UL-PC: Overview LTE: orthogonal UL Tx, i.e. near-far-problem much less severe than WCDMA • UL: dynamic, slow PC – PC – Open Open Loop (OL) & Closed Loop (CL) • need for PL / shadowing etc. compensation OL PC • need for correction/ correct ion/ adjustments of e.g. open loop inaccuracies CL PC Signal strength S: Depends on PL, indoor loss etc., i.e. location
Low
High
Interference (I) - main cause: inter-cell Noise (N) = kB T Df + NFeNB
Power control does not control the absolute UE Tx power but the Power Spectral Density (PSD),, power per Hz, for a device. The PSDs at the eNodeB from different users have to (PSD) be close to each other so the receiver doesn’t work over a large range of powers. Different data rates mean different Tx bandwidths so the absolute Tx power of the UE will also change. PC makes that the PSD is constant independently of the Tx bandwidth. 8

DL-PC: DL power boosting for control channels • Power offsets to the PCFICH, PHICH, DL RS. • Introduced with RL30 (LTE430). • Better detection of PCFICH indicating the number of OFDM symbols for the PDCCH. • Better channel estimation in case of RS boosting may im prove HO performance. • Higher reliability reliabili ty of ACK/NACK transmission transmission via PHICH.
PCFICH OFDM symbols
The eNB ensures that total Tx power is not exceed, i.e. the sum power for any OFDM symbol must not exceed the committed maximum power, otherwise all the configured boosts (PHICH) may not be applied. Subcarrier power boosting is only allowed if the excess power is withdrawn withdrawn from the remaining subcarriers. Coverage in LTE LTE is very ver y often limited by UL, and in such cases it does not make much sense to improve the coverage in DL. UL coverage should be checked before applying DL control channels power boost. RS OFDM 30

Graceful Cell Shutdown Reduced Service Impact
• Stepwise downlink power reduction in order to enforce active and idle mode mobility to other cells layers
• Operator configurable settings

Graceful Cell Shutdown
• The eNode B reduces stepwise the DL power to a minimum power level • The number of steps and the shutdown time is operator configurable • The broadcasted power for the reference symbols is not changed, i.e. UE assumes that the eNode B power is unchanged
• A wait timer of 10 seconds is applied after the last power down step before the administrative state is set to locked and the operational state is set to disabled.
