2 Overview
2.1 Feature Introduction
2.1.1 ZWF21-04-009 Power Control
This feature is only for R99 power control. For the power control algorithms for HSDPA,
HSUPA and DC-HSUPA, refer to the ZTE UMTS HSDPA Introduction Feature Guide,
ZTE UMTS HSUPA Introduction Feature Guide, and ZTE UMTS DC-HSUPA Feature
Guide.

Power Control
Power control includes uplink power control and downlink power control. Uplink power
control is used to eliminate near-far effect and ensure the system capacity and QoS.
Downlink power control is used to increase the system capacity on the condition that the
QoS is guaranteed. The ZTE RAN system supports power control on both downlink and
uplink connections.
 Open Loop Power Control

Open loop power control sets the initial transmit power of each physical channel.
 Outer Loop Power Control

Outer loop power control (OLPC) is to reduce the power consumption to the
maximum extent while maintaining the quality of communication required by the
bearer service quality. For the uplink OLPC, the RNC estimates the uplink quality,
and increases the SIRtarget when the reception quality is poor, or decreases the
SIRtarget when the reception quality is good. The downlink OLPC is realized by UEs.
The downlink BLERtarget is set on the RAN side.
In the uplink OLPC, the uplink reception quality is estimated by the RNC based on
the uplink service quality or DPCCH BER (namely, Quality Estimate (QE)) reported
by the Node B. Here the uplink service quality is evaluated through the CRC code
carried in the Frame Protocol (FP). The ZTE RAN performs uplink OLPC based on
the uplink service quality and DPCCH BER (QE). When only the uplink service
quality is considered, it takes a long time to adjust SIRtarget to a proper value after
the channel condition gets better suddenly. Moreover, at the beginning of
transmission, SIRtarget is usually set to a large value to ensure secure
communication. It also takes a long time to make SIRtarget reach an ideal value at the
initial convergence. The DPCCH BER evaluates and reacts to radio conditions
more quickly and accurately, so both DPCCH BER and service quality are taken
into account in the uplink OLPC. Additionally, the step of downgrading SIRtarget is
adjustable, which facilitates speeding up SIRtarget convergence when the radio
condition gets better suddenly.
 Inner Loop Power Control

Inner loop power control enables signals at the receiving end to reach the SIRtarget
by adjusting the transmit power of the peer end, so that the problem of channel
fading is solved. The principle of uplink inner loop power control is: The Node B

Power Control
compares the received uplink SIR with the SIRtarget specified by OLPC, and then
sends the power control command to a UE to adjust the transmit power, so that the
SIR value changes quickly to reach the SIRtarget. If the measured SIR is lower
(higher) than the SIRtarget, the Node B uses the power control command to notify the
UE to increase (decrease) its transmit power. The downlink power control is the
same as uplink power control, except that the power control command is sent by the
UE and executed in the Node B.
Both outer loop power control and inner loop power control are closed loop power
control.
2.1.2 ZWF21-04-008 Downlink Power Balancing
In the macro diversity status of a soft handover, a UE can communicate with all cells in
the active set. In this situation, the UE sends the same TPC commands to the cells in the
active set. The links have different transmission paths, so error codes will be produced in
the TPC commands, and some Node Bs receive wrong TPC commands. As a result,
some Node Bs increase their transmit power and some Node Bs decrease their transmit
power. Therefore, power drifting occurs. If the received power of different links differs a
lot, a high block error rate is caused after the combination of macro diversities on the UE,
and the gain of soft handover is decreased.
The ZTE RAN system uses downlink power balancing to eliminate power drifting. The
RNC allocates a reference or common reference power benchmark for each radio link in
the active set. The Node B calculates the power of each link adjusted as a result of power
balancing and adds the value to the power value used for downlink inner loop power
control. In this way, the power drifting is solved on the radio link.

3 Technical Description
3.1 ZWF21-04-009 Power Control
3.1.1 Uplink Open Loop Power Control
3.1.1.1 Uplink Open Loop Power Control of a Common Channel
The uplink open loop power control of a common channel is to determine the PRACH
transmit power.
In FDD mode, when a UE transmits the first preamble of PRACH, it calculates the initial

Power Control
power by using the following formula:
Preamble_Initial_Power = Primary CPICH DL TX power – CPICH_RSCP + UL

interference + Constant Value (3.1-1)
Where,
 Primary CPICH DL TX power is the transmit power of the primary CPICH channel,
and its value is obtained from the UUtranCellFDD.primaryCpichPower parameter.
The UE obtains the primary CPICH DL TX power from System Information Block
type 6 (SIB 6) (or SIB 5 if SIB 6 is not broadcast).
 UL interference is the uplink interference, which is measured and obtained by the

Node B and updated in real time in SIB 7. The UE obtains the UL Interference from
SIB 7.
 Constant Value is a value related to the cell environment and tower mounted
amplifier (TMA) configuration. It is calculated by the following formula:
Constant Value = Const_Val – ulRxGain_TMA
Where,
 Const_Val is obtained from the UPrach.constVal parameter.
 ulRxGain_TMA is the uplink Rx gain provided by the TMA, and its value is
obtained from the UCelInfoFDD.ulRxGainTMA parameter. When the TMA is
installed, the gain of the antenna feeder is produced, and the parameter is set
to the gain value. When the TMA is not installed, this parameter is set to 0.
The UE obtains the constant value from SIB 6 (or SIB 5 if SIB 6 is not broadcast).
If the parameters in the system broadcast information change, the UE calculates the
initial transmit power again and submits the result to the physical layer.
When the physical random access process is started, the UE sets the preamble transmit
power as Preamble_Initial_Power. If the value of Preamble_Initial_Power exceeds the
maximum power UUtranCellFDD.maxRachTxPwr, the UE sets the preamble transmit
power to the maximum power. If no response (+1 or -1) is received through the AICH

Power Control
after the preamble consisting of the selected signature and scramble is sent out, the UE
selects a new signature in the next timeslot, and uses it to form a preamble together with
the scramble, and then sends the preamble again. Next, the UE increases the preamble
transmit power by the Power Ramp Step [dB]. If the number of preamble transmissions
reaches the maximum number of retransmissions, the UE will exit the physical random
access procedure. If the response (+1) is received through the AICH, the UE transmits a
random access message. The power of the control part of the random access message
is the last transmit power of the preamble plus the offset P p-m [dB].
From the above description we get the formula for calculating the transmit power of the
control part of the PRACH message:
er  PowerRampStep P p - m
wer  Preamble_Initial_Pow
PRACH_C_Po
(3.1-2)
Where,
 Power Ramp Step is the power offset between two continuous preambles. It is
obtained from the UPrach.pRStep parameter.
 Pp_m is the power offset between the control part of the PRACH message part and
the last preamble, and its value is 2dB.
In addition, PRACH is similar to the uplink DPCH. That is, its data field and control field
are sent out after being multiplexed with I and Q channels and then added by scramble
c d
on the physical layer. Therefore, the parameters and (gain factor of the control
c
channel and data channel of the message part) also need to be determined. Here,
d
is 11, and is 15.
The UL interference can be updated in SIB 7 in two ways, which is configured by the
UUtranCellFDD.sIB7Originator parameter.
 If UUtranCellFDD.sIB7Originator is set to RNC, the Node B reports the common

measurement report of the RTWP to the RNC. When the RNC detects that the
change of RTWP is not less than the uplink interference update threshold (1dB), it
broadcasts it to the UE through the broadcast channel.

