GSM Dynamic Power S haring 2 Overview

2 Overview
Dynamic Power Sharing maximizes cell coverage to meet the different power requirements of users
distributed in different areas of a cell.

The downlink power required by an MS for accessing a wireless network varies according to the
distance between the antenna and the MS. To adapt to dynamic changes in the distances from the
antenna to MSs in a wireless cell, power sharing among carriers of a timeslot enables some of the
carriers to have higher power than the average static power, and therefore increases wireless coverage
without increasing the power of the power amplifier. Dynamic Power Sharing is performed to allocate
timeslots to calls. The power of each timeslot is shared by carriers in a timeslot. By doing this, signals
that are transmitted to the MSs far away from the antenna have sufficient power and carriers can obtain
relatively higher power than average available power. For details about the rules for allocating timeslots,
see chapter 3 Technical Description.

3 Technical Description
Dynamic Power Sharing is activated when QTRUPWRSHARE is set to DYNAMIC. Figure 3-1 shows the
process of Dynamic Power Sharing.

Figure 3-1 Process of Dynamic Power Sharing

Call Access Phase

The BSC allocates an initial channel to a call according to the power required by the call and the
remaining power on a timeslot occupied by an idle channel.

Call Stable Phase

When a call enters the stable phase, the BSC monitors timeslot power every 0.5 second. Based on the
monitoring results, the BSC determines whether to perform:
 Handover due to downlink power insufficiency
When the current total power of a timeslot exceeds the maximum allowed transmit power of the
timeslot, a call is handed over to another timeslot to avoid damage to power amplifiers.
 Handover preventing a high-level uplink signal from overwhelming a low-level uplink signal
When a timeslot is allocated to two calls that have a large difference in uplink signal strength, the call
with a higher-level uplink signal is handed over to another timeslot to prevent affecting the call with a
lower-level uplink signal.
 Peak clipping on activated channels
The total transmit power required by all calls in a timeslot may exceed the maximum power supported
by the power amplifier. When this occurs, peak clipping is performed on activated channels to avoid
damage to radio frequency (RF) devices.

GSM Dynamic Power S haring 3 Technic al Description

3.1 Initial Channel Allocation

During a call setup, the BSC allocates a proper channel according to the power required by the call.
1. Based on the value of CHPWRINSUFFALLOWED, the BSC determines whether to allocate an idle
channel in a timeslot with insufficient remaining power to a newly initiated call.
 When CHPWRINSUFFALLOWED is set to NO, the BSC will not allocate an idle channel in a timeslot
with insufficient remaining power to a newly initiated call.
A timeslot is considered to have insufficient remaining power for a newly initiated call when the timeslot
meets the following condition:

(Power required by the newly initiated call + Power required by all set up calls in the timeslot ) >
(Maximum output power of the power amplifier + TSPWRRESERVE)
 When CHPWRINSUFFALLOWED is set to YES, an idle channel in a timeslot with insufficient
remaining power is allocated to a newly initiated call.
2. The BSC determines the priorities of idle channels based on the power required by the call and the
remaining power on the timeslots occupied by the idle channels. Then, it allocates an idle channel
with the highest priority to a newly initiated call.
 When MCPAOPTALG is set to OFF, the BSC determines the priorities of idle channels based on the
remaining power of its timeslot.
 When MCPAOPTALG is set to ON, the BSC determines the priorities of idle channels based on the
number of idle channels in the timeslot and the remaining power of the timeslot.
− When there is only one idle channel in a timeslot, the priority of the idle channel is negatively related
to the absolute value of the difference between the remaining power of the timeslot and the power
required by the newly initiated call.
− When there is more than one idle channel in a timeslot, the priorities of the idle channels are
positively related to the remaining power of the timeslot.

3.2 Handover Triggered by Insufficient Downlink Power

The BSC measures the total power of each timeslot every 0.5 second. If a timeslot has total power
insufficiency for longer than a duration specified by QTRUDNPWRLASTTIME in the time specified by
QTRUDNPWRSTATTIME, higher-power calls are handed over to another timeslot. The handover is
preferentially performed within the same cell. If no timeslot in the cell meets the handover conditions, an
inter-cell handover is performed.

