History

1 Introduction

2012

Uplink power control is a critical feature of CDMA cellular systems. It is used to alleviate

2011

the near-far problem caused by intracell interference. The new generation of broadband wireless

2010

technologies, including WiMAX and LTE, are designed to provide higher bandwidth, higher peak
throughput, and higher spectral efficiency [1],[2]. These wireless technologies are based on
orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), in which all the uplink transmissions are
orthogonal within one cell [3]. Therefore, intracell interference is minimal compared with

technologies based on 3G CDMA.

Fourth-generation WiMAX and LTE wireless standards are designed to support up to 20 MHz
channel bandwidth, high-order 4 2 and 4 4 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), and
aggressive frequency reuse (reuse 1) to improve spectral efficiency and user throughput. Especially
for cell-edge users, intercell interference is a significant problem caused by aggressive frequency
reuse. Uplink power control is an important mechanism for controlling intercell interference and
improving cell-edge user experience (UE), even in broadband wireless systems based on OFDMA[4]-[7].
As opposed to 3G, where closed-loop power control is typically used to control both intracell and
intercell interference, the main objective of uplink power control in OFDMA-based systems is to
control intercell interference [8],[9].

UplinkPowerControlforMIMOOFDMACellularSystemsZTECorporation

In this paper, we investigate control of uplink transmit power in order to maximize sector and
cell-edge spectral efficiency. These are essential parameters for next-generation broadband
wireless systems [10]-[13]. A simplified maximum-sector throughput (SMST) algorithm is proposed
that maximizes sector throughput by adjusting uplink transmit power.

2 Uplink Power ControlMechanisms

2.1 Background
Power control has been studied extensively since the introduction of cellular systems. A
power-control mechanism can be closed-loop power control (CLPC), open-loop power control (OLPC), or
CLPC-OLPC combined power control. In CLPC, power control is centralized at the base station (BS).
The mobile station (MS) provides feedback on link quality, and the BS calculates the uplink
transmit power level for the MS and instructs the MS to transmit at that level. In OLPC, the MS
measures link quality and calculates the uplink transmit power level (based on predetermined
equations) in a distributed manner. The BS may influence the MS by adjusting certain parameters in
the equation, but the BS does not directly control the MS transmit power.

2.1.1 CLPC
In a CDMA system, CLPC allows commands to be sent from the BS so that power can be quickly
adjusted. In an OFDMA system, intracell interference is not significant, so adaptive modulation and
coding (AMC) and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) are used to provide fast link adaptation
for the data channel. CLPC is mainly used for fixed-rate control channel when channel fading
exceeds the power margin. In CLPC in the BS, the received signal quality is monitored and poweradjustment commands are sent.

2.1.2 OLPC
OLPC is mainly implemented in the MS. The MS measures downlink signal status, compensates
the uplink path loss, and controls interference to neighboring BSs. With OLPC, the MS needs some
static/semi-static configuration parameters to be signaled by the BS and does not require shortterm inputs. This saves overall signaling overhead.

2.1.3 CLPC-OLPC Combined PowerControl

In current 4G wireless standards, both CLPC and OLPC are combined to balance flexibility
with signaling overhead. OLPC is mostly used to save signaling overhead.

2.2 Uplink Power Control Algorithms

Depending on the goal of the power control mechanism, the uplink power-control algorithm can
be based on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR), or
Internet of things (IoT).

2.2.1 SNR-Based Algorithm

The goal of an SNR-based algorithm is to maintain the desired received signal strength in
the BS. An SNR-based algorithm does not take into consideration the uplink-received interference
power level. This type of algorithm is simple to implement and always convergent. Fractional power
control (FPC) in LTE is an SNR-based algorithm.

2.2.2 SINR-Based Algorithm

The goal of an SINR-based algorithm is to maintain the desired received SINR level in the BS
while taking into account the uplink interference power level. SMST used in IEEE 802.16m is an
SINR-based algorithm that defines the desired received SINR goal for each MS and takes into account

the measured downlink signal-to-interference ratio (SIR), uplink MIMO mode, and BS antenna
configuration.

2.2.3 IoT-Based algorithm

The goal of an IoT-based algorithm is to maintain the desired uplink interference level in
the BS. In general, an IoT-based algorithm can stabilize the interference level in the uplink to
help control interference and modulation-coding-scheme (MCS) level estimation.

3 Maximizing Throughputwith Power Control

3.1 System Modeling

Fig. 1 shows an uplink interference model for one MS in a typical MIMO-OFDMA cellular
system.

At any time, the MS uses the uplink to transmit to its home BS and causes interference to
neighboring BSs. To simplify the analysis, simple input simple output (SISO) is assumed, and the
parameters for the model are

Ps : The MS uplink transmission power (linear) of one data subcarrier at a given time;
i: cell index. i = 0 is the home BS, and i = 1-N is the neighboring BSs;
CLi : The instantaneous channel loss (linear) from MS transmitter to one receiving antenna of a BS;
NIi : The noise-plus-interference level (linear) per subcarrier at a BS receiving antenna.

3.2 Maximum Throughput Criteria
