Power Control 2 Overview

Ltd.

2 Overview
Power Control is used to control the transmit power of the MS and BTS during a connection. The desired
QoS, however, must be ensured when the transmit power is decreased.
The benefits of Power Control are as follows:

Decrease in interference
After Power Control is enabled, signals received by the MS and BTS remains stable without
compromising the signal quality, adjacent channel interference is reduced, and C/I is increased.

Decrease in power consumption
When the transit power of the MS and BTS decreases, the maximum standby and speech time of the
MS will increase, and less electrical power will be required by the BTS. If the BTS is powered by
storage batteries, frequent recharging is not required.

Power Control 3 Technical Description

Ltd.

3 Technical Description
3.1 Principles
Power Control aims to improve the QoS over the Um interface. After Power Control is enabled, the
transmit power of the MS and BTS is adjusted according to the comprehensive decision made by the
BSS. The decision on power adjustment is made on the basis of the specified thresholds, receive level
and receive quality on uplink and downlink reported by the BTS. The principles of Power Control are as
follows:

Transmit power should be decreased when receive level or receive quality is above the specified
threshold.

Transmit power should be increased when receive level or receive quality is below the specified
threshold.

The decision on Power Control is based on both receive level and receive quality; thus, the accuracy
and effectiveness can be improved.
Power Control is performed to achieve the desired QoS with minimum possible transmit power. The
reduction in the transmit power of the MS or BTS leads to the decrease in adjacent channel interference
and power consumption.
There are two types of Power Control:

Uplink Power Control
Uplink Power Control is used to adjust the transmit power of the MS, so that the receive signal
strength of the BTS remains stable, and adjacent channel interference and MS power consumption
are decreased.

Downlink Power Control
Downlink Power Control is used to adjust the transmit power of the BTS, so that the receive signal
strength of the MS remains stable, and adjacent channel interference and BTS power consumption
are decreased.
Uplink Power Control and downlink Power Control adopt the same algorithms, although different
parameters are involved. Unless otherwise specified, the algorithms described in this document apply to
both uplink Power Control and downlink Power Control.
Figure 3-1 shows the procedure of Power Control.

As shown in Figure 3-1, the procedure of Power Control is as follows:
1. The MS/BTS measures the receive level and receive quality and then forwards the information to
the BTS/BSC through measurement reports (MRs).
2. The BSS calculates the suitable transmit power of the MS or BTS using the algorithms and then
decides whether Power Control should be performed. If yes, the BSS sends the decision to the
MS/BTS through an MS Power Control/BS Power Control message.
3. The MS/BTS transmits signals at the power specified in the message.
3.1.1 Measurement of Receive Level and Receive Quality
The MS/BTS measures the receive level and receive quality and then reports the information to the
BTS/BSC through MRs. The MRs can be processed at the BSC or BTS, which is specified by
MR.Preprocessing. If MR.Preprocessing is set to Yes, the MRs are processed at the BTS. The
contents and processing period of MRs from the BTS to the BSC are specified by Transfer Original MR,
Transfer BTS/MS Power Class, and Sent Freq.of preprocessed MR. Therefore, the signaling flow
over the Abis interface and the load of the BSC can be controlled.
If the BTS sends the original MRs, the BSC performs MR interpolation and filtering. If the BTS sends the
preprocessed MRs, the BTS performs Power Control decision. The original MRs trigger Power Control
at the BSC, whereas the preprocessed MRs trigger Power Control at the BTS. The Power Control
procedure at the BTS is similar to that at the BSC. Here, the Power Control performed by the BSC is
taken as an example:
BSS

