Power control is implemented on the PUSCH, PRACH, PUCCH, and SRS. Both the
PUSCH and PUCCH support open-loop power control and closed-loop power control,
while the PRACH supports only open-loop power control.

Downlink power control is a process of determining the transmit power of a downlink

physical channel. The downlink physical channel transmit power per user is offset or
adjusted based on the transmit power of the cell reference signal.
3.1.1 PUSCH Power Control
The Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) is primarily used to transmit service data.
The purpose of PUSH power control is to determine the PUSCH transmit power.
PUSCH power control includes open-loop power control and closed-loop power control.
Open loop power control is determined by these OMC parameters: p0NominalPUSCH
(UL Power Control), poNominalPUSCH1 (UL Power Control), p0UePusch1Pub (UL
Power Control), alpha (UL Power Control), and downlink path loss of the UE. Where,
p0NominalPUSCH (UL Power Control) and poNominalPUSCH1 (UL Power Control)
represent the nominal power related to the cell, p0UePusch1Pub (UL Power Control)
represents the power offset related to the UE for data transmission, and alpha (UL Power
Control) represents a compensation factor for path loss. The size of PUSCH RBs that is
allocated to a UE, downlink path loss of the UE, alpha, p0UePusch1Pub and
poNominalPUSCH determine the PUSCH transmit power. Closed loop power control is
used to adjust the transmit power at the UE side dynamically based on the open-loop
transmit power through the TPC command.
PUSCH transmit power affects cell-edge throughput and Quality of Service (QoS). When
configuring an initial transmit power for PUSCH, the cell-edge coverage and cell-edge
data rate requirements should be considered.
3.1.2 PUCCH Power Control
The Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) is primarily used to transmit uplink control
information. Different PUCCH formats require different transmit power. PUCCH power
control includes open-loop power control and closed-loop power control. PUCCH
transmit power is determined by these parameters: poNominalPUCCH (UL Power
Control), p0UePucchPub (UL Power Control), deltaFPucchFormat1 (UL Power Control),
deltaFPucchFormat1b (UL Power Control), deltaFPucchFormat2 (UL Power Control),
deltaFPucchFormat2a (UL Power Control), and deltaFPucchFormat2b (UL Power
Control). Where, poNominalPUCCH (UL Power Control) represents the nominal power
related to the cell, p0UePucchPub (UL Power Control) represents the power offset

related to the UE for data transmission, and deltaFPucchFormat1 (UL Power Control),
deltaFPucchFormat1b (UL Power Control), deltaFPucchFormat2 (UL Power Control),
deltaFPucchFormat2a (UL Power Control), and deltaFPucchFormat2b (UL Power
Control) represent the power offset corresponding to PUCCH format1a in different
formats. Closed loop power control is used to adjust the transmit power at the UE side
dynamically based on the open-loop transmit power through the Transmit Power Control
(TPC) command.
3.1.3 SRS Power Control
Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) power control includes open-loop power control and
closed-loop power control. For SRS power control, some open-loop transmit power
parameters on a single RB are the same as those of PUSCH, for example,
poNominalPUSCH1 (UL Power Control), p0UePusch1Pub (UL Power Control), and
alpha (UL Power Control). Unlike the transmit power of PUSCH, the transmit power of
SRS is related to format offset, namely, powerOffsetOfSRS (UL Power Control). Both the
closed-loop power control of SRS and that of PUSCH use the same closed-loop
compensation value.
3.1.4 PRACH Power Control
The methods such as open-loop power control and gradual power ramp-up are used in
the random access flow. After the preamble signal is transmitted over a selected random
access channel, the UE waits for random access response message. PRACH transmit
power is determined by these OMC parameters: preambleIniReceivedPower (PRACH)
and powerRampingStep (PRACH). Where, preambleIniReceivedPower represents the
initial target received power for random access, and powerRampingStep (PRACH)
represents the power ramp-up step.
3.1.5 Downlink Physical Channels or Signal Power Offsets Related to Cell

Reference Signals
The transmit power of downlink physical channels (such as PBCH, PDCCH, PCFICH,
and PHICH), primary synchronization signal, or secondary synchronization signal) is
determined by the cell reference signal and power compensation.

