the

measurement report
SA0 SA1 SA2 SA3 SA0 SA1 SA2 SA3 SA0 SA1 SA2 SA3
MS adopts the new
power level and TA
In the 26 multi-frames,
frame 12 sends
SACCH.
MS obtains SACCH
block
MS begins to send the

measurement report of the
last multi-frame.
MS begins to set up a new SACCH header

to report the new TA and power control
message.

Power control judgment
Power control judgment is controlled by BTS

measurement report pre-processing item which can be
selected in handover control data table
MR. Pre-process (measurement report pre-processing):

This switch decide where power control be processed.
If measurement report pre-processing is yes, power
control is processed in BTS, and when setting it no,
power control is processed in BSC

Measurement report pre-processing -- interpolation
Each measurement report has a serial number. When the serial

numbers are discontinuous, this indicates that some
measurement reports must be missed. In this case, the network
will fill up the measurement report according to interpolation
algorithm.

Measurement report compensation
Purpose: Ensure the accuracy of selection of the history

measurement report before filtering.
Implementation steps:
1. Put the current receiving measurement report into the

measurement report compensation queue.
2. Record the changed information of the transmitting power
according to the MS and BTS power levels in the measurement
report.
3. After finish the measurement report interpolation, system will
compensate the receiving level of the history measurement report
according to the power change information. The compensated
measurement reports will be the original data in the filter process.
4. Filter the compensated measurement reports.

Measurement report prediction
Purpose: Avoid power control later than needed, the delay

is dangerous in case of poor level or bad quality
Implementation procedure
1. Analyze the tendency of MR by the historical measurement

reports after interpolation.
2. Guide by the tendency, to predict the values of

measurement report to be received. There are 0~3
measurement reports prediction, which are configured on OMC.
3. Filter the interpolated, compensated and predicted

measurement reports, and implement power control judgment.

HW II Power Control
Implementation
Power control demand based on receiving level.
After measurement report pre-processing, the power control

module makes a comparison between the expected signal
level and the current receiving signal level.
Calculate the transmitting power level step size to be

adjusted, making the receiving level value closer to the
expected value.
Adopt variable step size when adjusting the transmitting

power according to the receiving level, so as to achieve the
expected level as soon as possible.
Page17
HW II Power Control
Implementation
Power control demand based on receiving quality
After measurement report pre-processing, the power control

module makes comparison between the expected quality level
and the current receiving quality level.
Calculate the step size of the transmitting power level to be

adjusted.
Increase the transmitting power in case of poor receiving quality.
Decrease the transmitting power in case of good receiving quality.
Adopt fixed step size when adjust the transmitting power

according to the receiving quality.

HW II Power Control Feature
Adaptive power control:
Adaptive power control refers to changeable power control

strategy according to the communication environment, it
makes power control more effective and stable.
Automatically change the adjustable maximum step size of

power control according to different communication
environment (different receiving quality).
Adopt different power control strategies according to different

communication environments (different receiving quality and
level).
Max. step is different between increase and decrease.
Page20
HW II Power Control Feature
Power control within the upper/lower thresholds
As for HW II power control in case of calculating power

control step size according to signal level and quality, the
signal level and quality have upper/lower thresholds.
Power control will not execute if the signal level and
quality is within the threshold bands.
Avoid the signal level up-and-down caused by power

control.
The upper threshold can be increased dynamically in case

of bad quality.
Page21
HW II Power Control Advantages
Measurement report compensation -- makes power

control judgment more accurate
Measurement report prediction --to avoid power

control later than needed, the delay is dangerous in
case of poor level or bad quality
Power control expected signal level and quality

threshold falls within a band, this avoids receiving
signal level fluctuate up and down frequently

Exercise
Exercises for HW II power control
Given conditions:
The uplink receiving level is -55dBm, the quality is level 0. Power control
algorithm is HW II.
Data configuration is as follows: Uplink signal level upper threshold:
-60dBm, uplink signal level lower threshold: - 80dBm. Uplink signal
upper quality threshold: level 1. Uplink signal lower quality threshold:
level 2. The downward adjustable step size of quality band 0 is 16dB, of
quality band 1 is 8dB, and of quality 2 is 4 dB. The upward adjustable
step size of receiving level is 16dB. The upward or downward adjustable
step size for power control by quality are both 4dB.
Question: What will be the uplink stable receiving level after power
control?
Page29
Exercise
Answer.
First, transmitting power to be reduced according to receiving level =

actual receiving level -(uplink signal level upper threshold + uplink
signal level lower threshold)/2 -55- (-60 + (-80))/2 (-55)-(-70)
15dB. As the receiving quality is level 0, downward adjustable step
size of quality band 0 can be used -- decrease 16dB.
Second, the transmitting power to be decreased according to

receiving quality = as power control adjustment step size by quality
is 4dB, thus decrease 4dB.
Therefore, according to the general judgement on power control,

15dB should be decreased.
Page30
Exercise
Answer .
After the implementation of step 1 power control, the

receiving level becomes: -55dBm-15dB= -70dBm, Suppose
the quality reach already in level 1 here.
First: the receiving level value is between -80dBm~-60dBm,

neednt adjust.
Second: the receiving quality value is between 0 and 2,

neednt adjust.
Therefore, the uplink stable receiving level =-70dBm.