Power Control
 If UUtranCellFDD.sIB7Originator is set to Node B, the Node B updates the UL

interference directly in the system message based on the change of RTWP.
3.1.1.2 Uplink Open Loop Power Control of the R99 Dedicated Channel
Uplink open loop power control of the dedicated channel is to determine the initial
c d
transmit power of DPCCH, and the gain factors and of the uplink control
physical channel and uplink data physical channel.
1. Power configuration of DPCCH:
As required by the related standard, a UE should start uplink inner loop power
control according to the following power level when the first DPCCH is being set up:
DPCCH_Initial_power = DPCCH_Power_offset – CPICH_RSCP (3.1-3)
Where,
 The value of DPCCH_Power_offset is determined by the DPCCH open loop

power control method.
 The value of CPICH_RSCP is the CPICH channel code power measured by

the UE.
DPCCH_Power_offset is calculated by the following formula:
DPCCH _ Power _ Offset  Eb / N 0 (dB)  ( NT  IT )(dBm)  PG (dB)  CPICH _ TX _ Power

 ULRxGain _ TMA
(3.1-4)
Where,
 Eb/N0 is the quality factor of the DPCCH PILOT field. It is related to the service
type, and obtained from the USrvDivPc.dpcchPilotEbN0 parameter.
 NT+IT is the uplink interference, namely, RTWP, which is reported by the Node
B through the common measurement report (RTWP) and updated in real time
in SIB 7.

Power Control
 PG is the spread gain, fixed to 256.
 CPICH_TX_Power is the transmit power of the P-CPICH, obtained from the

UUtranCellFDD.primaryCpichPower parameter.
 ULRxGain_TMA is the uplink Rx gain provided by the TMA, and its value is
obtained from the UCelInfoFDD.ulRxGainTMA parameter. When the TMA is
installed, the gain of antenna feeder is produced, and the parameter is set to
the gain value. When the TMA is not installed, the parameter is set to 0.
 Note: The quality factor of the DPCCH PILOT field is related to the cell load
scenario, diversity mode, and service type.
2. Determination and configuration of c and d (gain factor of uplink control/data

physical channel):
Different strategies are used according to the features of a single service and
multi-service:
i. For a single service, c and d are configured directly according to different

service rates and different TFCs. It is usually required that either c or d must
be 15. Table 3-1 to Table 3-5 list the c and d values configured in the ZTE
RNC for several common services in the case of different TFC formats. In the
tables, 1×144 is the format of signaling transmission.

ii. For multi-service, the c and d values are calculated by the RNC and
configured for the UE.
3. Calculation of c and d for multi-service
We assume services A and B are provided (including signaling) for a UE.
(1) For the transmission combination (TFCmulti) when services A and B are
combined, the number of bits per frame mapped to the transport channel by each

Power Control
service is calculated according to the transmission format indication (TFI_i) of each

service corresponding to TFCmulti.
(2) The service with more bits transmitted in a frame is selected as the reference
service, and the service corresponding to the TFI that corresponds to TFCmulti is
selected as the reference service.
(3) The c and d corresponding to TFCsingle (formed by TFI_i of the selected

reference service) are taken as the reference c and d.
(4) The following formula is used to calculate and obtain the c and d
corresponding to this TFCmulti.
 d ,r ef Lr ef Kj
Aj  
 c ,r ef Lj K r ef
(3.1-5)
 c, j
 If Aj > 1, then  d , j  1.0 and is the maximum quantified value that
satisfies the condition that  c, j  1 / Aj. Note: If c, j  0 is obtained, then
 c, j  1 / 15 .
d, j
 If Aj <= 1, then is the minimum quantified value that satisfies the
condition that  d , j  Aj, and  c , j  1.0 .
Where,
 c,ref and d,ref are the gain factors corresponding to the above mentioned
TFCsingle. c,j and  d,j are the gain factors corresponding to the j
th
type of
TFCmulti.
 Lref is the number of dedicated physical channels needed by the number of bits
to be sent out in the case of TFCsingle.
 L,j is the number of dedicated physical channels needed by the number of bits
to be sent out in the case of TFCmulti.

Power Control
K r ef   RM i  N i
 i
Where: RMi is the semi-static rate matching factor of transport channel i in the
TFCsingle combination; Ni is the number of bits mapped from transport channel i to a
radio frame before rate matching is performed. ∑ refers to summing up all transport
channels in the TFC.
K j   RM i  N i
 i
The parameters in this formula have the same meanings as those in the previous
formulas. But ∑ refers to summing up all transport channels in the TFCj (TFCmulti).
4. To ensure that the power of the data channel reaches the required value before
data is transmitted, the power control preamble is sent before data transmission on
the uplink dedicated channel. In addition, closed loop power control is already
performed while the power control preamble is sent out. The length of the preamble
depends on the UCelInfoFDD.dpcchPcpLen parameter. At the same time, when
uplink DPDCH data is sent, no RB0–RB4 signaling is included in the first several
frames. The number of delayed signaling frames depends on the
UCelInfoFDD.srbDelay parameter.
3.1.1.3 Uplink Open Loop Power Control of the R99 in Compressed Mode
The gain factors c,C,j and d,C,j corresponding to a certain TFC used by the compressed
frame in compressed mode are obtained from c and d used by radio frames in normal
mode. The formula is as follows:
15 N pilot ,C
AC , j  Aj 
Nslots,C  N pilot , N
(3.1-6)

3.1.1.4 Acquisition Method of Service Related Power Control Parameters
The service related power control parameters are acquired as follows:
1. The configuration profile ID for power control indicated by

UUtranCellFDD.refUSrvPcProfile is found in the management object
(UUtranCellFDD).
2. The configuration profile (USrvPcProfile) that includes the power control parameters
for all service types is obtained through UUtranCellFDD.refUSrvPcProfile matching
with USrvPcProfile.profileId. These parameters are related to the load scenario
indicated by USrvPcProfile.intialloadscene. Then the power control parameters
used for a service type matching with USrvPc.srvType are obtained from the child
object (USrvPc) of the configuration profile (USrvPcProfile).

Power Control
3. Because some parameters for power control are related with transmit diversity
mode and the parameters are in the child object (USrvDivPc) of the object (USrvPc),
we need to match the actual transmit diversity mode of the user to
USrvDivPc.txDivMod and get the transmit diversity mode related the parameters for
power control for the service type.
The following figure shows the detailed procedure.

