3.4 Radio Resource Management
BTS radio resource management functions meet the requirements of TIA/EIA IS-97-D
protocol.
3.4.1 Power Control
CDMA system is a self-interferenc system, in which every subscriber is an
interference source to other subscribers. If it is possible to ensure that every MS
transmits the minimum power it needs, the whole system capacity can be the largest.
Therefore, power control directly affects the system capacity and the service quality.
I. Purpose
Power control is to
l
Ensure conversation quality, meanwhile restrict the transmitting power on the
forward and reverse links, thus minimizing the system interference.
l
Overcome the far-near effect caused by the freely distributed mobile stations, so
the signals of mobile stations whose distances to the BTS are different can reach
the BTS with the same power.
l
Realize the system soft capacity control.
l
Prolong MS battery life.
l
Minimize MS radiation to the human body.
II. Types
Power control can be divided into forward power control and reverse power control.
The forward power control is used to control BTS’s transmit power, while the reverse
power control aims to control MS’s transmit power.
1)
Forward power control
Forward power control can be implemented with various methods, whose applications
are subject to the MS protocol version and the system parameters.
l
Power control based on Power Measurement Report Message (PMRM)
In PMRM-based power control, the MS determines the method and frequency of
reporting PMRM in accordance with the received control message in the system
parameter message.
l
Power control based on Erasure Indicator Bit (EIB)
In EIB power control, the MS detects the forward frame quality, and feeds back the
information to the BTS via EIB. The BTS will adjust the transmit power according to
EIB information.
l
Quick forward power control
