Overview

2.1

Feature Introduction

2.1.1

ZWF21-04-013 Load Adaptive Power Control

There may be high-load cells in an actual network and the load of these cells differ
greatly between busy hours and idle hours. Therefore, fixed power control parameters
cannot simultaneously satisfy the requirements of service quality and system capacity
when the load of the cells changes with time. This feature is introduced to increase

ZTE Confidential Proprietary

Load Adaptive Power Control

system capacity when the cell load is high and increase service quality when the cell load
is low.
Users with higher priorities require better service quality. To satisfy different QoS
requirements of users with different priorities, the power control parameters must be
configured according to actual priorities.

For detailed information about the power control parameters, refer to the ZTE UMTS
Power Control Feature Guide, ZTE UMTS HSUPA Introduction Feature Guide, and ZTE
UMTS Power Control Algorithm Enhancement Feature Guide.
When a service is set up or reconfigured, the power control parameters are obtained
according to the following principle:

ZTE Confidential Proprietary

Load Adaptive Power Control

If the switch UCelInfoFDD.blerLoadSwitch is enabled, the uplink and downlink

power control parameters are determined from the 9-element parameters based on
the actual uplink cell load and actual downlink cell load respectively. Otherwise, the
uplink and downlink power control parameters are determined based on the default
cell load level indicated by the parameter UCelInfoFDD.defaultLoadLevel.

If the switch URncInfo.blerArpSwitch is enabled, the uplink and downlink power

control parameters are determined based on the actual user priority indicated by
ARP (Allocation/Retention priority). If the switch is disabled or the ARP information
cannot be obtained, the parameters are determined based on the user priority
indicated by the default ARP configured by the parameter URncInfo.defaultArpSeg.

If the switches UCelInfoFDD.blerLoadSwitch and URncInfo.blerArpSwitch are both

enabled, the power control parameters for a newly connected user are obtained as
illustrated in the following figure:

The uplink cell load level, downlink cell load level, and user priority are determined as
follows:
1. Uplink cell load level

ZTE Confidential Proprietary

10

Load Adaptive Power Control

The uplink load level of a cell depends on the RoT level and the level of the number
of uplink equivalent AMR users. The ZTE RNC chooses the lower level of the two
levels as the uplink load level.
Where,
i.

The RoT level is determined by the following method:

The ZTE RNC records each RTWP common measurement result, and filters
the RoT value according to the following formula:
RoT(t)= * RoTreport + (1-)*RoT(t-1)

(3.1-1)

Where,
is the filter factor, which is obtained from URncInfo.loadFilterCoeff.
RoTreport is the reported value of the current RTWP common measurement.
The formula is: RoTreport (dB) = RTWP (dBm) - Background noise (dBm).
RoT(t-1) is the filter result of the previous time.
RoT(t) is the current filter result.
The RoT level is determined by comparing the filter result RoT(t) and the
related threshold. For detailed information, refer to the following table:
Table 3-1

Level 1: Low RoT level

Level 2: Medium RoT level

Level 3: High RoT level

ii.

Uplink equivalent AMR user number level is determined as following method:

The load factor of single service is calculated as:

ZTE Confidential Proprietary

11

Load Adaptive Power Control

(3.1-2)
Firstly, RNC will calculate the load factor of the NB-AMR service (LAmr) and the
load factor of service (i) (Li) according to the formula (3.1-2), and then
calculate the equivalent AMR user number of the service (i) according to the
formula (3.1-3):
(3.1-3)
Where,
a)

is load factor of the service (i), and

is the load factor of the

NB-AMR service.
b)

Eb/No is the uplink service quality factor. It is obtained from the

parameter USubSrv.ulEbN0Pc for the DCH and non-schedule E-DCH
service, and it is obtained from the parameter USubSrv.sEdchEbN0Pc for
the schedule E-DCH service. The unit of USubSrv.ulEbN0Pc and
USubSrv.sEdchEbN0Pc is dB, so they will be transferred through the
formula

10^(USubSrv.ulEbN0Pc/10)

and

10^(USubSrv.sEdchEbN0Pc/10) in the calculation.

c)

R: it is the target rate for DCH and non-schedule E-DCH services, it is

GBR for the schedule E-DCH services, it is NBR indicated by
UCelInfoFDD.rsrvdBitRatePC for the interactive or background E-DCH
services.

d)

W is 3.84Mbps.