3.1.2 Downlink Open Loop Power Control
3.1.2.1 Configuration of Initial Power of the R99 Downlink Common Channel
In the downlink direction, the initial transmit power of P-CPICH, S-CPICH, P-CCPCH,
SCH, AICH, PICH and S-CCPCH should be configured. These channels are downlink
common physical channels.
The transmit power of P-CPICH indicated by UUtranCellFDD.primaryCpichPower

depends on the proportion of maximum transmit power of a cell.

Power Control
The power of P-CCPCH, P-SCH, S-SCH, AICH, and PICH depend on the offset to the
power of P-CPICH. BCH is mapped to the P-CCPCH physical channel. P-CCPCH power
is the same as that of BCH. In a non MIMO cell (cell portion), the S-CPICH power is
indicated by UScpich.scpichPwr.
Where,
Power offset of P-SCH is indicated by UUtranCellFDD.primarySchPower;
Power offset of S-SCH is indicated by UUtranCellFDD.secondarySchPower;
Power offset of AICH is indicated by UUtranCellFDD.aichPower;
Power offset of PICH is indicated by UUtranCellFDD.pichPower;
Power offset of BCH is indicated by UUtranCellFDD.bchPower.
Because the physical channel S-CCPCH bears the transport channels PCH and FACH,
and the number of FACH channels is not fixed, the transmit power of each PCH indicated
by UUtranCellFDD.pchPower and the maximum transmit power allowed for each FACH
indicated by USccpch.maxFachPwr borne by a certain S-CCPCH are specified in the
related protocol. Because the data rate of PCH is invariable, the transmit power of PCH
is determined by a fixed rate. The transmit power of FACH is determined by the
maximum data rate borne by this FACH. For different rates, the transmit power can be
measured in the actual environment. The transmit power of the data field of S-CCPCH
depends on the PCH transmit power and the maximum value of the maximum transmit
power of FACH borne on S-CCPCH. The transmit power of the TFCI field and Pilot field
of S-CCPCH are indicated respectively by the offsets PO1(USccpch.pO1) and
PO3(USccpch.pO3) relative to the transmit power of the data field.
3.1.2.2 Downlink Open Loop Power Control of the R99 Dedicated Channel
The transmit power of the downlink dedicated physical channel is related to the load of
the cell, interference, path losses, and rate of the bearer service. In the related protocol,
the initial transmit power of a specific dedicated channel is for the physical channel.
Therefore, the initial transmit power should be calculated separately for a single service
and multi-service. The estimation power algorithm based on CPICH Ec/N0 is used for

Power Control
calculating the initial transmit power.
1. Initial power of downlink dedicated channel
When a UE accesses or is handed over to the cell, and a downlink dedicated

physical channel needs to be set up for the UE. The RNC should configure the
downlink initial transmit power for the Node B. The strategy for configuring the initial
transmit power of the downlink dedicated channel affects the performance of the
links and capacity of the system.
The following formula is used to calculate the initial transmit power:

 L represents path loss. L is obtained from the measurement result reported by

the UE. If L cannot be obtained from the measurement result, its value is

The rule for obtaining L from the measurement result reported from the UE is
as follows:
If the measurement quantity of the UE is Pathloss, L=Valuepathloss.
If the measurement quantity of the UE is RSCP, L= PPCPICH – ValueRSCP.

PPCPICH refers to the transmit power of the PCPICH.
 k1 and k2 are scenario parameters. The values of k1 and k2 vary with specific

 Ptx,total is the total transmit power of a cell before a UE accesses the cell. It is
obtained from the common measurement report (TCP- Transmitted Carrier

To avoid excessive power usage of the dedicated channel, the maximum power
offset indicated by USrvDivPc.maxDlDpchPwr and minimum power offset indicated
by USrvDivPc.minDlDpchPwr of DPCH are specified in the 3GPP protocol.
To calculate the transmit power of a downlink dedicated physical channel for

j
multi-service, first, the transmit power (data part) DPCH_POWER needed for
transmitting each service is obtained with the calculation method used for a single
service. Second, the initial transmit power of DPCH for multi-service is calculated
based on the transmit power needed for each service. The formula is as follows:
N
DPCH _ Initial_ Power   j DPCH _ Power
j 1 (3.1-8)
On the DPCH, the bits of TFCI, TPC and PILOT are also multiplexed besides the
data bits because the information carried by these bits is important. Therefore, the
needed power is also a little higher than that of the data field. The power value
depends on the offset relative to the power of the data field and is indicated by PO1
(USrvDivPc.dpchPO1), PO2 (USrvDivPc.dpchPO2) and PO3 (USrvDivPc.dpchPO3)
respectively.

Power Control
ZTE supports the dynamic update PO2 function. When the dynamic update PO2
switch (ULogicalRnc.dynaUpdtPO2Sw) is turned on, the PO2 is dynamically
updated as follows:
The PO2 (USrvDivPc.dpchPO2) value is obtained based on the DPCH data rate
and traffic class. If DPCH bears multi-service, USrvDivPc.dpchPO2 values are
obtained respectively according to the service type, and then the minimum value is
obtained and sent to the Node B through the FP. If the DPCH data rate is changed,
then the new PO2 is obtained and sent to the Node B in the same way. Therefore,
PO2 dynamic update is completed.
The parameters involved in this section, such as USrvDivPc.maxDlDpchPwr,

USrvDivPc.minDlDpchPwr, USrvDivPc.dpchPO1, USrvDivPc.dpchPO2 and
USrvDivPc.dpchPO3, are related to cell load scenarios, diversity modes, and
service types. For the method for obtaining these parameters, refer to Section
3.1.1.4.
2. Related measurement
 TCP: Transmitted Carrier Power. The internal measurement value of the Node
B is obtained from the common measurement report and reported to the RNC.
The measurement is started after the cell is set up and the common transport
channel of the cell is set up, and ended after the cell is deleted.
 CPICH Ec/N0: the SNR for reception of CPICH. When a service is set up, the
measurement result carried in the RRC connection request is used. In the
case of handover, the measurement result of the intra-frequency or
inter-frequency measurement report is used.
3.1.2.3 Downlink Open Loop Power Control of the R99 in Compressed Mode
Because the adjustment proportion of DPDCH transmit power is the same as that of the
control field for the downlink compressed mode, it is unnecessary to change the values
of PO1, PO2 and PO3. That means the power offset between the control part and data
part in the compressed mode is the same as that in normal mode.