Ltd.
3-3

The BSC processes the information in the MRs according to the Measurement Report Type. The BSC
obtains the measurement results associated with the serving cell and neighboring cells from the MRs
sent by the BTS.
The measurement values in the MRs are classified into FULL SET and SUB SET. FULL SET indicates
the measurement value when signals are transmitted continuously. SUB SET indicates the
measurement value when discontinuous transmission (DTX) is adopted. The MRs from the MS and BTS
indicate whether the DTX is adopted. For details on the DTX, see the DTX feature.
If the DTX is adopted, SUB SET value is used during a call; otherwise, FULL SET value is used during a
call. FULL SET and SUB SET are irrelevant to the receive signal strength on the BCCH in neighboring
cells.
3.1.2 Power Control Algorithms
Huawei algorithms for Power Control consist of Huawei II Power Control algorithm, Huawei III Power
Control algorithm, and optimized Huawei III Power Control algorithm. These algorithms which differ in
the purpose of power control and the process of decision-making. The process of the optimized Huawei
III Power Control algorithm is the same as the process of Huawei III Power Control algorithm.
Huawei II Power Control algorithm involves the following aspects:

MR compensation

Prediction filtering

Dual-threshold Power Control algorithm

Variable Power Control step

Adaptive Power Control

Adjustment of the upper threshold of signal strength in the case of bad signal quality

Separate configuration of the adjustment step for uplink and downlink Power Control
Compared with Huawei II Power Control algorithm, Huawei III Power Control algorithm has the following
new functions:

Exponential filtering and slide-window filtering

Interpolation optimization

Comprehensive decision based on receive level and receive quality

Different thresholds for different speech rate types

Consideration of impact of frequency hopping (FH) gain on receive quality
Compared with Huawei III Power Control algorithm, the optimized Huawei III Power Control algorithm
has the following improvements:

MR power control compensation

Dual-coefficient MR filtering algorithm

Power control based on dual-step factor to protect weak power level areas
3.1.3 Power Control Procedure
The downlink power control procedure is that when the BTS receives the BS POWER CONTROL
message sent by the BSC, the BTS transmits signals at the power specified in the message.
The uplink power control procedure is different from the downlink power control procedure.
The uplink power control procedure involves three SACCH MR periods. In the first period, the BTS
sends the MS a power control command message. In the second period, the MS performs the power

adjustment. In the third period, the MS notifies the BTS of the adjusted power. Figure 3-2 shows the
procedure of Power Control.

During the three SACCH MR periods that are defined by the parameter PC Interval, the procedure of
Power Control is as follows:

The default value of PC Interval is 3. The value indicates the following three MR periods. You are advised to accept the
default value, because a value smaller than 3 leads to excessively frequent performance of Power Control, and a value
greater than 3 leads to delayed performance of Power Control.
1. The first SACCH MR period
The BTS sends a power and TA adjustment command in the SACCH header. On receiving the
command, the MS starts to perform Power Control in the second MR period.
2. The second SACCH MR period
The MS adjusts its transmit power as follows:
If the power is adjusted in steps of 16 dB, one MR period (104 frames or 480 ms) is required for the
power adjustment process.
If the power is adjusted in steps of 32 dB, two MR periods are required for the power adjustment
process.

The maximum rate for an MS to adjust its power is 2 dB every 13 frames or 60 ms.
3. The third SACCH MR period
The current transmit power, which is the power level of the last burst in the previous SACCH MR
period, is saved and is reported to the BTS in the next MR on the uplink SACCH.
3.2 Huawei II Power Control Algorithm
Huawei II Power Control algorithm involves MR compensation, prediction filtering, and calculation of
adjustment step based on receive level and receive quality, as shown in Figure 3-3.

1. MR Processing
The MR processing in Huawei II Power Control algorithm involves the following stages:
a. MR interpolation
If the latest MR received by the BSC is not in continuous relation with those buffered in the queue and
the number of lost MRs does not exceed Allowed MR Number Lost, the MR interpolation is
performed.
The value of MS transmit power (MSPwr) missing from the MRs is not interpolated. In such a case,
MR filtering is not affected, and Power Control procedure proceeds normally.
b. MR compensation
While determining whether to perform Power Control, the BSC performs weighted filtering on the
receive level and receive quality in certain history MRs. The MRs may be obtained by the BTS or MS
at varying transmit power. To ensure the accuracy of the receive level and receive quality for filtering,
their values in the history MRs that are obtained at a transmit power different from the current power
must be compensated. If the currently interpolated MRs and the compensated MRs are filtered
together, the decision on Power Control can be more effective. MR compensation is performed when
the parameter MR. Compensation Allowed is set to Yes.
The MR compensation is calculated as follows:
BSS
Power Control

