LTE eRAN6.0 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 eRAN6.0 Power Control Feature
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 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 PhichInnerLoopPcSwitch parameter under DlPcSwitch is 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 PhichInnerLoopPcSwitch under the DlPcSwitch parameter are set to OFF, the power for PHICH is set through the PwrOffset 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 using the DlPcAlgoSwitch parameter.
When the PdcchPcSwitch parameter under DlPcAlgoSwitch 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 PdcchPcSwitch parameter under DlPcAlgoSwitch 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 using the DediDciPwrOffset 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.