Power Control
3.1.3 Uplink Inner Loop Power Control
3GPP TS 25.214 specifies the following methods for calculating inner loop power control.
 At the receiving end, the SIR measurement (SIR=Eb/No) is performed for each
received radio link, and then the measurement result is compared with the
target SIR (SIRtarget) required by the service.
 If SIR ≥ SIRtarget, control information is returned to the sender, which is a

transmit power command (Transmitted Power Control-TPC) whose bit value is
0.
 If SIR < SIRtarget, a TPC command whose bit value is 1 is returned through the
downlink control channel to the sender.
 The sender determines whether to increase or decrease the transmit power

depending on the received TPC command and specified power control
algorithm. The adjustment extent is TPC_cmd×TPC_STEP_SIZE, where,
TPC_STEP_SIZE is obtained from USrvPc.tpcStepSize.
This section discusses how to select the proper inner loop power control algorithm. The
principles of inner loop power control for the uplink and downlink are the same.
Note about TPC: When the first radio link is set up between the UTRAN and UE, the
UTRAN cannot calculate the TPC by using the normal process before uplink
synchronization. Therefore, the UTRAN sends a fixed TPC pattern in the TPC bit of the
downlink DPCH. The TPC pattern should consist of UUtranCellFDD.dlTpcN instances of
the pair of TPC commands (0, 1), followed by one instance of TPC command 1. The TPC
pattern continuously repeats but should be forcibly restarted at the beginning of each
frame where CFN mod 4 = 0. The TPC pattern should be terminated once the uplink
synchronization is achieved.
3.1.3.1 Uplink Inner Loop Power Control of the R99 in Normal Mode
There are two uplink inner loop power control algorithms, which are described as follows:
 Algorithm 1 (When USrvPc.ulIlPcAlg is set to Algorithm 1 ):

Power Control
For Algorithm 1, the transmit power of the sender can be adjusted in every timeslot.
The UE determines whether to increase or decrease the transmit power according
to the TPC command received in each timeslot.
Rules for the UE to combine the TPC commands are as follows:
 Suppose the TPCs of all radio link sets are 1, then TPC_cmd = 1 (to increase
transmit power).
 Suppose one TPC coming from any radio link set is 0, then TPC_cmd = –1
(TPC = 0 indicates the transmit power should be decreased).
 Algorithm 2 (When USrvPc.ulIlPcAlg is set to Algorithm 2):
For Algorithm 2, the transmit power of the sender is adjusted every five timeslots.
Rules for the UE to combine the TPC commands are different in the following two
cases.
When a single TPC is received in one timeslot: The transmit power is not adjusted
th
during the first four timeslots (TPC_cmd = 0). When the TPC command of the 5
timeslot is received, a soft decision is made: TPC_cmd = 1 if all the five TPC
commands are 1; TPC_cmd =–1 if all the five TPC commands are 0; TPC_cmd = 0
in other cases.
When several TPCs are received in one timeslot: The transmit power is not
adjusted during the first four timeslots of the five continuous timeslots
th
(TPC_cmd=0). At the 5 timeslot, the TPCi (i=1,2,…,N, N is the number of radio link
TPC commands from different radio link sets) is determined first. Next, the TPCs
are respectively combined according to the TPC command rule used for the case
where a single TPC is received to obtain N temporary TPC commands (TPC_temp).
Finally, the TPC_cmds are combined using the following rule:
N
1
N
 TPC _ temp i  0.5
 If i 1 , then TPC_cmd = 1.
TPC _ tempi
 If any of is –1, then TPC_cmd = –1.
 In other cases, TPC_cmd = 0.

Power Control
Note: TPC_cmd = 1 indicates that the transmit power needs to be increased;

TPC_cmd = –1 indicates that the transmit power needs to be decreased; TPC_cmd
=0 indicates that the transmit power does not need to be adjusted.
Principles for selecting the inner loop power control algorithm:
 For Algorithm 1, inner loop power control is performed every timeslot, while for
Algorithm 2, inner loop power control is performed every five timeslots. That means
the frequency of inner loop power control for Algorithm 1 is higher. When the mobile
communication environment is quite unfavorable and the channel fades very quickly,
Algorithm 1 helps to converge the transmit power quickly to meet the service quality
requirement.
 For Algorithm 2, the inner loop power control is performed every five timeslots, so
the frequency of inner loop power control is lower compared with Algorithm 1. So
Algorithm 2 is applicable to favorable radio communication environments (the MS is
or will be in static state, for instance) and scenarios where the channel fades lowly
or hardly fades.
 Algorithm 1 either increases or decreases the transmit power when the TPC
command is received. Algorithm 2 increases, decreases or does not change the
transmit power after making a soft decision based on the TPC commands at five
different timeslots. Therefore, Algorithm 1 is more applicable to scenarios where the
channel fades fast, because the channel needs to increase or decrease the transmit
power quickly.
 In scenarios where the channel fades slowly, Algorithm 2 is more applicable

because the BLER is good enough over an extended period even if the transmit
power is not changed during this period and the measured SIR changes very little
as opposed to the target SIR.
Note:
 When uplink inner loop power control is performed, the transmit power calculated
by the UE can exceed the maximum transmit power of the uplink DPCH indicated
by USrvDivPc.maxUlDpchPwr. In this case, the UE can only transmit with the
configured maximum transmit power.

Power Control
3.1.3.2 Uplink Inner Loop Power Control of the R99 in Compressed Mode
The principle of inner loop power control in compressed mode is the same as that in
normal mode. That means the serving cell (a cell in the active set) estimates the received
SIRest of uplink DPCH, and one TPC command is produced and sent in each timeslot
except the downlink transmission gap according to the following rules.
If SIRest > SIRcm_target, then the TPC command is set to 0; if SIRest < SIRcm_target, then the
TPC command is set to 1. SIRcm_target is the target SIR value during the period when the
compressed mode is used.
Method for determining the SIRcm_target:
SIRcm_target = SIRtarget + ΔSIRPILOT + ΔSIR1_coding + ΔSIR2_coding (3.1-9)
Where,
 SIRtarget is the target SIR in normal mode.
 ΔSIRPILOT = 10Log10 (Npilot,N/Npilot,curr_frame):
 Npilot,curr_frame is the number of pilot bits per timeslot in the current uplink link
frame.
 Npilot,N is the number of pilot bits per timeslot in normal mode without
transmission gap.
 ΔSIR1_coding and ΔSIR2_coding are obtained from the parameters of the

high-level signaling configuration, that means DeltaSIR1, DeltaSIR2,
DeltaSIRafter1 and DeltaSIRafter2 can be calculated using the following methods.
 If the current uplink link frame contains the start of the first transmission gap of
the transmission gap pattern, then ΔSIR1_coding = DeltaSIR1. DeltaSIR1 is
obtained from UCompressMode.DeltaSIR1.
 If the current uplink link frame contains the frame next to the start of the first
transmission gap of the transmission gap pattern, then ΔSIR1_coding =
DeltaSIRafter1. DeltaSIRafter1 is obtained from
UCompressMode.DeltaSIRafter1.