Ltd.
Issue 02 (2009-09-30)

If the power level in the MR from the MS or BTS is higher than that in the previous MR, it indicates
that the power is decreased. In such a case, the BSS subtracts the decreased power of the MS or
BTS from the uplink or downlink receive level in all the MRs (decreased power level x 2 dBm).
If the power level in the MR from the MS or BTS is lower than that in the previous MR, it indicates that
the power is increased. In such a case, the BSS adds the increased power of the MS or BTS to the
uplink or downlink receive level in all the MRs (increased power level x 2 dBm).

The MR compensation applies only to the receive level, but not to the receive quality.
c. Discarding of MRs in the initial phase of connection
In the initial phase of connection, the BSC does not perform Power Control due to the huge fluctuation
of data in the MRs. Huawei II Power Control algorithm discards the first four MRs, which are not
involved in MR filtering.
d. MR filtering
The decision on Power Control is made on the basis of the average filtering value in the history MRs,
which is the reference value of the current receive level. The number of MRs involved in the filtering
process is specified by Filter Length for UL RX_LEV/Filter Length for DL RX_LEV and Filter
Length for UL Qual./Filter Length for DL Qual..
Due to the interval between the Power Control decision and power adjustment, the history MRs cannot
accurately indicate the radio conditions or provide receive level and receive quality in real time when
power adjustment is performed. Therefore, the prediction filtering is adopted to minimize the impact of
the delay on power adjustment.
In the prediction filtering of MR, the BSC performs weighted filtering on some sampling MRs. Generally,
the interval between Power Control decision and power adjustment is three MRs. Prediction filtering
can ensure the accuracy by predicting the subsequent zero to three MRs. The number of sampling
MRs is specified by UL MR. Number Predicted/DL MR. Number Predicted.
After filtering the predicted MRs and the interpolated and compensated MRs (or interpolated but no
compensated MRs), the BSC makes a decision on Power Control. After the prediction filtering function
is enabled, the MRs, on which Power Control decision is based, can accurately indicate the radio
conditions when power adjustment is performed. Thus, the delay in power adjustment can be
minimized.

The prediction filtering applies only to the receive level. Mean-value filtering is applied when Filter Length for UL
RX_LEV/Filter Length for DL RX_LEV is less than 5 or UL MR. Number Predicted/DL MR. Number Predicted is 0.
2. Power Control Decision
The Power Control decision in Huawei II Power Control algorithm involves the following stages:
a. Calculation of power adjustment step based on receive level (RxLev)
When RxLev < UL RX_LEV Lower Threshold/DL RX_LEV Lower Threshold, the power should be
increased. The formula is as follows:
Power adjustment step = min{|(UL RX_LEV Upper Threshold/DL RX_LEV Upper Threshold + UL
RX_LEV Lower Threshold/DL RX_LEV Lower Threshold) 2 - RxLev|, MAX Up Adj. PC Value
by RX_LEV}
When RxLev > UL RX_LEV Upper Threshold/DL RX_LEV Upper Threshold, the power should be
decreased.
The poorer the receive quality, the more sensitive the level adjustment. Therefore, the BSS adjusts
the receive quality when decreasing the power based on RxLev. In Huawei II Power Control
algorithm, receive quality is classified into three quality zones (0, 1-2, 3). The maximum step of
power adjustment on downlink is different for the three quality zones. The step is specified by MAX
Down Adj.Value Qual.Zone 0/MAX Down Adj.Value Qual.Zone 1/MAX Down Adj.Value
BSS

Ltd.

