2. IEEE C80216m-08/630 2 Motivations UL data transmission is constraint by interference level. Power control is the most important way to reduce interference. 16m has to introduce efficient power control method to satisfy SRD (IEEE 802.16m-08/002r4)

3. IEEE C80216m-08/630 3 Classic uplink power control The overall target of uplink power control is to optimize MS transmit power according to the following criteria: Maximize throughput Limit interference (increase throughput for other MS’s) Maximize battery lifetime it is important to study the interaction of different MS’s power controls. The classical solution is to focus on the MS’s own throughput as optimization criteria. In this case the MS should transmit with maximum power except when its SINR is beyond the required SINR for the max MCS (no need to waste power when it can not buy any throughput). As the SINR depends on the interference level and path loss to serving base station these will be the two variables determining the MS transmit power. P = SINR_Target + L + N + IoT Where P is MS transmit power in dBm per sub-carrier, L is path loss to serving sectorin dB, N is thermal noise in dBm and IoT interference rise over thermal noise in dB.

4. IEEE C80216m-08/630 4 Fractional path loss compensation power control In network scenarios with high site density, the uplink sector throughput will be limited by the rise of interference not by the MS transmit power. To limit MS transmit power it was suggested to only compensate for a fraction of the path loss (fractional power control in LTE). Adding this feature a number of MS’s with intermediate path loss will not get sufficient transmit power. TxPower [dBm] Path loss [dB] Full path loss compensation Fractional path loss compensation This will reduce the interference and extend the battery life. And as shown else where it can even improve the throughput for MS’s on the cell edge. Another way of viewing this algorithm is classic pc with path loss dependent SINR target. (MS with large pathgain has lower target SINR) Minimum path loss P = SINR_Target + αL + N + IoT SINR target + N +IoT Maximum transmit power

5. IEEE C80216m-08/630 5 Interference constraint power control (ICPC) In previous slides we showed that power control should target interference level rather than SINR. (adjusting interference to other sector rather than own throughput) The following formula should then be used: P = NRT + N - g Where P is the new transmit power in dBm, g is the equivalent path gain to all other BSs in dB, N thermal noise and NRT the noise raise target in dB. Equivalent path gain (g) = received power – received signal power. –Received power includes radio power from all sectors, while received signal power only includes power from serving sector. To enable adjustment of the user throughput distribution in a cell, the noise rise target could be varied for different bit rates. In that way users with low bit rate would be allowed to target for a higher interference.

8. IEEE C80216m-08/630 8 Proposed Text to be included in SDD Insert the following text into section 11. 11.x Open Loop Power Control –BS should indicates every MS how much interference it is allowed to generate to other sectors. (NRT) –MS shall estimate an equivalent pathgain to all other sectors. –MS should adjust its Tx power according to NRT and equivalent pathloss. P = NRT + N – g + BS offset –Where NRT is interference level indicated by BS, N is the noise power, g is the equivalent pathgain, BS offset is indicated by BS for some special reason for power adjusting.