3.1.6 Logical Downlink Channel Power Offsets Related to Cell Reference

Signals
The initial transmit power of PDSCH is determined by PA and PB.
3.2 Technical Description
3.2.1 PUSCH Open-Loop Power Control
PUSCH open-loop power control is primarily used to determine the transmit power of a
PUSCH.
According to 3GPP TS36.213, the transmit power of a PUSCH on the UE side is defined
as follows:
PPUSCH (i ) min{PCMAX ,10log10 ( M PUSCH (i )) PO _ PUSCH ( j ) ( j ) PL TF (i) f (i)}[dBm]
Where,
PO _ PUSCH ( j ) and ( j ) are open-loop power control parameters, while TF (i) and
f (i ) are closed-loop power control parameters.
PCMAX configuration
PCMAX represents the maximum transmit power of the UE, which is related to the
UE capability level and the maximum allowable transmit power provided by

higher layers.
M PUSCH (i)
M PUSCH (i) is the uplink RB number allocated to the UE.
PO_PUSCH,c ( j )
configuration

PO_PUSCH,c ( j ) consists of PO _ NOMINAL _ PUSCH ( j ) and PO_UE_PUSCH,c ( j ) .
The j parameter is provided by higher layers. When the j parameter is set to 0, it

represents semi-static authorized PUSCH transmission or retransmission. When the j
parameter is set to 1, it represents dynamic authorized PUSCH transmission or
retransmission. When the j parameter is set to 2, it represents random-access-response
authorized PUSCH transmission or retransmission.
When the j parameter is set to 0 or 1, PO _ NOMINAL _ PUSCH ( j ) is related to the throughput of
an uplink edge UE.
For a single cell, the greater PO _ NOMINAL _ PUSCH ( j ) , the greater the uplink throughput and
edge coverage are. However, if PO _ NOMINAL _ PUSCH ( j ) is set to a too large value, inter-cell
interference occurs. PO _ NOMINAL _ PUSCH ( j ) corresponds to p0NominalPUSCH (UL Power
Control) and poNominalPUSCH1 (UL Power Control) in the OMC.
When the j parameter is set to 2:
PO_NOMINAL_PUSCH (2) PO_PRE PREAMBLE _ Msg 3
Where, P0 _ PRE represents the initial target received power for random access and
PREAMBLE _ Msg 3 represents the power offset of Msg3 based on the PRACH message.
They are signalled from higher layers and correspond to preambleIniReceivedPower

(PrachFDD) and deltaPreambleMsg3 (UL Power Control) respectively in the OMC. It is
recommended that P0 _ PRE is set to -110 dBm and PREAMBLE _ Msg 3 is set to 0 dB.
PO_UE_PUSCH,c ( j ) represents the power offset related to the UE for data transmission
through the PUSCH, which corresponds to p0UePusch1Pub (UL Power Control) in the
OMC.

( j ) configuration

( j ) is a compensation factor for path loss.
When the j parameter is set to 0 or 1, 0, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1 .
( j) 0.8 is recommended.
When the j parameter is set to 2, ( j ) 1 .
( j ) affects the throughputs of cell-center and cell-edge UEs. ( j ) corresponds

to alpha (UL Power Control) in the OMC.
When ( j ) 1 , the transmit power of the UE is calculated as full path loss

compensation.
When ( j ) 1 , the transmit power of the UE is calculated as partial path loss

compensation.
Path loss is calculated by the UE according to the transmit power of the reference signal
and the received RSRP as below:
PL = referenceSignalPower higher layer filtered RSRP
Where, referenceSignalPower is provided by higher layers. This path loss means the
downlink path loss.
3.2.2 PUSCH Closed-Loop Power Control
According to 3GPP TS36.213, the transmit power of a PUSCH on the UE side is defined
as follows:
Where, PO _ PUSCH ( j ) and ( j ) are open-loop power control parameters while TF (i)
and f (i ) are closed-loop power control parameters.
Closed-loop power control parameters are explained as follows:

1. TF (i) is used to alleviate the effect of the modulation and code rate on the
uplink physical channel power offset. When Ks=1.25,
TF (i ) 10 log10 ((2 MPR K S 1) offset