Power Control
 If the current uplink link frame contains the start of the second transmission
gap of the transmission gap pattern, then ΔSIR2_coding = DeltaSIR2.
DeltaSIR2 is obtained from UCompressMode.DeltaSIR2.
 If the current uplink link frame contains the frame next to the start of the
second transmission gap of the transmission gap pattern, then ΔSIR2_coding
= DeltaSIRafter2. DeltaSIRafter2 is obtained from
UCompressMode.DeltaSIRafter2.
 In other cases, ΔSIR1_coding = 0 dB, and ΔSIR2_coding = 0 dB.
One TGPS (Transmission Gap Pattern Sequence) has only one measurement value, but
the UE can measure several values at the same time, so multiple compressed modes
can be activated at the same time in one radio frame. In this case, the SIR1_coding and
SIR2_coding corresponding to each compressed mode can be calculated, and then they
are summed up to obtain the available ΔSIR1_coding and ΔSIR2_coding.
N
SIR1 _ coding   SIR1 _ coding, i
i 1
N
SIR2 _ coding  SIR2 _ coding, i
i 1
Where, N is the number of types of compressed modes activated at the same time in one
radio frame.
Because no TPC command is sent in the timeslot of the transmission gap in the downlink
compressed frame, the UE sets TPC_cmd to 0 in the corresponding receiving timeslot.
Transmission gaps of compressed frames in compressed mode make the format of the
timeslot used in compressed mode different from that in normal mode, so the number of
pilots for each timeslot of the uplink DPCCH may differ between compressed mode and
non-compressed mode. To offset the changes in the total power of the pilot signals, the
transmit power of the uplink DPCCH should be changed. Therefore, at the start of each
timeslot, the UE calculates the power adjustment volume ΔPILOT.

Power Control
If the number of pilots per timeslot of the uplink DPCCH is different from that sent in the
previous timeslot, then ΔPILOT (dB) is obtained by the following formula:
ΔPILOT = 10Log10 (Npilot,prev/Npilot,curr);
Where,
 Npilot,prev is the number of pilot bits of the previous timeslot.
 Npilot,curr is the number of pilot bits of the current timeslot.
Otherwise, ΔPILOT =0.
Unless otherwise specified, in compressed mode, the UE adjusts the transmit power of
the uplink DPCCH with a step of ΔDPCCH (in dB) in every slot, which is given by:
ΔDPCCH = ΔTPC  TPC_cmd + ΔPILOT.
At the start of the first slot after an uplink or downlink transmission gap, the UE should
use a change in the transmit power of the uplink DPCCH by an amount ΔDPCCH (in dB),
with respect to the uplink DPCCH power in the most recently transmitted uplink slot.
ΔDPCCH = ΔRESUME +ΔPILOT.
The value of ΔRESUME (in dB) should be determined by the UE according to the Initial
Transmit Power mode (ITP) indicated by UCompressMode.Itp. The ITP is a UE specific
parameter, which is signaled by the network with other compressed mode parameters.
The different modes are summarized in the following table.
Table 3-6 Initial Transmit Power Modes In Compressed Mode
ITP Description
0 ΔRESUME = ΔTPC  TPC_cmdgap

1 ΔRESUME =  last
TPC_cmdgap should be the value of TPC_cmd derived in the first slot of the uplink
transmission gap, if a downlink TPC_command is transmitted in that slot. Otherwise
TPC_cmdgap should be zero if no downlink TPC_command is transmitted in that slot.

Power Control
last should be equal to the most recently computed value of i. i should be updated
according to the following recursive relations, which should be executed in all slots in
which both the uplink DPCCH and a downlink TPC command are transmitted, and in the
first slot of an uplink transmission gap if a downlink TPC command is transmitted in that
slot:
 i  0.9375 i 1  0.96875TPC _ cmd i  TPC k sc

 i 1   i
Where,
 TPC_cmdi is the power control command derived by the UE in that slot;
 ksc = 0 if additional scaling is used in the current slot and the previous slot.
Otherwise, ksc = 1.
i-1 is the value of i computed for the previous slot. When the uplink DPCCH is activated,
the value of i-1 should be initialized to zero at the end of the first slot after each uplink
transmission gap, and at the end of the first slot after each downlink transmission gap.
The value of i should be set to zero at the end of the first slot after each uplink
transmission gap.
After a transmission gap in either the uplink or the downlink, the period following
resumption of simultaneous uplink and downlink DPCCH transmission is called a
recovery period. RPL is the recovery period length and expressed as a number of slots.
RPL is equal to the minimum value out of the transmission gap length and 7 slots. If a
transmission gap or an Uplink DPCCH burst pattern gap is scheduled to start before RPL
slots have elapsed, then the recovery period should end at the start of the gap, and the
value of RPL should be reduced accordingly.
During the recovery period, there are two modes for the power control algorithm. The
Recovery Period Power (RPP) control mode indicated by UCompressMode.Rpp is
signaled with other compressed mode parameters. The different modes are summarized
in the following table.

Power Control
Table 3-7 Recovery Period Power control modes during compressed mode
RPP Description
The transmit power control algorithm is determined by the value of

0
PCA. The step size is ΔTPC.
The power control algorithm 1 is used during RPL slots after each
1
transmission gap. The step size is ΔRP-TPC.
For RPP mode 0, the step size is not changed during the recovery period, and ordinary
transmit power control is used. The algorithm for processing TPC commands is
determined by the value of PCA.
For RPP mode 1, during RPL slots after each transmission gap, power control algorithm
1 is used with a step size ΔRP-TPC instead of ΔTPC, regardless of the value of PCA.
Therefore, the change in uplink DPCCH transmit power at the start of each of the RPL+1
slots immediately following the transmission gap (except for the first slot after the
transmission gap) is given by:
ΔDPCCH = ΔRP-TPC  TPC_cmd + ΔPILOT
ΔRP-TPC is called the recovery power control step size and expressed in dB.
 If PCA is 1, ΔRP-TPC is equal to the minimum value of 3 dB and 2 ΔTPC.
 If PCA is 2, ΔRP-TPC is equal to 1 dB.
After the recovery period, ordinary transmit power control resumes. The power control
algorithm is determined by the value of PCA, and the step size is ΔTPC.
If PCA is 2, the sets of slots over which the TPC commands are processed should
remain aligned to the frame boundaries in the compressed frame. For both RPP mode 0
and RPP mode 1, if the transmission gap or the recovery period results in any incomplete
sets of TPC commands, TPC_cmd should be zero for those sets of slots which are
incomplete.

