LTE Power Control Feature



LTE systems use the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) technique on the downlink and the Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) technique on the uplink. With these techniques, the subcarriers of UEs in a cell are orthogonal. Power control compensates for path loss and shadow fading and counteracts interference between cells. In LTE systems, power control is performed on eNodeBs and UEs.

LTE Power Control Feature



Ensure 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 BLER.



Reduce interference 

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



Lower power consumption 

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



Expand coverage and capacity 

Downlink power control allocates different power to different UEs to meet requirements for coverage. In addition, downlink power control reduces the transmit power allocated to each UE to a minimum, so that the allocated power meets the requirement for the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR). In this way, downlink power control expands system capacity.



Interference to neighboring cells mainly comes from UEs on cell edges. To reduce interference, uplink power control uses a technique known as Fractional Power Control (FPC) to lower the interference to neighboring cells, thereby increasing network capacity.

Downlink power control is achieved through fixed power assignment or dynamic power control.



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.



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' QoS requirements. However, these channels can also support fix power assignment, and in fact, this is our recommendation because the AMC function can also meet the requirement of QoS

The cell-specific reference signal is transmitted in all downlink subframes. The signal serves as a basis for downlink channel estimation, which is used for data demodulation.



The power for the cell-specific reference signal is set through the ReferenceSignalPwr parameter, which indicates the Energy Per Resource Element (EPRE) of the cell-specific reference signal.

The synchronization signal is used for cell search and system synchronization. There are two types of synchronization signals, the Primary Synchronization Channel (P-SCH) and the Secondary Synchronization Channel (S-SCH).



The offset of the power for the P-SCH and S-SCH against the power for the cell-specific reference signal is set through the SchPwr parameter.

On the PBCH, broadcast messages are sent in each frame. The messages carry the basic system information of the cell, such as the cell bandwidth, antenna configuration, and frame number.



The offset of the power for the PBCH against the power for the cell-specific reference signal is set through the PbchPwr parameter.



The PCFICH carries the number of OFDM symbols used for PDCCH transmission in a subframe. The PCFICH is always mapped to the first OFDM symbol of each subframe.



The power for the PCFICH is set through the PcfichPwr parameter, which indicates an offset of the power for the PCFICH against the power for the cell-specific reference signal.

Power control for the PHICH is set through the DlPcAlgoSwitch parameter



. When the switches PhichPcSwitch and PhichInnerLoopPcSwitch under the DlPcAlgoSwitch parameter are set to ON, the transmit power for the PHICH is periodically adjusted to adapt to change in path loss and shadow shading according to the difference between the estimated SINRRS and SINRTarget.



When the switches PhichPcSwitch and PhichInnerLoopPcSwitch under the DlPcAlgoSwitch parameter are set to OFF, the power for PHICH is set through the PhichPcOff parameter, which indicates an offset of the power for the PHICH related to the RS power

When PDCCH carry the following dedicate info, power control should be performed to ensure the receive reliability 

Uplink scheduling information (DCI format 0)



Downlink scheduling information (DCI format 1/1A/1B/2/2A)



PUSCH/PUCCH TPC commands (DCI format 3/3A)



Power control for the PDCCH is set through the PdcchBndPcSw parameter



When the PdcchBndPcSw parameter is set to ON, the transmit power for the PDCCH is periodically adjusted according to the difference between the measured BLER and BLERTarget. If the measured BLER is greater than BLERTarget, transmit power is increased. Otherwise, transmit power is decreased.



When the PdcchBndPcSw parameter is set to OFF, the PDCCH uses fixed power assignment. In this case, the offset of the power for the PDCCH against the power for the cell-specific reference signal is set through the PdcchPwrDedi parameter.

The presentation of PDCCH power 

Regarding power control for the PDSCH, the OFDM symbols on one slot can be classified into two types. Above table shows the OFDM symbol indexes within a slot where the ratio of the EPRE to the EPRE of RS is denoted by ρA or ρB.



Power control for the PDSCH determines the EPREs of different OFDM symbols using ρA and ρB. ρA determines the power offset against the power for the RS when there is no reference signal on the PDSCH, and ρB determines the power offset against the power for the cell-specific reference signal when there is a reference signal on the PDSCH.



The transmit power for the two types of OFDM symbols used on the PDSCH is defined by PPDSCH_A and PPDSCH_B. The calculation formulas are as follows: 

PPDSCH_A = ρA + ReferenceSignalPwr



PPDSCH_B = ρB + ReferenceSignalPwr



ρA = PA. PA is sent to the UE through RRC signaling for PDSCH demodulation.

ρB is determined by the power factor ratio ρB/ρA of the EPRE on the PDSCH. Above table lists the values of the cell-specific ratio ρB/ρA for different PB values and quantities of antenna ports. PB corresponds to the ρB/ρA on the PDSCH. PB is set through the command MOD PDCHCFG Pb

The power for the PDSCH is determined and dynamically adjusted based on PA when the PdschPaAdjSwitch parameter is set to ON. PPDSCH_A and PPDSCH_B, the initial transmit power for the PDSCH, are calculated as follows: 

The eNodeB receive the CQI report to estimate the SINRRS of the cell-specific reference signal. If no CQI is reported, the default SINRRS_Initial value of the system is used.



The transmission block (TB) size of the UE is estimated based on the QoS information related to the UE, including the Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) and Aggregate Maximum Bit Rate (AMBR).



Under the precondition that the service requirements of the UE are met and a balance is achieved between the power usage efficiency and RB usage efficiency in the system, the initial CQITarget is calculated based on the estimated SINRRS and the TB size.



The initial power offset for the PDSCH, namely, PO_PDSCH, is calculated based on the estimated SINRRS and CQITarget.



The initial transmit power for the PDSCH, namely, PPDSCH_A and PPDSCH_B, is calculated based on PA.

The power control interacts with the other RRM algorithm 

The downlink CQI adjustment algorithm adjusts the CQI reported by the UE, thereby adjusting the selected MCS and ensuring that the IBLER of the PDSCH converges to IBLERTarget. In addition, the downlink CQI adjustment algorithm provides the adjusted CQI for the downlink power control algorithm to adjust the transmit power for the PDSCH.



The downlink ICIC algorithm informs the downlink power control algorithm of the user type, which can be either CCU or CEU. The power control algorithm calculates the PA based on the user type.



The downlink scheduling algorithm informs the downlink power control algorithm of the PDCCH DCI. The power control algorithm performs power control based on the DCI format.