PUSCH
) . For details about how to calculate these
parameters, refer to 3GPP TS36.213. When Ks=0, TF (i) 0 . Where, Ks is given

by the parameter deltaMCS-Enable, which is used to make up the uplink physical
channel power offset for adjusting the code rate. It is recommended that Ks is set to
0.
2. The current sub-frame PUSCH power adjustment value is equal to f (i) , which is
updated according to the TPC command. The Accumulation-enabled parameter

(accumulation or absolute type) indicates the adjustment type of closed-loop power
control f (i) . It is provided by the RRM layer and corresponds to puschPCAdjType
(UL Power Control) in the OMC. It is recommended that the Accumulation-enabled

parameter is set to Disabled.
When Accumulation-enabled is set to Enabled, the corresponding closed-loop power

adjustment mode is accumulation, which means that the base station uses a relative
value to instruct the UE to make further adjustment on the basis of the previous transmit
power. f (i) is updated in the following way according to the TPC command: tt
f (i) f (i 1) PUSCH (i K PUSCH )
PUSCH (i K PUSCH ) is a UE-level parameter, which corresponds to PDCCH

TPC in DCI0 and DCI3/3A. The corresponding PDCCH sub-frame is
i K PUSCH . f (0) is the initial accumulated value. For FDD, K PUSCH 4 .
PUSCH (dB) corresponds to TPC in DCI0 and DCI3/3A. Refer to The principle of
absolute power control is to reduce redundant PUSCH transmit power. When some
redundant power is left after the channel quality of the UE is mapped to the
highest-order MCS, reducing the transmit power of the UE should be considered.
To reduce the transmit power of the UE, a TPC command is generated based on

the difference between the target SINR of the UE and the measured SINR of the UE.
In principle, the SINR of the UE should be approximated to the target SINR.
If the UE reaches the maximum transmit power, the positive value of TPC becomes
ineffective.
If the UE reaches the minimum transmit power, the negative value of TPC becomes
ineffective.
The UE should reset the accumulation value in the following scenarios:

The TPC command of absolute power modification value is received.
PO_UE_PUSCH
The signaling is received.
The random access response is received by the UE.
The principle for accumulation closed-loop power control is as follows:
For closed-loop power control, the base station adjusts the closed-loop power
adjustment value ( f (i) ) by sending the TPC command to the UE. The current Power
Spectrum Density (PSD) of the UE is adjusted dynamically based on f (i) for the
purpose of approximating the current PSD of the UE to the target PSD.
The adjustment principles for accumulation closed-loop power control are described as
follows:
1. When the difference between the target PSD and the current PSD of the UE is
greater than 0, the base station sends a positive TPC command to the UE.
2. When the difference between the target PSD and the current PSD of the UE is
smaller than 0, the base station sends a negative TPC command to the UE.
The principle for setting a target PSD is as follows:
The objective of configuring a target PSD is to maintain an optimal uplink system

performance level. The target PSD is calculated based on the target SINR, NI, and uplink
path loss of the UE.

PSDTarget SINRTarget NI PL
The actual PSD of the UE can be calculated as follows:
PSDTX min{PCMAX , PO_PUSCH ( j ) ( j ) PL TF (i) f (i)}
A target SINR is configured based on the average uplink bit rate, UE power efficiency,
inter-cell interference cancellation, and other factors. A too high target SINR increases
the average UE bit rate but causes unnecessary power waste and interference to
adjacent cells. A too low target SINR decreases the average UE bit rate. The objective of
closed-loop power control is to ensure a high SINR and meanwhile reduce interference
to adjacent cells. The initial value of a target SINR is configured based on the downlink
path loss of the UE. The base station can obtain the location information of the UE
through the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) and the PHR. In addition, the
base station can adjust the target SINR dynamically according to the interference to
adjacent cells.
When Accumulation-enabled is set to Disabled (indicating absolute closed-loop power

control), the base station controls the UE transmit power through the absolute value
instruction. f (i) is updated in the following way according to the TPC command:
f (i) PUSCH (i K PUSCH )
PUSCH (i K PUSCH ) is determined by the TPC sent from DCI0 based on the
i K PUSCH .
For FDD, K PUSCH =4 .
PUSCH (dB) corresponds to TPC in DCI0.,Refer to The principle of absolute power
control is to reduce redundant PUSCH transmit power. When some redundant

