1.3 Change Request Summary

Feature Name Dynamic BTS and MS Power Control Brief Feature Description When BTS and MS Power Control are used in the network, the total amount of radiated power is reduced. This implies that the uplink co- and adjacent channel interference in the network is reduced. The C/I will be increased for connections with low signal strength or with bad quality using full BTS or MS output power, since they experience a reduced interference level. On the other hand, the C/I is decreased for connections with high signal strength and good quality since they are subject to a reduced MS output power. The C/I reduction will however not affect the speech quality since these connections have a margin to the lowest tolerable C/I. Key Benefits Improved DCR and SDDR.

Risks Reduced Rxlev on Active Mode during drivetest activity.

Considerations Aggressive Power Control Settings are needed in a dense urban area to minimize the level of interference.

1.4 Further Details

1.4.1 The algorithms in MS Power Control and BTS Power Control are the same.

When a connection has low path loss (left part), the BTS transmits at its lowest possible power level. Although the MS receives a signal that exceeds the desired value, the BTS cannot reduce the transmitted power any further. Conversely, when a connection experiences high path loss (right part), the BTS transmits at the maximum allowed power level for the cell. The power cannot be increased even if the received signal strength in the MS is low. Note that this is dependent on the path loss compensation used.

When quality is taken into account the output power is regulated up or down depending on the received quality. The base station power then varies with the quality measured by the MS. When an MS has low rxqual (high quality) the base station sends on low power and when an MS has high rxqual, on high power. The higher the rxqual, the higher the power and vice versa.
