 Introduction
 Ensuring quality of service
 Power control adjusts the transmit power to the optimal level to provide services of a certain quality level
that meets the requirement for the block error rate (BLER).

 Reducing interference
 Power control reduces interference in a cell, which mainly comes from neighboring cells.

 Lowering power consumption

 Uplink power control lowers the power consumption of UEs, and downlink power control lowers the
power consumption of eNodeBs.

 Expanding coverage and capacity

 Downlink power control allocates different power to different UEs at different locations to meet
requirements for coverage and capacity. Uplink power control reduce RB number to meet the
requirement for the signal- to- interference plus-and- noise ratio (SINR)

Uplink Power Control---- Overview

Uplink power control is performed on uplink physical signals, traffic

channels, and control channels. It includes power control for the
following signals and channels:
 Physical random access channel (PRACH)
 Physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)
 Physical uplink control channel (PUCCH)
 Sounding reference signal (SRS)

Power Control for the PRACH
PPRACH  min{PCMAX , Po _ pre  PL   preamble  ( N pre 1)   step}

PCMAX is the maximum allowed transmit power.

P o _ pre is the target PRACH transmit power expected by the eNodeB when the
requirements for the preamble detection performance are met and the PRACH
preamble format is 0. The initial value is specified by the
RACHCfg.PreambInitRcvTargetPwr parameter. If this parameter is set to a smaller
value, the probability of correct preamble demodulation decreases. If this parameter
is set to a larger value, interference to neighboring cells increases.
PL is the downlink path loss estimate. It is calculated in the UE based on the
reference symbol received power (RSRP). PL = RS - RSRP
 preamble
is the offset of the power for the current preamble format against preamble format 0.

N pre is the number of times the UE sends the preamble.

 step is the ramping step in power ramping of the preamble.

Uplink Power Control

Downlink Power Control

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd. HUAWEI Confidential Page 15

Downlink Power Control---- Overview
Downlink power control is achieved using either of the
following techniques:
Fixed power assignment
Fixed power assignment is applicable to the cell-specific reference signal, synchronization
signal, PBCH, PCFICH, and the PDCCH and PDSCH that carry common information of the cell.
Users configure fixed power based on channel quality. The configured power must meet the
requirements for the downlink coverage of the cell. PDSCH power control ensures coverage
when the PDSCH carries RACH responses, paging messages, and SIBs on the D-BCH

Dynamic power control

Dynamic power control is applicable to the PHICH and the PDCCH and PDSCH that carry
dedicated information sent to UEs. Dynamic power control lowers interference, expands cell
capacity, and increases coverage while meeting users' quality of service (QoS) requirements.