Qual.Zone 2. The adjustment step is calculated according to receive quality only when the power is
decreased according to RxLev.
The formula is as follows:
Power adjustment step = min{|(UL RX_LEV Upper Threshold/DL RX_LEV Upper Threshold + UL
RX_LEV Lower Threshold/DL RX_LEV Lower Threshold) 2 - RxLev|, MAX Down Adj.Value
Qual.Zone 0/MAX Down Adj.Value Qual.Zone 1/MAX Down Adj.Value Qual.Zone 2}

The symbol | indicates absolute value.
b. Calculation of power adjustment step based on receive quality (RxQual)
When RxQual UL Qual. Lower Threshold/DL Qual. Lower Threshold, the power should be
increased. The adjustment step is specified by MAX Up Adj. PC Value by Qual..
The power can be increased only when RxLev + MAX Up Adj. PC Value by Qual. UL RX_LEV
Upper Threshold/DL RX_LEV Upper Threshold.
The value of UL Qual. Bad UpLEVDiff/DL Qual. Bad UpLEVDiff must be increased when RxQual
UL Qual. Bad Trig Threshold/DL Qual. Bad Trig Threshold, so as to ensure the increase in power
when RxQual is poor.
When RxQual < UL Qual. Upper Threshold/DL Qual. Upper Threshold, the power should be
decreased. The adjustment step is specified by MAX Down Adj. PC Value by Qual..
The power can be decreased only when RxLev - MAX Down Adj. PC Value by Qual. UL RX_LEV
Lower Threshold/DL RX_LEV Lower Threshold.
c. Calculation of power adjustment step based on both RxLev and RxQual
To ensure the stability of power adjustment, both AdjStep_Lev and AdjStep_Qual should be taken into
consideration. For details, see Table 3-1.

calculation of adjustment step based on the FH gain, as shown in Figure 3-5.

MR filtering
(exponential filtering and

1. MR Processing
When Huawei III Power Control algorithm is applied, a fixed number of MRs are discarded during the
initial access of the MS to the network to prevent the impact of inaccurate MRs on the algorithm. The
number of discarded MRs is specified by SdMrCutNum and TchMrCutNum.

If active Power Control is enabled, the MRs are not discarded.
The MR processing in Huawei III Power Control algorithm involves the following stages:
a. MR interpolation
Interpolation is applied to the values missing from the MRs. The missing level value is replaced with
the value in the last MR. The missing quality value is always replaced with 7.
The value of MS/BTS transmit power missing from the MRs is not interpolated. In such a case, MR
filtering is not affected, and Power Control procedure proceeds normally.
BSS
Power Control

Ltd.
Issue 02 (2009-09-30)

The interpolation is not performed in the case that the measurement results are lost.
If the number of continuously lost MRs is greater than the value of MRMissNumber, the BSC stops
Power Control procedure. The procedure will resume when a new MR is received.
b. MR filtering
MR filtering in Huawei III Power Control algorithm involves exponential filtering and slide-window
filtering, instead of mean-value filtering in Huawei II Power Control algorithm.
In the process of calculation, receive quality is converted into C/I. In MR filtering, exponential filtering
and slide-window filtering are performed on C/I and receive level in succession. The measurement
value obtained through the filtering is used to decide whether Power Control is performed.
In Huawei III Power Control algorithm, the filtering period is specified by the parameters
UL(DL)RexLevExponentFilterLen, UL(DL)RexQualExponentFilterLen,
UL(DL)RexLevSlideWindow, and UL(DL)RexQualSlideWindow.

In this document, the UL(DL) means two separate parameter prefixes. For example, UL(DL)RexLevExponentFilterLen
means ULRexLevExponentFilterLen and DLRexLevExponentFilterLen.
2. Power Control Decision
Power Control decision in Huawei III Power Control algorithm involves the following stages: First, the
gain of the channels on the Um interface is obtained through calculation. Then, the adjustment step is
calculated on the basis of the gain, RxLev, and RxQual after the filtering. The calculated step will be
checked to determine whether it exceeds the maximum step allowed. If it is within the specified range,
Power Control is performed.
a. Decision on whether Power Control should be performed
When UL(DL)RexLevHighThred RxLev UL(DL)RexLevLowThred, and
UL**RexQualHighThred Rex or DL**RexQualHighThred RxQual + QOffFh
UL**RexQualLowThred or DL**RexQualLowThred, Power Control is not required. Otherwise, the
calculation of the adjustment step starts.
The value of QOffFh can be obtained in the FH gain table, according to the number of frequencies
participating in FH in the mobile allocation (MA). For details, see Table 3-2. If the number of
frequencies in the MA is greater than 8, take the gain value corresponding to 8 as the value of QOffFh.