power is left after the channel quality of the UE is mapped to the highest-order MCS,
reducing the transmit power of the UE should be considered. To reduce the transmit
power of the UE, a TPC command is generated based on the difference between

the target SINR of the UE and the measured SINR of the UE. In principle, the SINR
of the UE should be approximated to the target SINR.
When the DCI0 of the sub-frame is not detected and runs in DRX mode, and no
uplink sub-frame is available for TDD:
f (i ) f (i 1)
The principle of absolute power control is to reduce redundant PUSCH transmit power.
When some redundant power is left after the channel quality of the UE is mapped to the
highest-order MCS, reducing the transmit power of the UE should be considered. To
reduce the transmit power of the UE, a TPC command is generated based on the
difference between the target SINR of the UE and the measured SINR of the UE. In
principle, the SINR of the UE should be approximated to the target SINR.

Closed-loop power control supports adaptive switching between the accumulative mode
and absolute mode. The adaptive scheme determines the TPC mode of a terminal based
on the terminal location, power adjustment value, and measurement precision.
The adjustment principle for closed-loop power control in adaptive mode is: The
corresponding TPC command is generated based on the difference between the actual
PSD and the PSD of the target SINR. The principle for setting a target SINR is to ensure
that the UE uses a low transmit power to reach the target MCS, on the basis of
suppressing interference to adjacent cells caused by unnecessary power waste and
preventing a decrease in the average UE bit rate caused by a too low SINR.

In closed-loop power control based on the OI, cell 1 sends the overload indicator to its
adjacent cell (cell 2) through the X2 interface when some frequency bands are interfered
with severely. Cell 2 receives the OI and adjusts the UE transmit power in cell 2 in
accordance with the OI level. In this way, the interference of these frequency bands in
cell 1 is reduced.
After closed-loop power control is enabled, the adjustment value of the UE-level OI is
generated. The TPC command is then generated based on the OI adjustment value. The
OI adjustment value of the UE is calculated based on the probability of high interference
of in the adjacent cell, the interference level of the adjacent cell received by the local cell,
and the GBR satisfaction of the UE.
3.2.3 PUCCH Open-Loop Power Control
On the UE side, the PUCCH transmit power is calculated as follows:

PPUCCH i min PCMAX , P0_PUCCH PL h nCQI , nHARQ F_PUCCH F g i [dBm]

Where, PO _ PUCCH , h nCQI , nHARQ , and F_PUCCH ( F ) are open-loop power control
parameters and g i is a closed-loop power control parameter.
These parameters are described as follows:
PCMAX represents the maximum transmit power of the UE, which is related to the
UE capability level and the maximum allowable transmit power configured by higher
layers.
PO_PUCCH consists of PO_NOMINAL_ PUCCH and PO_UE_PUCCH , which are configured by
the RRM layer and correspond to poNominalPUCCH (UL Power Control) and
p0UePucchPub (UL Power Control) in the OMC. It is recommended that
PO_NOMINAL_ PUCCH is set to -105 dBm and PO_UE_PUCCH is set to 1 Db.

F_PUCCH ( F ) is configured by higher layers. Each F_PUCCH ( F ) value
corresponding to a PUCCH format is a power offset relative to PUCCH format 1a.

The following power offsets need to be configured in the OMC:
deltaFPucchFormat1 (UL Power Control)
deltaFPucchFormat1b (UL Power Control)
deltaFPucchFormat2 (UL Power Control)
deltaFPucchFormat2a (UL Power Control)
deltaFPucchFormat2b (UL Power Control)
h(nCQI , nHARQ ) is a PUCCH format dependent value. nCQI corresponds to the
number of information bits for the channel quality information. nHARQ is the number
of HARQ-ACK bits .
3.2.4 PUCCH Closed-Loop Power Control
On the UE side, the PUCCH power control equation is defined as below:


Where, PO _ PUCCH , h nCQI , nHARQ , and F_PUCCH ( F ) are open-loop power control
parameters and g i is a closed-loop power control parameters.
These parameters are described as below:
PUCCH is a UE-level power correction parameter, which corresponds to a TPC
command contained in DCI1A/1B/1D/1/2A/2/3. CRC corresponds to C-RNTI or
TPC-PUCCH-RNTI. For the mapping relationship between PUCCH and
DCI1A/1B/1D/1/2A/2/3, refer to It should be noted that a target Ps is not a value but

a scale, in order to avoid fluctuation in the transmit power of the PUCCH. To

determine the scale of a target Ps, the inter-symbol interference of the PRB and the
interference of adjacent cells should be considered. It is inappropriate to blindly
increase the transmit power to reduce the DTX of the PUCCH. The DTX of the
PUCCH is not only related to the power control of the PUCCH, but also related to
downlink performance. Blindly increasing the transmit power will increase the power
between UEs. Therefore, the configuration principle is to set a target Ps to a tradeoff
value on the premise of ensuring demodulation performance.
Table 3-2 Mapping of TPC Command Field in DCI format 1A/1/2A/2/3 to PUCCH

When the TPC command is successfully transmitted, g(i) is updated based on the
TPC command.
M 1
g (i ) g (i 1) PUCCH (i km )
m0
Where, g (i) is the transmit power adjustment value of the current frame on the
PUCCH.
For FDD, M 1 and k0 4 .
If the UE reaches the maximum transmit power, the positive TPC becomes
ineffective.
If the UE reaches the minimum transmit power, the negative TPC becomes
ineffective.

g(i) is a UE-level power correction parameter for closed-loop power control. The code
division technology is used for data transmission on the PUCCH. Multiple UEs use the
same RB for data transmission on the PUCCH. For format1 series, the number of UEs
that are multiplexed on the same RB is variable, and therefore the interference received
by the PRB and the PUCCH quality will change considerably. The PUCCH uses the
received power (Ps) for the purposes of power control and cell-edge coverage.
The idea behind the closed-loop power control of the PUCCH is as below: The base
station maintains the target Ps and measures the current Ps. Depending on the
difference between the measured Ps and the target Ps, the base station generates a
TPC command, which is sent in DCI 1A/1/2A/2/3. The UE adjusts the transmit power of
the PUCCH according to the TPC command to ensure that the Ps of the UE can quickly
approximate to the target Ps. The adjustment principles are described as follows:
When the difference between the target Ps and the measured Ps is greater than 0,
the base station sends a positive TPC command to the UE.
When the difference between the target Ps and the measured Ps is smaller than 0,
the base station sends a negative TPC command to the UE.
It should be noted that a target Ps is not a value but a scale, in order to avoid fluctuation in
the transmit power of the PUCCH. To determine the scale of a target Ps, the inter-symbol
interference of the PRB and the interference of adjacent cells should be considered. It is
inappropriate to blindly increase the transmit power to reduce the DTX of the PUCCH. The
DTX of the PUCCH is not only related to the power control of the PUCCH, but also related to
downlink performance. Blindly increasing the transmit power will increase the power between
UEs. Therefore, the configuration principle is to set a target Ps to a tradeoff value on the
premise of ensuring demodulation performance.
3.2.5 SRS Power Control
The power ( PSRS ) for the UE to send a sounding reference signal on sub-frame i is
defined as follows:
PSRS (i ) min{PCMAX , PSRS _ OFFSET 10log10 ( M SRS ) PO _ PUSCH ( j ) ( j ) PL f (i)}[ dBm]

PCMAX represents the maximum transmit power of the UE.
PSRS_OFFSET is a UE-level semi-static parameter configured by higher layers. It is
used to improve the accuracy for estimating the channel quality of the UE. This
parameter corresponds to powerOffsetOfSRS (UL Power Control) in the OMC. The
recommended value is -3 dB.
M SRS represents the number of resource blocks in the SRS transmission

bandwidth on sub-frame i.
f (i ) represents the current PUSCH power control adjustment value.
For details about PO_PUSCH ( j ) and ( j ) , refer to section 4.1 ( j 1).
3.2.6 PRACH Open-Loop Power Control
On the UE side, the transmit power of the PRACH is defined as follows:
PPRACH minPCMAXPL PO_PRE PREAMBLE_Msg 3 Prampup dBm
PO_PRE represents the initial target received power for random access. It is an
open-loop power control parameter, which corresponds to

preambleIniReceivedPower (PRACH) in the OMC.
PREAMBLE _ Msg 3 is a power offset parameter of Msg3 as compared with that of
random access.
Prampup is calculated based on the preamble power ramp-up step and the number
of random transmission attempts. It is equal to the total power ramp-up from the first
preamble to the last preamble.
Prampup ( N PRE 1) * dPrampup

N PRE represents the number of preamble transmission attempts of the UE.
dPrampup
represents the power ramp-up step configured by higher layers, which
corresponds to powerRampingStep (PRACH) in the OMC. The recommended value
is 2 dB.
messagePowerOffsetGroupB represents redundant power, which can be

configured in the OMC, is related to the cell, and corresponds to
messagePowerOffsetGroupB (PRACH) in the OMC. The recommended value is 8
dB.

