Power control practice Step1: Calculate the adjustment based on level = [(upper threshold + lower threshold)/2 actual receiving level ] Positive (+) value means increase output power, minus (-) value means decrease output power, Increase power base on RxLev, the adjustment step is set as Min(|(upper threshold + lower threshold)/2 - actual receiving level|, MAX Up Adj. PC Value by RX_LEV). Decrease power base on RxLev, the adjustment step is set as Min(|(upper threshold + lower threshold)/2 - actual receiving level|,. MAX Down Adj. PC Value of Quality Zone). This is the expected adjustment based on level, Step 2: Then compare the actual quality with threshold of quality. If >= lower threshold, increase power. RxLev + MAX Up Adj. PC Value by Qual. < UL/DL RX_LEV Upper Threshold, applying power control; Otherwise, no power control, to avoid ping-pong power control may occur.

if < upper threshold, decrease power. RxLev MAX Down Adj. PC Value by Qual. > UL/DL RX_LEV Lower Threshold, applying power control; Otherwise, no power control, to avoid ping-pong power control may occur. Otherwise no require of power control. Step 3: General judgment Step 4: Then according to the general judgment get the final result.

Given conditions: The uplink receiving level is -85dBm, the quality is level 4. Data configuration is as follows:

Uplink signal level upper threshold: -60dBm, uplink signal level lower threshold: - 80dBm. Uplink signal upper quality threshold: level 0. Uplink signal lower quality threshold: level 2. The adjustable step size of quality zone 0 is 16dB, of quality zone 1 is 8dB, and of quality zone 2 is 4 dB. Max Up Adj. PC Value by RxLev: 16dB MAX Up Adj. PC Value by Qual.: 8dB MAX Down Adj. PC Value by Qual.: 4dB Question: What will be the uplink stable receiving level after power control? Answer: Step1: the adjustment based on level = [(-60+(-80))/2-(-85)]= 15 It means increase output power 15dB Choose Min(15dB, MAX Up Adj. PC Value by RX_LEV (16dB)) Actually adjust power 15dB base on RxLev Step 2: the actual quality is 4 > Uplink signal lower quality threshold: level 2. So increase power with MAX Up Adj. PC Value by Qual.: 8dB Step 3: Both RxLev and RxQual require increasing power, so choose the maximum value. The result is take the 15dB as the power control step. Step 4: RxLev after power control = -85dBm + 15dB = -70dBm