In Huawei III Power Control algorithm, different quality level thresholds are set for different speech coding schemes.
The symbol ** represents Full-rate Service (FS), Half-rate Service (HS), AMR Full-rate Service (AFS), or AMR Half-rate
Service (AHS).
QOffFh indicates FH gain.

MA Frequencies 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
QOffFh (dB) 0 2 3 4 4.3 4.7 5.0 5.3

In decision-making phase, if the current call is an AMR call and Allow III Power Control For AMR is
set to OFF(Not Allowed), then power control is not applied to this call. If the current call is a non-AMR
call, and Allow III Power Control For Non-AMR is set to OFF(Not Allowed), then power control is
not applied to this call. If the user closes these two switches during the call, then the BSC changes the
power level of the current call to level 0
b. Calculation of adjustment step
Calculation of BTS Power Control step
BSS

Ltd.
3-11

The Power Control adjustment step is calculated according to RxLev and RxQual in every
adjustment period specified by the parameter PwrCtrlDLAdjPeriod. The formula is as follows:
Step(k) = {DLRexLevAdjustFactor x (BsTxMaxPower g(k) SThr) + DLRexQualAdjustFactor x
(qa_filtered(k) + QOffFh QThr)}
If step(k) > 0, the result is taken as 0.
Calculation of MS Power Control step
The Power Control adjustment step is calculated according to RxLev and RxQual in every
adjustment period specified by the parameter PwrCtrlDLAdjPeriod. The formula is as follows:
Step(k) = {ULRexLevAdjustFactor x (MsTxMaxPower g(k) SThr) + ULRexQualAdjustFactor
x (qa_filtered(k) + QOffFh QThr)}
If step(k) > 0, the result is taken as 0.
The parameters involved in the previous formulas are interpreted as follows:
SThr = (UL(DL)RexLevHighThred/DLRexLevHighThred +
UL(DL)RexLevLowThred/DLRexLevLowthred) 2
QThr = (UL**RexQualHighThred/DL**RexQualHighThred +
UL**RexQualLowThred/DL**RexQualLowThred) 2
BsTxMaxPower indicates the maximum transmit power allowed by the TRX that carries the call and
is specified by the parameter Power Level.
MsTxMaxPower indicates the maximum transmit power of the MS, which is contained in the
classmark information reported by the MS.
g(k) indicates the radio channel gain calculated by Huawei III Power Control algorithm.
qa_filtered(k) indicates the measurement results after the filtering.
The maximum value of step(k) is specified by the parameter ULMAXDownStep/ULMAXUpStep, so
that excessive adjustment is prevented. If step(k) exceeds the maximum value, the specified
maximum value is adopted as the adjustment step.
In current Huawei III Power Control algorithm, the minimum transmit power control level of MSs is 2dB.
The power adjustment is coarse. When the precise control switch 0.2dB Power Control Enable is set to
YES(Yes), the power control step is 0.2dB. Small level provides a more accurate power control.

3.4 Optimized Huawei III Power Control Algorithm
The process of the optimized Huawei III Power Control algorithm is the same as the process of Huawei
III Power Control algorithm. The optimized Huawei III Power Control algorithm involves MR processing,
MR filtering, calculation of the power control step, and power control execution. The optimized Huawei III
Power Control algorithm takes effect when Power Control Switch is set to PWR3(Power control III)
and III Power Control Optimized Enable is set to YES(Yes).
This section describes the improvements of the optimized Huawei III Power Control algorithm on Huawei
III Power Control algorithm.

MR power control compensation
MR power control compensation aims to compensate the receive level and receive quality so that they
reach the measured values at the maximum transmit power.
In the optimized Huawei III Power Control algorithm, the receive level and receive quality reported
through the MR are compensated. Subsequently, the receive level after compensation and the receive
quality after compensation are used as inputs for MR filtering.

Dual-coefficient MR filtering algorithm
The optimized Huawei III Power Control algorithm adopts the exponential filtering algorithm and MR
filtering adopts the dual-coefficient filtering algorithm. The dual-coefficient filtering algorithm concerns
the receive level and the receive quality.
This algorithm has a strong correlation with the filtering period K and the filter adjustment factor
FiltAdjustFactor.
The values of K and FiltAdjustFactor vary with the measured receive level and receive quality:
The value of K depends on ULRexLevExponentFilterLen/DLRexLevExponentFilterLen and
ULRexQualExponentFilterLen/DLRexQualExponentFilterLen.
The value of FiltAdjustFactor depends on III UL Filter Adjust Factor/III DL Filter Adjust Factor.

In this section, the symbol / separates two independent parameters. For example,
"ULRexLevExponentFilterLen/DLRexLevExponentFilterLen" indicates ULRexLevExponentFilterLen or
DLRexLevExponentFilterLen. ULRexLevExponentFilterLen and DLRexLevExponentFilterLen take effect in uplink
power control and downlink power control respectively.
In Huawei III Power Control algorithm, different quality level thresholds are set for different speech coding schemes.
The symbol ** in this section represents Full-rate Service (FS), Half-rate Service (HS), AMR Full-rate Service (AFS), or
AMR Half-rate Service (AHS).
In the dual-coefficient exponential filtering algorithm, the filter response rate increases when the radio
propagation environment deteriorates, whereas the rate of increasing the filtering value decreases
when the radio propagation environment becomes better.

Calculation of the power control step
The power control step of the optimized Huawei III Power Control algorithm is calculated on the basis
of two step factors: step1(k) and step2(k).

Where,
RexLev Protect Factor indicates III UL RexLev Protect Factor/III DL RexLev Protect Factor.

step2(k) is determined by RexLev Adjust Factor, Rex Qual.Adjust Factor, STarget, and QTarget. The
calculation formula is as follows:
step2(k) = - {sfactor x (ca_filtered(k) - SThr) + qfactor x (qa_filtered(k) + QOffFh - QThr)}
Where,
sfactor indicates ULRexLevAdjustFactor/DLRexLevAdjustFactor.
ca_filtered(k) indicates the measured receive level after the filtering.

qa_filtered(k) indicates the measured receive quality after the filtering.
QThr = ("UL ** Rex Qual. Upper Threshold/DL ** Rex Qual. Upper Threshold"+"UL ** Rex
Qual.Lower Threshold/DL ** Rex Qual.Lower Threshold")/2.
The step factor step(k) is determined according to the formula step(k) = max(step1(k), step2(k)).
Subsequently, based on this step factor, power control adjustment is performed. If step(k) is greater
than 0, then step(k) is equal to 0, that is, transmit power is not adjusted.
In current Optimized Huawei III Power Control algorithm, the minimum transmit power control level of
MSs is 2dB. The power adjustment is coarse. When the precise control switch 0.2dB Power Control
Enable is set to YES(Yes), the power control step is 0.2dB. Small level provides a more accurate power
control.