3.2.7 Configuring the Transmit Power of a Downlink Physical Channel,

Signal, or Logical Channel
For the downlink power configuration, the maximum transmit power is configured based
on the transmission capability of the base station and the actual transmit power is
configured based on the cell coverage requirements. The transmit power of a downlink
physical channel, signal, or logical channel is represented by RE. The cell reference
signal power is absolute power, which is configured to ensure the cell coverage and the

minimum power. The transmit power of a downlink physical channel, signal, or logical
channel is based on the transmit power of the cell reference signal. The power
compensation of a downlink physical channel, signal, or logical channel is configured in
the OMC and related to the cell reference signal.
3.2.8 Downlink Physical Channel, Signal, or Power Offset
The transmit power of a downlink physical channel (such as PBCH, PDCCH, PCFICH,
and PHICH), primary synchronization signal, or secondary synchronization signal is
determined by the cell reference signal and power offset.
The power offset of the PDCCH is represented by multiple one-dimensional data. Each
element is related to PDCCH format 0/1/2/3.
3.2.9 Power Offset of a Downlink Logical Channel
Multiple logical channels are mapped to the PDSCH, and therefore these logical
channels need to be configured with different power offset values based on the cell
reference signal. For example, the DTCH is configured with the PA based on the UE
services. In addition, Msg2 is carried by the PDSCH, and therefore the corresponding PA
must be configured. The corresponding OMC parameters include paForBCCH (DL
Power Control), paForCCCH (DL Power Control), paForPCCH (DL Power Control),
paForMSG2 (DL Power Control), paForDCCH (DL Power Control), and paForDTCH (DL
Power Control).

Compare the PUSCH power calculated by using the formula with the parameter in the
log on the UE side, and determine whether the transmit power is normal. For DCI
transmitting in subframe n, the transmit time of PUSCH is n+4 subframe, see Figure 5-6.
Figure 5-6 PUSCH Transmit Power Observed on the UE Side
The following is an example of the calculation:
The UE receives the DCI0 message at system-frame 237, subframe 4, with 30 RBs.
Calculate the PUSCH power based on the following formula:

=
min {23, 10log1030 + (-80+1) + 0.8 * 82} = 1.37
The UE sends PUSCH four subframes after receiving DCI0. Therefore, check the
PUSCH power at frame 237, subframe 8. The actual transmit power is 2, which meets
the calculation result.
Note: The protocol specifies a redundancy of +/- 2dBm between the actual PUSCH
transmit power and the theoretically calculated value.

Test result Passed
5.2.3 Test Result
For parameters related to the PUSCH power, refer to Section 5.1.3 Test Result.
The following are closed-loop PUSCH parameters:
TF (i) compensates the effects of modulation and code rates on the power offset value
of the uplink physical channel. When Ks = 1.25, TF (i ) 10 log10 ((2 MPR K S 1) offset
PUSCH
) . For
how to calculated the parameters, refer to the TS36.213 protocol. When Ks = 0,

TF (i ) 0 . Ks is obtained from the deltaMCS-Enable parameter, and is used to
compensate the effects of code rate adjustment on the uplink physical channel. As
shown in Figure 5-4, Ks = 0, and the type of the closed-loop power adjustment is the
absolute type.
Therefore, f(i)= PUSCH (i K PUSCH ) . For FDD, K PUSCH 4 .
The value unit of PUSCH is dB. The value is related to the TPC values in DCI0 and
DCI3/3A. For details, refer to Section 3.2.2 PUSCH Closed-Loop Power Control. When
TPC = 1 in DCI0, PUSCH is 0.

After closed-loop power control is enabled, the received DCI0 message is shown in
Figure 5-7.
