2 Overview
2 Overview
PS power control is a technology based on which the transmit power of the MS or BTS is adjusted
according to the quality of the link over the Um interface after setup. In this manner, the transmit power is
reduced without affecting the link quality, thus reducing the network interference and expanding the
network capacity.
The benefits of PS power control are as follows:

2.
The MS sends the downlink quality information (MEAN_BEP or RXQUAL) to the BSC through PS
downlink acknowledge messages.
3.
4.
The BSC makes the downlink PS power control decision according to the downlink quality and the
power control threshold. If power adjustment is needed, the BSC calculates the power attenuation
value.
5.
6.
The BTS adjusts the transmit power for the current radio block according to the power attenuation
value.
4.2 MR Processing
The bit error probability (BEP) measurement report (MR) from the MS reflects the receive quality. The
BEP MR contains the mean bit error probability (MEAN_BEP) and CV bit error probability (CV_BEP). To
minimize the effect on the decision due to sudden changes of a specific MR, the BSC filters the BEP
MRs from the MS by calculating the MEAN_BEP and CV_BEP of each TBF. MEAN_BEP reflects the
mapping between the measured BEP value and the CIR, that is, the CIR of the TBF that carries the MS
can be obtained through the downlink BEP MR of the MS.
The BSC calculates the most appropriate coding scheme for the TBF that carries the MS according to
the MEAN_BEP.

GSM BSS
PS Power Control
In the EGPRS, each coding scheme (MCSi) maps to a MEAN_BEP range [BEPi, min, BEPi, max]. Then,
based on the MEAN_BEP range and the link adaptation mode, the CIR range can be obtained, as shown
in Table 4-1.
Each coding scheme maps to one target CIR range [CIRi, min, CIRi, max]. The target CIR (CIRi, target) is the
one when the signal quality of the network under that coding scheme is the best. It can be obtained by
setting the TGTCIRPOS parameter. CIRi, upper and CIRi, lower are determined by TGTCIRPOS (TGT_LOC)
and TGTCIROFFSET (TGT_OFFSET). Here,
CIRi, target = min (CIRi, min + TGT_LOC, CIRi, max)
CIRi, lower = max (CIRi, target TGT_OFFSET, CIRi, min)
CIRi, upper = min (CIRi, target + TGT_OFFSET, CIRi, max)

LA/IR mode means that both the link adaption (LA) mode and the incremental redundancy (IR) mode exist in the current
link. For details, see of EGPRS Coding Scheme Adjustment Algorithm in the GPRS/EGPRS Link Quality Control
Parameter Description.
The PDCH that carries the current MS is in the same frequency band as the BCCH.
2.
The current TBF coding scheme is higher than the coding scheme threshold for triggering the
downlink power control.
The coding scheme of EGPRS services is fixed to MCS9.
3.
The most appropriate coding scheme of the TBF that carries the MS is stable. For the stability check,
see 4.4 Coding Scheme Stability Check.
4.
The current CIR is greater than the CIRi, upper corresponding to the most appropriate coding scheme
of the TBF that carries the MS, or the current CIR is smaller than the CIRi, lower corresponding to the
most appropriate coding scheme of the TBF that carries the MS.

P/N criterion is applied in the coding scheme stability check. That is, within the number of times specified
by MCSSTATTHR, if the number of times that the coding scheme is used is greater than or equal to
MCSSTABTHR, the coding scheme is stable.
The BSC obtains and uses the most appropriate coding scheme according to the MEAN_BEP. In this
case, the time of using the coding scheme is incremented by one. Within the number of times specified
by MCSSTATTHR, if the use time of the coding scheme is greater than or equal to MCSSTABTHR, the
coding scheme is stable and thus the downlink power control can be performed on the TBF that carries
the MS.
If the current coding scheme that passes the stability check is lower than the previously used coding
scheme, the power of the downlink TBF must be increased. The BTS transmits this downlink TBF at
the maximum power.
If the current CIR is smaller than the lower threshold of the CIR range corresponding to the current
coding scheme, the power of the downlink TBF must be improved by DP. DP is the accumulated
attenuation value of the power relative to the (BCCH - P0), where P0 is the value of the DLPCINITPR
parameter.
If the current CIR is greater than the upper threshold of the CIR range corresponding to the current
coding scheme, the power of the downlink TBF must be decreased. The decreased value is obtained
according to the current CIR and the target CIR but cannot exceed the value of MAXPCSTEP.
MAXPCSTEP is used to avoid the excessive power adjustment.
Power control is also performed for the downlink Dummy control block. The adjustment value is not
limited by the value of the MAXPCSTEP parameter but must not be greater than 10 dB.
PR is the dynamic power attenuation value relative to (BCCH level P0), where P0 is the value of the
DLPCINITPR parameter. PR can be calculated on the basis of power adjustment value. In dynamic
power control, the power control step is determined by PSPCPRES. In addition, the power control step
must be smaller than or equal to MAXPCSTEP.
The power attenuation value of the PTCCH is Pb. The output power on the PTCCH equals PBCCH
minus Pb. The BTS uses fixed output power on the PTCCH. The PBCCH equals the maximum output
power of the BCCH TRX minus power backup. Pb is the value of the PB parameter.
The BTS determines the power attenuation value of other PDCH channels based on the value of the
DLPCINITPR parameter and the dynamic power attenuation value PR. The power attenuation value of
other PDCH channels equals P0 plus PR. The output power on these channels equals PBCCH minus
the sum of P0 and PR. The details are as follows:
The
PR of the PBCCH and PCCCH = max{Pb - P0, 0}. The power attenuation value is P0 or Pb. The
BTS uses fixed output power on the PBCCH and PCCCH. The fixed output power equals PBCCH
minus P0 or PBCCH minus Pb.

the BSC disables PS downlink closed loop power control on the PDTCH and PACCH, the values of
P0 and PR are both zero, and the value of power attenuation value is zero. That is, the BTS uses
fixed output power, PBCCH, on the PDTCH and PACCH. If the BSC enables PS downlink closed loop
power control on the PDTCH and PACCH, the BTS dynamically regulates the output power on these
two channels. The power attenuation value of these two channels equals the sum of P0 and PR. The
output power on these two channels equals the PBCCH minus the sum of P0 and PR.

5 Engineering Guidelines
5 Engineering Guidelines
PS power control is applicable in all networking scenarios. The gain of PS power control, however,
varies with the frequency reuse pattern and the distance between sites:
When the frequencies are highly reused and the distance between sites is short, the radio interference
within the system is great, and thus the gain of PS power control is great.
When the frequencies are loosely reused and the distance between sites is long, the radio interference
within the system is small, and thus the gain of PS power control is small.
When PS power control is used together with frequency hopping, the co-channel interference and the
adjacent-channel interference in the system can be obviously reduced, however, the use of frequency
hopping decreases the gain of the PS power control.
If the BTSs are enabled with transmit diversity, the path loss and shadow attenuation are decreased, and
thus the gain of PS power control is improved.
In the case of a concentric cell, the gain of the PS power control in the overlaid subcell is greater than
that in the underlaid subcell.