3.5 Functions Related to Power Control
3.5.1 Active Power Control
Power Control is used to control the transmit power of the MS and BTS during a connection. For better
results of Power Control, the MS and BTS should transmit signals at a proper power instead of the
maximum power when the connection is initially established. To achieve this, Active Power Control
should be enabled.
Active Power Control enables the immediate performance of Power Control after an MS successfully
gains access to the network or a handover is successfully performed in the BSC. In such a case, the
BSC can control the uplink and downlink power promptly. Therefore, both the BTS and the MS transmit
signals at a proper power. Active Power Control aims to reduce the system interference, improve the
QoS, and decrease the power consumption of both the BTS and MS.
Active Power Control is enabled when the parameter Power Forecast Allowed is set to Yes.
Active Power Control During the Access of an MS
The procedure of active Power Control during the initial access of an MS is as follows:
1. The BSC acquires the uplink and downlink path loss on the basis of the receive level in the MR of
the MS on the immediate assignment channel, transmit power of MS and BTS, and parameters
Double Antenna Gain, Combiner Loss, and Path Loss of Different Frequency Band.
2. Based on the uplink and downlink path loss and the parameters Expected UL RX_LEV and
Expected DL RX_LEV, the BSC estimates the transmit power that the BTS and MS should adopt
on the assigned traffic channel.
3. The MS adopts the previously-mentioned power as the transmit power when it is initially assigned
with a traffic channel, thus reducing the initial transmit power.
Active Power Control During Inner-BSC Handover
The procedure of active Power Control during inner-BSC handover is as follows:
1. The BSC acquires the uplink and downlink path loss on the basis of the level of the BCCH in the
target cell, transmit power of MS and BTS, and value of Path Loss of Different Frequency Band.
2. Based on the uplink and downlink path loss and the parameters Expected UL RX_LEV and
Expected DL RX_LEV, the BSC estimates the transmit power that the BTS and MS should adopt
on the channel of the target cell.
3. The MS adopts the previously-mentioned power as the transmit power when it gains access to the
target cell, thus reducing the transmit power during the access.
3.5.2 SAIC Power Control Optimization
Single Antenna Interference Cancellation (SAIC) is used to reduce the impact of interference on the
reception of downlink signals through a signal processing technology.
An MS enabled with SAIC has improved ability of anti-interference. After SAIC is enabled, the thresholds
for BTS/MS Power Control are adjusted to improve the radio performance of the BSS. SAIC is enabled
when the parameters SAIC Allowed and Switch for BTS Supporting SAIC PC Adjust are set to Yes.
The strategies for threshold adjustment are as follows:

When Huawei II Power Control algorithm is applied, the value of Power Control threshold Adjust for
SAIC is added to that of DL Qual. Upper Threshold and DL Qual. Lower Threshold.

When Huawei III Power Control algorithm is applied, the value of Power Control threshold Adjust
for SAIC is deducted from that of DL**RexQualHighThred and DL**RexQualLowThred.

4 Parameters
This chapter describes the parameters related to power control.
For the meaning of each parameter, see Table 4-1. For the default value, value ranges, and MML
commands of each parameter, see Table 4-2.
Table 4-1 Parameter description (1)
Parameter Description
Allow III Power
Control For AMR
Whether to enable the III power control algorithm for AMR calls. If enabled, power
control is performed on AMR calls.
Allow III Power
Control For
Non-AMR
Whether to enable the III power control algorithm for Non-AMR calls. If enabled, power
control is performed on Non-AMR calls.
Allowed MR
Number Lost
If the number of measurement reports lost consecutively is no larger than this value,
linear interpolation is performed for the values in the lost measurement reports based
on the values in the two measurement reports preceding and following the lost
measurement reports. Otherwise, the lost measurement reports will be discarded, and
the value will be recalculated when new measurement reports arrive.
Combiner Loss Combined loss used to estimate the downlink power during assignment
DL MR. Number
Predicted
Number of downlink measurement reports that the BSC predicts. The BSC takes a
while to confirm the power control effect of a power control command. Thus, the BSC
makes a power control decision based on a measurement report that lags behind the
changes in the receive level and quality instead of reflecting the real-time radio
environment. As a result, the power control is late.To prevent late power control to a
certain degree, the power control algorithm involves a measurement report prediction
filter. The BSC can sample several downlink measurement reports in a short time and
then weight them to predict future N measurement reports.This parameter specifies the
number N.
DL Qual. Bad
Trig Threshold
During downlink power control, if the downlink receive quality level is equal to or greater
than "DL Qual, bad Trig Threshold", "DL RX_LEV Upper Threshold" is increased by "DL
Qual. Bad UpLEVDiff" to further increase the expected downlink power level.
DL Qual. Bad
UpLEVDiff
During downlink power control, if the downlink receive quality level is equal to or greater
than "DL Qual, bad Trig Threshold", "DL RX_LEV Upper Threshold" is increased by "DL
Qual. Bad UpLEVDiff" to further increase the expected downlink power level.
DL Qual. Lower
Threshold
Quality level threshold for increasing downlink signal power. If the BTS transmits
signals at a quality level greater than this threshold, the BSC increases the power of the
BTS. If (downlink receive level + "MAX Up Adj. PC Value by Qual.") > "DL RX_LEV
Upper Threshold", however, the BSC does not adjust the transmit power.
DL Qual. Upper
Threshold
Quality level threshold for decreasing downlink signal power. If the BTS transmits
signals at a quality level less than this threshold, the BSC decreases the power of the
BTS. If (downlink receive level - "MAX Down Adj. PC Value by Qual.") < "DL RX_LEV
Lower Threshold", however, the BSC does not adjust the transmit power.