The single signaling will also be calculated the equivalent AMR user number
according to the rules above-mentioned.
And for avoiding the influence to the power control parameters caused by the
fluctuating of equivalent AMR user number, the equivalent AMR user number
will be filtered as the following formula:
UserNum(n) = * UserNumSample + (1-)*UserNum(n-1)

(3.1-4)

Where,

ZTE Confidential Proprietary

12

Load Adaptive Power Control

a)

is the filter factor , and is obtained form URncInfo.userNumFilterCoeff.

b)

UserNumSample is the current equivalent AMR number.

c)

UserNum(n-1) is the filter result last time.

d)

UserNum(n) is the filter result this time.

The equivalent AMR user number level is determined through making a

comparison between the filter result UserNum(n) and the related threshold as
following table:

Table 3-2

2. Downlink cell load level

The downlink load level is determined based on the downlink effective load.
The downlink effective load is defined as:
DlPower = NonHsPower +

HS-DSCH Required Power

(3.1-5)

Pr iority

Based on each common measurement report of NonHsPower and HS-DSCH

Required Power, the RNC does filtering of DlPower in accordance with the following
formula:
DlPower (t) = * DlPowerReport + (1-)* DlPower(t-1)

ZTE Confidential Proprietary

(3.1-6)

13

Load Adaptive Power Control

Where,

is the filter factor, which is obtained from URncInfo.loadFilterCoeff.

DlPowerReport is the current common measurement result, which is obtained

from the formula (3.1-5).

DlPower(t-1) is the filter result of the last time.

DlPower (t) is the current filter result.

The DL load level is determined by comparing the filter result DlPower (t) and the
related threshold. For detailed information, refer to the following table:

Engineering Guide

6.1

Application Scenario
There may be some cells with heavy uplink load (uplink interference) or heavy downlink
load (power) in the UMTS network. There may also be some cells with busy hours and
idle hours occurring alternately, and the cell load may change greatly with the time. In
such cases, it is recommended to enable the load adaptive power control feature for
these cells. In this way, when the load of a cell is high or medium level or the cell is in
busy hours, the power control parameters can be set to values that satisfy low QoS
requirement. In other words, the uplink capacity and basic KPI performance of the
network, such as call completion ratio and dropped-call rate, are improved by degrading
user experience.

Load Adaptive Power Control

In a network with users of different priorities, if the user experience is degraded after the
load adaptive power control feature is used, it is recommended to enable the ARP
adaptive power control feature, which provides different service quality for users of
different priorities and ensures that higher-priority users have good service quality.
In a network with users of different priorities, if the load adaptive power control feature is
not enabled but it is required that the service quality of higher-priority users must be
guaranteed all the time, it is recommended to enable the ARP adaptive power control
feature to improve the service quality of

6.2

higher-priority users.

Feature Validation Procedure

Table 6-1

Feature Validation Procedure

Test Item
Prerequisite

Load Adaptive Power Control

1.

The WCDMA system is ready.

2.

Cell1 supports HSUPA, HSDPA and DCH.

3.

UE1 camps on Cell1 in Idle mode.

4.

UE1 supports R99 and subscribes to interactive or background

services, MBRUL384Kbps/ DL384Kbps, ARP = 2.

5.

Turn on the RNC level switch for ARP based BLER function.
Turn on the Cell level switch for Load based BLER function.

6.

Adjust the threshold value for low/high threshold to a

proper value to make Cell1 be in Low/Medium/High Load

state.
7.