3.1.4 Downlink Inner Loop Power Control
3.1.4.1 Downlink Inner Loop Power Control of the R99 in Normal Mode
In the case of downlink inner loop power control, the UTRAN adjusts the current downlink
power P(k-1) to the new transmit power level P(k) according to the following formula
th
when it estimates the k number of the TPC command.
P(k) = P(k - 1) + PTPC(k) + Pbal(k) (3.1-10)
Where,
th
 PTPC(k) is the k number of power adjustment volume in the process of inner loop
power control.
 Pbal(k) is a correction value obtained according to the downlink power control

process. It is used to balance the power of the radio link so that the value can reach
a common reference power level.
PTPC(k) is determined with the following method. The UE sends a TPC command at each
timeslot. The UTRAN adjusts the transmit power at each timeslot according to the TPC
command.
If the limitation on power increase needs to be considered for downlink inner loop power
control, the value of PTPC(k) is determined by the following formula:
  TPC if TPC es t (k )  1 and  s um (k )   TPC  Power_Raise_Limit



Where, TPC is the power adjustment step (USrvPc.tpcDlStep), Power_Raise_Limit is
8 dB, and DL_power_averaging_window_size is 30 times of power adjustment. No

limitation is imposed on power increase for ZTE inner loop power control.

3.1.4.2 Downlink Inner Loop Power Control in Compressed Mode
The inner loop power control in compressed mode works in the same way as that in
normal mode, except that both downlink DPDCH and DPCCH stop transmission during
the transmission gap of compressed frames.
The transmit power of the first timeslot after the transmission gap of DPCCH is the same
as that of the timeslot prior to the transmission gap.
When the compressed mode is used, the UTRAN adjusts the current downlink transmit
power P(k-1) [dB] of each timeslot except the downlink transmission gap to a new power
th
value P(k) [dB] based on the TPC command received at the k-1 timeslot and the
following formula.
P(k) = P(k - 1) + PTPC(k) + PSIR(k) + Pbal(k) (3.1-12)
Where,
th
 PTPC(k) is the k power adjustment value according to inner loop power control.
th
 PSIR(k) is the k power adjustment value because the downlink SIRTarget changes in
compressed mode as opposed to normal mode (this change is reflected in inner
loop instead of outer loop).
 Pbal(k) [dB] is a correction value obtained according to the downlink power control
process. It is used to balance the power of the radio link so that the value can reach
a common reference power level.
The uplink TPC command may fail to be received due to transmission gaps in uplink
compressed frames. In this case, the Node B sets PTPC(k) to 0. Otherwise, PTPC(k) is
calculated in the same way as that in normal mode except that ΔTPC is replaced with
ΔSTEP in the formula.
During the recovery period (RPL number of timeslots) of the transmission gap, the
common power transmission control algorithm is used, but ΔSTEP = ΔRP-TPC. In a
non-recovery period, ΔSTEP = ΔTPC.
Where,

Power Control
 RPL is the length of the recovery period that is expressed in the number of timeslots.
RPL=minimum (out of the transmission gap length, 7). If the next transmission gap
starts again before the recovery period ends, then the recovery period ends at the
start of the next transmission gap. RPL depends on the length of the new
transmission gap. RPL = 7.
 ΔRP-TPC is the step (dB) of power control during the recovery period. ΔRP-TPC
=minimum (3dB, 2ΔTPC).
Power offset PSIR(k) = δPcurr – δPprev, δPcurr and δPprev respectively indicate the δP value
of the current timeslot and the latest transmission timeslot. The formula for calculating δP
is as follows:
δP=max (ΔP1_compression,…, Pn_compression) + ΔP1_coding + ΔP2_coding
Where, n is the type of TTI length of all TrCHs multiplexed to a CCTrCH. ΔP1_coding
and ΔP2_coding are obtained from the following relations and the uplink parameters,
including DeltaSIR1, DeltaSIR2, DeltaSIRafter1 and DeltaSIRafter2, which are informed
by the upper level.
 If the current frame contains the start of the first transmission gap, then ΔP1_coding
= DeltaSIR1. DeltaSIR1 is obtained from UCompressMode.DeltaSIR1.
 If the current frame is next to the frame that contains the start of the first
transmission gap, then ΔP1_coding = DeltaSIRafter1. DeltaSIRafter1 is obtained
from UCompressMode.DeltaSIRafter1.
 If the current frame contains the start of the second transmission gap, then
ΔP2_coding = DeltaSIR2. DeltaSIR2 is obtained from UCompressMode.DeltaSIR2.
 If the current frame is next to the frame that contains the start of the second
transmission gap, then ΔP2_coding = DeltaSIRafter2. DeltaSIRafter2 is obtained
from UCompressMode.DeltaSIRafter2.
 In other cases, ΔP1_coding = 0 dB, and ΔP2_coding = 0 dB.
ΔPi_compression is defined as follows:

Power Control
 If the compressed mode with half spectrum spread factor is used, ΔPi_compression
= 3 dB.
 In other cases, ΔPi_compression = 0.
When several compressed modes are used at the same time, the δP of each
compressed mode is calculated separately. The δP used for the current frame is the
summation of all δP values.
No transmit power of any timeslot in compressed mode can be higher than the maximum
transmit power or lower than the minimum transmit power.
ΔPi_compression is used to offset the influence of the high SIR needed for increasing
transmission bits in compressed mode.
3.1.5 Uplink Outer Loop Power Control
Outer loop power control includes uplink OLPC and downlink OLPC. The downlink OLPC
is performed by UEs and unrelated to the RNC. This section describes the uplink OLPC
algorithm on the UTRAN side only. The initial SIRTarget value (USrvDivPc.uLInitSIR) is
determined at the service access stage, and the quality information (such as CRCI, BER
and BLER) is obtained from the measurement report, the SIR Target adjustment decision
command is produced based on the service quality. If adjustment is necessary, SIR Target
is adjusted slowly and the signaling OUTER LOOP PC is used to notify the Node B. The
Node B compares the SIR in the dedicated measurement report with the latest SIRTarget
and makes the single link SIR reach SIRTarget through inner loop power control. In this
way, the service quality will not fluctuate drastically due to changes in the radio
environment.
There are two uplink OLPC algorithms: BLER Target Algorithm and Threshold Algorithm.
The algorithm to be activated is controlled by the URncInfo.olPcAlg parameter.
When URncInfo.olPcAlg is set to BLER Target Algorithm, the BLER Target Algorithm is
used. For details, refer to the ZTE UMTS Power Control Algorithm Enhancement Feature
Guide.

Power Control
When URncInfo.olPcAlg is set to Threshold Algorithm, the Threshold Algorithm is used.

