Purpose of Power Control
 Compensate path loss , including shadow fading and mult

iple path fading
 Reduce interference on the edge cell

Power Control Features in eNodeB
 Downlink power control:
 There is no uplink power control command, so DL power c
ontrol is more like dynamic power allocation
 Uplink power control
 Including open loop, closed loop and inner loop power c
ontrol. 1 bit or 2 bits power control command is define
d for closed loop and inner loop power control

Strategy for Algorithm
Algorithm Strategy Reason
PHICH dynamic Disabled PHICH carry HARQ feedback which requires
power adjustment high accuracy, and default power could
guarantee it. And it is not necessary to reduce
PHICH power because it occupies very less
resource.
PDCCH dynamic Enabled To reduce the service drop rate and increase the
power adjustment throughput for
CEUs.
PDSCH dynamic Disabled Turning on this switch may waste RB resources
power adjustment in multi-UE scenarios. This will bring negative
gains to cell throughput and increase overall
interference on the entire network.
All uplink power Enabled Reduce UE power as low as possible
control Improve performance for cell edge user

 The PHICH occupies very few resources, which means decreasing its
transmit power cannot significantly reduce power consumption. In a
ddition, the PHICH carries the ACK/NACK messages for the uplink da
ta, which requires high accuracy. Decreasing the transmit power of
the PHICH may reduce accuracy and uplink data rate. Therefore, the
dynamic power allocation is not recommended in commercial network.

cell throughput
 Ensure services rates for users on cell edges

 When the PUSCH carries Msg3, the transmit power of ea
ch UE's PUSCH is calculated using the following formu

PUCCH Power Control
 The PUCCH carries the ACK/NACK information, CQIs, and sche
dule request (SR) information related to downlink data. Wh
en the probability of incorrect demodulation on the PUCCH
is high, user throughput is severely affected.
 The purposes of power control for the PUCCH are to ensure
the PUCCH performance and reduce the interference to neigh
boring cells.
 The transmit power for the PUCCH is calculated using the f
ollowing formula:
PPUCCH (i)  min{ PCMAX , P0 _ PUCCH  PL  h  n CQI , nHARQ    F _ PUCCH ( F )  g (i)}

PUCCH Power Control Verification
 As all DCI could be used for PUCCH power control, so it is difficult
to verify the PUCCH power control from DCI statistic
 We can monitor PUCCH SINR to verify PUCCH power control. When UE mov
es, if SINR is convergence with target value (16dB), it indicate PUC
CH power control works.