Measurement

Compensation
Allowed
Whether power control algorithm II allows measurement report compensation. When
making a power control decision, the BSC retrieves a certain number of history
measurement reports and performs weighted filtering on the receive level values and
receive quality values in these reports, which may be obtained when different transmit
powers were used by BTSs or MSs. To ensure that correct receive level values and
receive quality values are used in filtering, you must compensate the receive level
values and receive quality values in history measurement reports obtained when
transmit powers different than the current one were used.
MR.Preprocessin

determines where to conduct power control.

Power Control
Threshold Adjust
for SAIC
Adjustment step of the downlink signal quality threshold in power control algorithm III
for MSs that support SAIC. The network side uses a lower downlink signal quality
threshold for SAIC-supported MSs in power control, thus lowering the transmit power of
the corresponding BTS and reducing the interferences in the whole network.
Power Control
Threshold Adjust
for SAIC
Adjustment step of the downlink signal quality threshold in power control algorithm III
for MSs that support SAIC. The network side uses a lower downlink signal quality
threshold for SAIC-supported MSs in power control, thus lowering the transmit power of
the corresponding BTS and reducing the interferences in the whole network.
Power Forecast
Allowed
Whether to allow active power control. If this parameter is set to YES, the system
performs power forecast in the process of initial access assignment or service channel
activation during intra-BSC handovers, and sends the forecast initial power information
to the BTSs through channel activation messages. In this way, the MSs and BTSs can
adjust the transmit power. If this parameter is set to NO, the system does not perform
power forecast, and the MSs and BTSs choose the maximum transmit power.
Power Level
This parameter specifies the transmit power level of the TRX. The greater this
parameter is, the smaller the transmit power is. When this parameter is set to "0", the
transmit power level of the TRX is the greatest. Each time this parameter increases by
one level, the transmit power reduces by 2 dB.For different types of BTSs, the value
range of this parameter is different.BTS3X: 0-10BTS3001C: 0-13BTS3002C:

Whether the BTSs send the original measurement reports to the BSC after
pre-processing them. When this parameter is set to YES, the BTSs sends the original
and pre-processed measurement reports to the BSC.
UL MR. Number
Predicted
After the BSC delivers the power control command, it should wait for a certain period
before affirm the effect of the power control. Therefore, the MR that power control
decision is based on cannot accurately reflect the radio environment during the power
adjustment, but misses the latest changes of the receive level and receive quality of the
MS. Thus, the power adjustment is delayed.To compensate the delay of power
adjustment, the power control algorithm implements the prediction and filtering function.
In other words, the BSC samples several uplink measurement reports, performs
weighted filtering, and predicts N measurement reports from the current time onwards
in a short period. This parameter determines the number of uplink measurement
reports predicted by the BSC. In other words, the value of this parameter equals to the
previous number N.
UL Qual. Bad

In the case of power control, when the uplink receive quality is not smaller than "UL
Qual. Bad Trig Threshold", the actual "UL RX_LEV Upper Threshold" is increased by
"UL Qual. Bad UpLEVDiff".

In the case of power control, when the uplink receive quality is not smaller than "UL

UL Qual. Lower
Threshold
The MS transmit power is increased only when the quality level of the MS transmit
signal is greater than the value of the parameter. If (the uplink receive level + "MAX Up

transmit power is not adjusted.