For the R99 service, the CRC-based outer loop power control algorithm is used.
The CRC based OLPC adjusts the SIRTarget based on the total TB number and CRC error
TB number. When the CRC based OLPC is used, some improvement algorithms are
used to improve the SIRTarget adjustment result. The DPCCH BER based OLPC is used,
mainly because the CRC based OLPC adjusts the SIRTarget too slowly, and it is necessary
to speed up the SIRTarget convergence. The DPCCH BER based OLPC is also called QE
based OLPC.
3.1.5.1 CRC Based OLPC
The principle of the CRC-based outer loop power control algorithm is as follows:
The number of error blocks is counted according to the CRC result of the transport
channel. In addition, the total number of transmitted data blocks is also counted (called
error block tolerance counter). Then SIRtarget is updated based on the number of error
blocks and the total number of transmitted data blocks.
Principle for increasing the SIRTarget:
When the tolerance BLER period (USrvPc.blerAccpPeriod) (the unit is number of data
blocks instead of a time measurement unit) does not expire, but the number of error
blocks exceeds the error transport block number threshold (USrvPc.errorThresh),
SIRTarget needs to be increased (meanwhile, the error block counter and error block
tolerance counter are cleared to 0).
As the loop delay is at least 4–5 frames, the effect of any increase will be shown after
4–5 frames. Therefore, if a CRC indication error occurs again in 4–5 frames after the
increase, no error block is counted (a shield period (UCelInfoFDD.coverPrd) is used here
to shield out the adjustment function). If the CRCI indication error occurs again after the
shield period expires, the error blocks are counted again.
The step size for increasing SIRTarget is determined by the following formula:
SIRtargetUpStepSize = Minimum (SIRtargetUpStep + deltaStep1 + deltaStep2,

MaxSIRtargetUpStep)

Power Control
Where,
 MaxSIRtargetUpStep is a basic step size for increasing SIRTarget. It is obtained from

the USrvPc.ulSirTargUpStep parameter.
 deltaStep1 is an additional increase step size when the SIRTarget increase is caused
by consecutive error TBs. If there are at least two consecutive error TBs which
cause the SIRTarget increase, the deltaStep1 is obtained from
URncFunction.sirUpAddStep. Otherwise, the deltaStep1 is 0.
 deltaStep2 is another additional increase step size when the SIRTarget will be
increased continuously. If the last SIRTarget adjustment command is "increase" and
the SIRTarget is increased again during the period (indicated by
URncFunction.validTimTbCovPrd) after the shield period, then the deltaStep2 for
the following SIRTarget increase should be calculated with the following formula:
ErrTbNu m InCov Prd

deltaStep2= * SIRtargetUpStep;
ErrTbNumOutCovPrd
Where,
 ErrTbNumInCovPrd is the number of error TBs in the shield period after the
last SIRTarget increase.
 ErrTbNumOutCovPrd is the number of error TBs beyond the shield period

after the last SIRTarget increase.
In other cases, the deltaStep2 is 0.
 MaxSIRtargetUpStep is the maximum SIRTarget increase step size, and obtained

from the USrvPc.maxSirTargUpStep parameter.
Principle for decreasing the SIRTarget:
When the error block tolerance counter is not less than the tolerance BLER period
(USrvPc.blerAccpPeriod), the RNC will: (1) decrease SIRTarget if the received number of
error blocks is less than the error transport block number threshold (USrvPc.errorThresh),
(2) keep the SIRTarget unchanged if the received number of error blocks equals to the error

Power Control
transport block number threshold (USrvPc.errorThresh). After SIRTarget is decreased, it is

necessary to clear the error block counter and error block tolerance counter to 0.
For the decreasing of SIRTarget, ZTE uses the SIR target adaptive down step size function
to speed up the SIRTarget decreasing.
When the switch of SIR target adaptive down step size is off (USrvPc.swchAdaptiveStep
= 0), the step for decreasing SIRTarget is USrvPc.ulSirTargDnStep.
When the switch of SIR target adaptive down step size is on (USrvPc.swchAdaptiveStep
= 1), the step for decreasing SIRTarget is determined as follows:
 The initial step for decreasing SIRTarget is USrvPc.ulSirTargDnStep.
 When the last SIR target adjustment command is "decrease", the following SIR
target adjustment command also is down, and there is no error TB, the current step
for decreasing SIRTarget will be the result that the last step for decreasing SIRTarget
plus 0.1dB. If the last step for decreasing SIR Target is the biggest value
(USrvPc.maxSirTargDnStep), the current step for decreasing SIRTarget is reset to the
initial value (USrvPc.ulSirTargDnStep).
 When the last SIR target adjustment command is "increase" or "keep", or the last
and current SIR target adjustment command are both "decrease", but there are
error TBs during the current SIR target adjustment period, then the current step for
decreasing SIRTarget is reset to the initial value (USrvPc.ulSirTargDnStep).
To prevent the SIRTarget from being increased or decreased too much, MaxSIRtarget and
MinSIRtarget are used. MaxSIRtarget is obtained from the USrvDivPc.uLMaxSIR
parameter, and MinSIRtarget is obtained from the USrvDivPc.uLMinSIR parameter.
When SIRTarget adjustment result is bigger than MaxSIRtarget, SIRTarget = MaxSIRtarget.
When SIRTarget adjustment result is smaller than MinSIRtarget, SIRTarget = MinSIRtarget.
Note: The configuration of USrvPc.errorThresh, USrvPc.blerAccpPeriod,

USrvDivPc.uLInitSIR, USrvDivPc.uLMaxSIR and USrvDivPc.uLMinSIR is related to the
cell load scene (UUtranCellFDD.loadScene).

Power Control
3.1.5.2 QE Based OLPC
In the CRC-based OLPC, SIRTarget can be decreased only when the TB number is no less
than the tolerance BLER period, so the SIRTarget is decreased slowly, which affects the
system capacity. To increase the system capacity, the DPCCH BER-based OLPC
(namely, Quality Estimate (QE) based OLPC) is used. Here, DPCCH BER is the QE in
UL DATA FRAME FOR DCH.
When the QE based OLPC switch (USrvPc.ulOlPcQESwchSil) is on, the OLPC of the
ZTE RNC can be based on the physical channel BER (QE), but it only can decrease the
SIRTarget. Here, the silent mode for the transmission of the uplink data frame that contains
the BER measurement result is used. In silent mode, the uplink data frame can be sent to
the RNC only when the number of DCH TB is not zero.
The principle of QE based OLPC is as follows:
In the valid time window (8 seconds), if the condition that the physical channel BER is
smaller than or equal to physical channel BERtarget (SrvPc.qePhyBerTarSil) is fulfilled for
N (USrvPc.qeCntThres) times continuously, then the SIRTarget should be decreased.
For the SIRTarget decreasing step, refer to “CRC based OLPC”. After SIRTarget is
decreased, it is also necessary to clear all the OLPC counters to 0.
Note: USrvPc.ulOlPcQESwchSil is configured according to the cells. When multiple links

exist, the QE based OLPC will be activated only when the QE based OLPC switches of
all cells in active set are on.
3.1.5.3 Outer Loop Power Control Combination Strategy for Multi-Services
The common outer loop power control algorithm described above is designed for one
transport channel. For multi-service (that is, several transport channels that are
multiplexed to one CCtrCH), special treatment is needed for the outer loop power control
algorithm.
Firstly, QE-based OLPC can be activated only when all the QE based OLPC switches
(USrvPc.ulOlPcQESwchSil) of all services are on. The BER target value should be the
minimum value of USrvPc.qePhyBerTarSil of all the services.

