Dynamic Power Sharing Among Carriers

2 Technical Description

2 Technical Description
2.1 Introduction
Along with the wide use of the WCDMA system, more and more hot areas use multi-carrier power
amplifiers. When traffic cannot be evenly distributed to different carriers, the requests for downlink power
resources are unbalanced. In this case, dynamic power sharing among carriers can be used to balance
the requests between the carriers and increase the throughput. For asymmetrical power configuration,
the carrier with higher emitting power cannot share the unused power resource of the carrier with lower
emitting power.
In dynamic power sharing among carriers, a carrier that carries the HSPA service can dynamically use
the idle power resource of another carrier that only carries the R99 service, thus improving the power
usage and the HSPA service rate.
The current version only supports power sharing between an R99 carrier and an HSDPA carrier.
Therefore, the following description takes an R99 cell and an HSDPA cell as an example. In this case,
the HSDPA cell can determine the available power according to the power usage of the R99 cell, as
shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1 Dynamic power sharing between an R99 cell and an HSDPA cell

2.2 Power Sharing Mode

Assume that the NodeB is configured with a power sharing group by running the ADD PAGRP command.
In addition, assume that the source cell is an R99 cell, which is specified by the SLOCELL parameter;
the target cell is an HSDPA cell, which is specified by the DLOCELL parameter. In such a case, the
algorithm periodically calculates the maximum power of the source cell that can be shared by the target
cell according to the following formula:
Psource-share = Max{0,{Min(Pmax - Pcurrent, Pmax x Rmax-share) - Pmax x Rshare-margin}}

Psource-share denotes the maximum power of the source cell that can be shared by the target cell.

Pmax denotes the maximum power configured for the source cell. It is specified by the MaxTxPower
parameter.

Pcurrent denotes the power currently used by the source cell.

Rmax-share denotes the maximum ratio of the idle power that can be shared to the maximum power
configured for the source cell. It is specified by the MAXSHRTO parameter.

Rshare-margin denotes the ratio of the idle power reserved for the source cell to the maximum power
configured for the source cell. It is specified by the SHMGN parameter.

The target cell assigns power to its HSDPA users based on the sum of the maximum power configured
for the target cell and the maximum power of the source cell that can be shared by the target cell.

3 Feature Deployment

3 Feature Deployment
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature WRFD-020116
Dynamic Power Sharing of Multi-Carriers.

3.1 Prerequisites

Dependencies on Hardware
This feature does not depend on the hardware.

Dependencies on Other Features

This feature does not depend on other features.

License
The license "the number of NodeBs with PA-SHARING function enabled" on the NodeB side has been
activated. For details about the license items and how to activate the license, see License
Management Feature Parameter Description.

Other Prerequisites
The NodeB software version should be no earlier than RAN11.0.

3.2 Procedure
3.2.1 Activation Procedure
Run the NodeB MML command ADD PAGRP (CME single configuration: Introduction to the
Configuration Express for Iub Interfaces; CME batch modification center: not supported) to add a power
sharing group.

Dynamic spectrum sharing cannot be configured with dynamic power sharing.

A power sharing group consists of a source local cell and a destination local cell.

The source local cell must support only R99 services, and the destination local cell must support HSDPA services.

The source local cell and the destination local cell must use the same RF module and be configured with the same
maximum power.

The maximum rate of idle power that the source local cell is allowed to share with the destination local cell is
recommended to set to default value. This rate is based on the configured maximum transmit power of the source local
cell.

The rate of idle power that must be reserved for the source local cell. This rate is based on the configured maximum
transmit power of the source local cell. Reserving the idle power for the source local cell helps avoid power fluctuation
in the source local cell caused by power sharing that is not timely.

3.2.2 Verification Procedure

1. Before configuring the power sharing group, increase the load in the destination local cell to 90% by
means of load simulation.
2. Use multiple HSDPA UEs to perform high-speed downloading in the destination local cell. Check the
throughput of the destination local cell.
3. Run the NodeB MML command ADD PAGRP to add a power sharing group.
4. Check the throughput of the destination local cell after the power sharing group is configured. If the
throughput is greatly increased after the power sharing group is configured, you can infer that the
feature is enabled.

3.2.3 Deactivation Procedure

Run the NodeB MML command RMV PAGRP (CME single configuration: Introduction to the
Configuration Express for Iub Interfaces; CME batch modification center: not supported) to remove the
power sharing group.

3.3 Example
//Activation procedure
ADD PAGRP: SLOCELL=1, DLOCELL=2, MAXSHRTO=50, SHMGN=10;
//Deactivation procedure
RMV PAGRP: DLOCELL=2;
