2 Overview
When dynamic power sharing is used, the sum of the maximum available power of all
carriers is larger than the maximum PA output power. The power congestion control
algorithm is to guarantee that the sum of the output power of all the seized channel‟ in a
timeslot does exceed the actual maximum PA output power.
automatically in order to prevent the total output power from exceeding the actual
maximum PA output power.
1. Handover. The seized channel that occupies the maximum output power is handed
over to another idle channel in intra-cell or inter-cell, so as to relieve the power
congestion.
2. Power control algorithm adjustment. The operation of power increase for downlink
power control is frozen. When power congestion is released, the operation is
continued.
3. Reduce power used by packet data users. The power of packet data users is
reduced to satisfy the voice service users preferentially.
The priority of those three power congestion control algorithms is configured by the user.
When the power congestion occurs, the system executes the power congestion control
algorithm according to the configured priority.

The dynamic power sharing feature is jointly performed by the SDR BTS, BSC, OMCR
and OMCB in a ZXG10 BSS system. According to the current feature assignment, their
relation in the dynamic power sharing feature is described below.
In a ZXG10 BSS system, the CS service dynamic power control feature is performed on
BTS (SDR). Therefore the actual power control to each physical carrier frequency by the
dynamic power control feature is also performed on the SDR BTS.
The OMCB configures the power for every physical carrier frequency on an RRU. It also
adjusts the static power grade so that the operator can reduce the power of a base
station to reduce its signal coverage.
This feature requests that the power configuration for each carrier frequency is
performed by the power sharing level (carrier frequency static power level) of OMCR.
The bench of this power sharing level is the average carrier frequency power in the
OMCB configuration plus the static carrier frequency power level in the OMCB
configuration. The increment is 0.5dB and the total increased volume is up to 3dB. After
OMCR synchronizes the power sharing level of each carrier frequency to the BSC, the
BSC notifies the SDR BTS through the interface for carrier frequency attribute settings.
The power configured for each carrier frequency may be larger than the average value. It
is possible that an RRU has a time slot with idle carrier frequency, but its power has been
almost fully occupied by the active services. In this case, if a new service requests for
access, it should not be accepted by that time slot. The BTS has the dynamic power
control feature. If the UE is far from the base station, the base station might increase the
transmitted power to the UE. In this way, the power occupied by this service may
approach the total power available in RRU. Now it is necessary to handover a CS service
to another cell or notify the base station to reduce the PS service power. The feature of
reducing PS power is not yet realized. The BSC controls the channel assignment and the
service handover operation. Therefore the admission judgment and the congestion
judgment of power sharing are performed by the BSC.
For the BSC to perform the acceptance judgment and congestion judgment, the SDR
needs to report the following information to the BSC: The total power of RRU, the power
of each carrier frequency, the power control result of the channels in operation, and the
relation between the TRX and the RRU. The following items should be configured on
OMCR: the power margin reserved for the active service, the initial access power, the
admission control threshold, and the congestion control threshold.
For the ZXG10 BSS system-level data flow, see the following figure.
The dynamic power sharing feature frequently uses the following terms. The relation
among them is described below:
1. The power control result: The SDR carries on the downlink dynamic power control
to the SDCCH channel or the TCH channel. If the power of this channel has any
change, it reports to the BSC the “Power Control Instruction” message. This
message has the dB fading value of the current power of this channel to the
maximum power a carrier frequency.
2. The dynamic power control increment: It is the increment by which the SDR adjusts
the downlink dynamic power of the SDCCH channel or the TCH channel.
4. The static carrier frequency power configuration on the OMCB: the OMCB can
assign a static power level for each RRU. It is usually a power fading performed by
the operator to adjust the coverage area of a base station.
5. The static power of carrier frequency: It is the OMCB carrier frequency power plus
the OMCB static power level.
6. The OMCR configuration of the static power level: It is used in the power sharing
feature. It assigns the dB value of each service carrier frequency exceeding the
average carrier frequency static power configured by the OMCB.
After the power sharing feature is activated, the power is shared in a timeslot of one RRU.
When the SDR adjusts the power control, it sends the power control indication to the
iBSC. When the iBSC detects that the occupied power of one RRU‟s timeslot has turned
from not congested to congested (power occupied >= power congestion control
threshold), it sets a power admission threshold punishment time „PwrAdmitPunishTime‟
for the timeslot, indicating that the timeslot‟s power admitting threshold punishment
„PwrAdmitThrldPunish‟ is reduced by 1%, and perform congestion control measures. The
iBSC checks the SDR version. If the iBSC detects that the SDR supports power freeze, it
sends the SDR a POWER FREEZE COMMAND message that carries information about
the timeslot to be frozen and related TRXs. The iBSC informs the SDR to freeze power
and checks the optional power congestion control algorithms. Currently there are two
algorithms, handover CS users or reduce the PS channel power. If the former one is not
executable, execute the latter one. If the congestion is not relieved after the time
specified by „CHANNELPWRADJITVL‟ expires and these algorithms are executed,
execute the algorithms again.
How to reduce PS channel power: The DBS of the BSC searches the timeslots of the
congested RRU to determine whether there are any PDTCH in which the power can be
reduced. If yes, the channel of higher power and less Link Selector Parameter (LSP) is
selected. If the power to be reduced is much higher, the power to be reduced is allocated
to multiple PDTCHs since each channel can be reduced by 2 dB at a time. If the PS
channels in which the power is to be reduced cannot be found, the BSC checks whether
there exists a method of lower priority to handle the congestion. If yes, the method of
lower priority to process the congestion (that is, how to handover the CS users out) is
executed.
How to handover the CS users out: the CS users who occupy the most power are
handed over. For HR sub-channels, two users are handed over from the timeslots. For
VAMOSA sub-channels, all the users on the VAMOSA sub-channels are handed over.
The users who are handed over can try intra-cell handover first. If channel allocation in
the cell fails, the users can try to handover to other cells. If the users fail to handover or
fail to find any CS service to handover to, the system checks whether there is a method
of lower priority to process the congestion. If yes, the method of lower priority to process
the congestion (that is, how to reduce the PS channel power) is executed.
During the process mentioned above, if the PDTCH power reduction is not configured or
the congestion cannot be handled through the PDTCH power reduction, the CS users
are directly released if they fail to be handed over.
When the BSC detects that the power utilized by a timeslot of one RRU is lower than the
congestion control threshold other than the previous congestion status, and the period
since the congestion has exceeded the delay set by PwrCongDelay, the power
congestion unfreezes. A „POWER UNFREEZE COMMAND‟ message will be sent to the
SDR, allowing the power increase.
Check whether the PS channel power is reduced. If the power after the increasing still
meets the power access control threshold, increase the power again. If not, increase the
power after the power control indication message from the SDR is received and the
conditions are met.