Power Control
Secondly, the SIRTarget adjustment actions of different services should be combined

together. For multi-service (that is, several transport channels are multiplexed to one
CCtrCH), if any one service type fails to satisfy the service quality requirement, SIR Target
is increased. SIRTarget is not decreased unless all valid services indicate to decrease
SIRTarget. Invalid services are excluded from the combination of power control. Invalid
services are those that cannot serve as the reference for SIR Target adjustment because
their data volumes are not enough. If a service does not have enough data volume, it
means the total number of packets received in the valid time window (8 seconds) is
smaller than the error block tolerance period for the service.
3.1.6 Downlink Outer Loop Power Control
The downlink outer loop power control is performed by UEs. The RNC provides the
corresponding BLER target values (USrvPc.blerTarget) to UEs.
3.2 ZWF21-04-008 Downlink Power Balancing
3.2.1 Algorithm Description
In the case of soft handover or macro diversity, a UE can communicate with all cells in
the active set. With downlink inner loop power control, the UE sends the same TPC
commands to the cells in the active set. The links have different transmission paths, so
error codes will be produced in the TPC commands, and some cells receive wrong TPC
commands. As a result, some cells increase their downlink transmission power and
some cells decrease their downlink transmission power. Therefore, power drifting occurs.
The downlink power balancing feature is used to eliminate power drifting.
The downlink power balancing is to balance the downlink transmit power of one or more
radio links used by the Node Bs related to a UE. In the case where a single link is
involved, the downlink average power will be insensitive to the central value of a power
control range if the downlink power control balancing is used. In the case where several
links are involved, power balancing can help overcome power drifting.
A simple formula for calculating Pbal is as follows:

Power Control
P bal  (1  r )( Pr ef  PP CPICH  Pinit )

precision±0.5 dB (3.2-1)
Where,
 Pref is the reference power, which is equal to DL Reference Power.
 PP-CPICH is the transmit power of the primary CPICH, obtained from the
UUtranCellFDD.primaryCpichPower parameter.
 Pinit is the code power of the last timeslot in the previous adjustment period. If the
last timeslot in the previous adjustment period is included in the transmission gap
(in compressed mode), then Pinit equals to the code power of the timeslot prior to the
transmit gap.
 r is the adjustment convergence coefficient, and its value is 0.96.
A simple method for calculating DL Reference Power is as follows:
The downlink transmit power of each radio link, needed for calculating DL Reference
Power, can be obtained indirectly from the Transmitted code power (TCP: transmit power
of PILOT field of DPCH) periodically reported by the Node B by the following formula:
j
PDPDCH (dBm) j TCP j PO3 (3.2-2)
Where,
j th
 PDPDCH is the downlink transmit power of the j radio link, unit: dBm;
j
 PO3 is the power offset between the DL DPCH PILOT field and the DPCH data
th
field (USrvDivPc.dpchPO3) of the j radio link;
j th
 TCP is transmitted code power periodically reported by the Node B of the j radio
link.
th
The downlink reference power of the j radio link is:
j
DL _ Re fer _ Power (dB) j PDPDCH  j P _ CPICH _ Power (3.2-3)

Power Control
j th
Where, P_CPICH_POWER is P-CPICH power of the j radio link.
Next, RNC takes the average value of the reference power for each radio link as the
required DL Reference Power.
j 1
j
DL _ Re fer _ Power
DL _ Re fer _ Power 
N (3.2-4)
Where, N is the number of radio links used by the Node B.
The method for power balancing between the RNC and Node B is as follows:
 The dedicated TCP values of all links are obtained from the dedicated
measurement report. The DL Reference Power is obtained by computing the
reported values.
 When the absolute value of the difference between the DL Reference Power
obtained in the new adjustment period and that obtained in the previous period
exceeds the downlink reference power adjustment threshold (2dB), the signaling of
the DL Power Control Request message that contains the information of DL
Reference Power is sent to the Node B.
 The Node B uses this value to implement link balancing through the inner loop
power control algorithm.
Other parameters in the Iub interface related to power balancing are as follows:
1. Adjustment Type:
This parameter indicates whether to perform the downlink power balancing

adjustment and the adjustment type. It can be set to None or Common. It is
obtained from the UIubLink.adjType parameter.
2. Adjustment Period:
This parameter indicates the adjustment period for power balancing, and its value is
50 frames.

Power Control
3. Max Adjustment Step (1–10 slots):
Max adjustment step defines a time period in slots. It is set to 8 slots, during which
the accumulative adjustment for power balancing does not exceed 1dB.
Note:
When the ZTE RNC serves as a DRNC, whether to use DL POWER CONTROL
REQUEST message from the Iur interface to control power balancing is determined by
URncFunction.iurPwrCtlReqSwch.
When URncFunction.iurPwrCtlReqSwch is set to 1, the DRNC sends the DL POWER

CONTROL REQUEST message received from the SRNC to the Node B.
When URncFunction.iurPwrCtlReqSwch is set to 0, the DRNC discards the DL POWER

CONTROL REQUEST message received from the SRNC through the Iur interface.
3.2.2 Related Measurement
To fulfill downlink power balancing, the Node B needs to perform dedicated

measurement of Transmitted Code Power (TCP).
The strategy for starting and terminating the Node B TCP dedicated measurement is as
follows:
 The measurement of TCP is started after the UE changes from non-macro diversity
to macro diversity status.
 The measurement of TCP is terminated after the UE changes from macro diversity
to non-macro diversity status.
The Node B TCP dedicated measurement for power balancing is reported periodically.
The Node B dedicated measurement parameters are obtained in the following way. A
unique record is obtained by matching 0: Period Report Parameters for TCP in Power
balancing with UNbDedMeas.nbDMCfgNote in the management object UNbDedMeas,
and then the following Node B dedicated measurement parameters are obtained.

6.1 Application Scenario
1. Power control is a basic feature. It should be used in all scenarios to ensure the
service quality and system capacity.
Whether the QE based OLPC in the uplink outer loop power control is activated or
not is based on the cell load. When the system capacity is limited due to high uplink
load, this function can be activated to improve the system capacity.
2. Power balancing is also a basic feature. It also should be used in all scenarios to
avoid power drifting when a soft handover occurs.

1. Power configuration of DPCCH:

DPCCH_Initial_power = DPCCH_Power_offset – CPICH_RSCP (3.1-3)

 The value of DPCCH_Power_offset is determined by the DPCCH open loop

 The value of CPICH_RSCP is the CPICH channel code power measured by

DPCCH_Power_offset is calculated by the following formula:

DPCCH _ Power _ Offset  Eb / N 0 (dB)  ( NT  IT )(dBm)  PG (dB)  CPICH _ TX _ Power