Adjust the Initial/Maximum/Minimum Sir target value

(9-element group) for SrvType=28 (uplink Conversation

12.2Kbps) to a unique value so that the values can be
distinguished from each other.
For example,
the default value for Initial Sir Target is
[3;1.5;1.5;3;1.5;1.5;3;1.5;1.5], change it to [3.1; 1.7; 1.6; 3;
1.5; 1.4; 2.9; 1.3; 1.2].
the default value for Maximum Sir Target is
[10;6;6;6;6;3.5;6;3.5;2], change it to
[10;6.8;6.6;6.4;6.2;3.8;6;3.5;2].
the default value for Minimum Sir Target is
[0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0], change it to [1; 0.9; 0.7; 0.8; 0.6; 0.4; 0.3;
0.2; 0.1].
Steps

When Cell1 has only a few users, it is In Low Load state; UE1s
ARP = 2, thus it is a silver user, UE1 makes a CS call and records
the RCT signal.

Expected Result

The Sir initial/Maximum/Minimum value for a silver user in a Low

load state cell must be the 2

nd

element in 9-element group.

Sir initial = 1.7

Sir Maximum = 6.8
Sir Minimum = 0.9

Using the Y=f(x) = 10*(x+8.2) to convert the physical values to the
following values:
Sir initial = 99
Sir Maximum = 150
Sir Minimum = 91
Verify that the OlpcParaInfo message in the RCT signal, ARP level
and Load level corresponding to the Sir target value is correct.

TOlpcParaInfo.byUlInitSir = 99
TOlpcParaInfo.byUlMaxSir = 150
TOlpcParaInfo.byUlMinSir = 91

Impact on the Network

1.

Impact on the performance of the devices

After the feature is enabled, the cell load must be calculated in real time, including
uplink RoT, the number of uplink equivalent AMR users, and downlink effective
power. Therefore, the CPU load of the RNC will be increased. The CPU load of the
CMP board will be increased about 0.5% and the CPU load of the DMP board will
be increased about 1%.

Impact on the network KPIs

i.

Load adaptive power control

Advantages of this feature:
This feature is applicable to scenarios where the network load changes greatly
with time or the load of some cells is high.
With this feature, different values for power control parameters are configured
for different load levels, in other words, the power control parameter values
satisfying low QoS requirement are used for high-load cells. The system uplink
capacity and the basic KPI performance of the network, such as call
completion ratio and dropped-call rate, are improved by degrading user
experience. Meanwhile, the power control parameter values satisfying high
QoS requirement are used for low-load cells to improve the user experience.
For the feature of Power Control Algorithm Enhancement, refer to the ZTE
UMTS Power Control Algorithm Enhancement Feature Guide.
The uplink load per uplink throughput is reduced by 6%17%.The HSUPA
throughput in high-load cases is increased about 7%11%.
Dropped-call rate of the PS service is reduced by 7%20%.
Other KPIs are not affected.
Disadvantages of this feature:
For high-load cells or cells in busy hours, the service quality is degraded
compared with the service quality when the cell load is low.

ii.

ARP adaptive power control

Advantages of this feature:
The feature is applicable to scenarios with subscribers of different priorities.
The power control parameter values satisfying high QoS requirement are used
for users of higher priorities while the power control parameter values

ZTE Confidential Proprietary

Load Adaptive Power Control

satisfying low QoS requirement are used for users of lower priorities. This
feature helps improve the experience of higher-priority users.
Disadvantages of this feature:
The experience of lower-priority users is degraded.
iii.

Both the load adaptive power control and the ARP adaptive power control are
enabled
Advantages:
In a network with users of different priorities, if the user experience is
degraded after the load adaptive power control feature is used, it is
recommended to enable the ARP adaptive power control feature, which
provides different service quality for users of different priorities and ensures
that higher-priority users have good service quality.
Disadvantages:
