Overview
Procedure for Slow UL Power control
UE controls the Tx power to keep the transmitted power spectral density (PSD)
constant independent of the allocated transmit bandwidth (#PRBs)
If no feedback from eNodeB ( in the PDCCH UL PC command) the UE performs
open loop PC based on path loss measurements
If feedback from eNodeB the UE corrects the PSD when receiving PC commands
from eNodeB ( in the PDCCH UL PC command)
PC commands ( up and down) based on UL quality and signal level measurements
Applied separately for PUSCH, PUCCH
Scope of UL PC is UE level ( performed separately for each UE in a cell)
1) Initial TX power level
2) SINR measurment
3) Setting new power offset
4) TX power level
adjustment with the new
offset

Power control does not control the absolute UE Tx. power but the Power Spectral Density
(PSD), power per Hz, for a device. The PSDs at the eNodeB from different users have to
be close to each other so the receiver doesnt work over a large range of powers.
Different data rates mean different tx bandwidths so the absolute Tx power of the UE will
also change. PC makes that the PSD is constant independently of the tx bandwidth

Conventional & Fractional PC
Conventional PC schemes:
Attempt to maintain a constant SINR at the receiver
UE increases the Tx power to fully compensate for increases in the path loss
Fractional PC schemes:
Allow the received SINR to decrease as the path loss increases.
UE Tx power increases at a reduced rate as the path loss increases. Increases in path
loss are only partially compensated.
[+]: Improve air interface efficiency & increase average cell throughputs by reducing
Intercell interference

Cell Power Reduction
PSD = (pMax - CELL_PWR_RED) - 10*log10( # PRBs_DL *12) - MIMO_COMP [dBm]
PSD: Power Spectral Density, which specifies the constant absolute Power per 15kHz Resource Element (RE)
pMax: maximum eNodeB transmit power per Antenna in [dBm]
CELL_PWR_RED: O&M parameter
# PRBs_DL: maximum Number of downlink PRBs in given LTE Carrier Bandwidth
MIMO_COMP: Compensation Factor
MIMO_COMP = 0 dB for SISO/SIMO
MIMO_COMP = 0...12 dB for MIMO Diversity and for MIMO Spatial Multiplexing
- PSD given per antenna (RF amplifier output)
- PRBs not scheduled are blanked
applied to UE / cell specific channels and signals:
- PSD_CELL_CTRL for BCCH i.e. PBCH+PDSCH, PCFICH and PCH
- PSD_CELL_RS for reference signals (RS) / pilots
- PSD_CELL_SYNC for synchronization channel
- PSD_UE_PDSCH for UE specific part of PDSCH

Main target of DL-PC-CCH
DL Power Control for PDCCH is an additional mechanism interacting with
DL AMC for PDCCH in order to make the signaling as robust as possible
DL-PC-CCH aims at 1% target BLER but cannot modify AGG assignments
Main actions performed by DL-PC-CCH
Power reduction on CCEs with assigned AGG level higher than required (or equal)
Power boosting on CCEs with assigned AGG level lower than required
Equal power relocation among all scheduled CCEs
1-CCE
8-CCE
2-CCE
4-CCE
Macro cell case #1
Uniform UE distribution
Very good CCEs (CQI highly above
1% BLER target)
Bad CCEs (AGG level too high to
meet 1% BLER target)
If still some power available,
relocate equally among all CCEs

Principles of DL-PC-AMC
PDCCH Power Control can be enabled/disabled by O&M switch
Maximum transmit power of the Power Amplifier cannot be exceeded (pMax; O&M)
Reduction and boosting range is strictly defined and is always considered as the limit for
power level modification
DL-PC-CCH operates together with DL-AMC-CCH on TTI basis
DCI messages with more than one CCE (AGG->1) have a flat PSD,
thus all CCEs belonging to one scheduled UE are transmitted with the same power