Handover Triggering Conditions

A handover is performed when the following conditions are met:
 The total power of the timeslot is insufficient. That is, Total power of the timeslot > Maximum output
power of the power amplifier + OUTHOPWROVERLOADTHRESHOLD
 The P/N criterion is met. That is, the total power insufficiency of the timeslot lasts for a duration
specified by QTRUDNPWRLASTTIME in the time specified by QTRUDNPWRSTATTIME.

Call-Specific Conditions for a Handover

 The channel originally allocated to the call is not on a BCCH carrier.
 A full-rate call is preferentially handed over.
 A handover is preferentially performed for the call with the highest downlink power requirement among
all calls allocated non-BCCH-carrier channels.

GSM Dynamic Power S haring 3 Technic al Description

Target Cell Selection

 The target channel of an intra-cell handover must meet the following requirement:
Power required by all activated channels in the same timeslot of the target channel + Power required
by the call to be handed over ≤ Maximum output power of the power amplifier +
INHOPWROVERLOADT HRESHOLD
 The target cell of an inter-cell handover must meet the following requirement:
Signal strength of the target cell – Signal strength of the serving cell > INTERCELLHYST -
BQMARGIN

3.3 Handover Preventing a High-Level Uplink Signal from

Overwhelming a Low-Level Uplink Signal
If the uplink signal level difference between two calls exceeds 90 dB and the two calls occupy two
channels in the same timeslot, the lower-level uplink signal will be overwhelmed by the higher-level
signal. When this occurs, the quality of the call with the lower-level uplink signal will deteriorate and a call
drop may occur. Therefore, calls with greatly different uplink signal levels must not be allocated to the
same timeslot.

When QTRUCHANMANGSWITCH is set to YES, the BSC measures the difference between uplink
signal levels every 0.5 second. If the highest uplink signal level of a timeslot is 90 dB higher than the
uplink signal level reported by the current channel, the situation is recorded. If this situation lasts for a
duration specified by UPRXLEVLASTTIME in the time specified by UPRXLEVSTATICTIME,
higher-level calls are handed over to another timeslot.

3.4 Peak Clipping on Activated Channels

To ensure that a power amplifier functions properly, the BTS performs peak clipping to reduce the
transmit power of all calls on a timeslot when the total power of all calls on this timeslot exceeds the
maximum output power of the power amplifier.

Dynamic Power Sharing reduces the impact of peak clipping on call quality by properly allocating
channels.
When the total downlink power required by all activated channels in a timeslot exceed s the total power of
a power amplifier, peak clipping is required for activated channels to avoid damage to RF devices. With
peak clipping, some power of the activated channels is allocated to new calls. This ensures successful
access of new calls and prevents overload of a timeslot (or instantaneous overload is allowed) while
limiting the decrease in network quality.

GSM Dynamic Power S haring 4 Engineering Guidelines

4 Engineering Guidelines
4.1 Major Factors Affecting Dynamic Power Sharing
In a network with multiple carriers, the performance of the Dynamic Power Sharing feature is associated
with the following factors:
 Traffic distribution
Traffic must be evenly distributed among timeslots.
 Traffic over each channel
The gain obtained by Dynamic Power Sharing is negatively related to the traffic over each channel.
 Distance between sites
The gain obtained by Dynamic Power Sharing is negatively related to the distance between sites.
 Frequency reuse mode
The gain brought by Dynamic Power Sharing is negatively related to the mode of frequency reuse.
 Percentage of SDCCHs and PDCHs
The number of SDCCHs and PDCHs configured for a cell must be less than 30% of the total number
of channels of the cell. It is recommended that static PDCHs be configured on BCCH carriers.
 Power control algorithm and discontinuous transmission (DTX)
If power control parameters are not set properly, there will be a high percentage of high signal levels.
When this occurs, network quality will not be improved even when Dynamic Power Sharing is enabled
and the number of peak clipping attempts is minimized. Therefore, before enabling Dynamic Power
Sharing, set downlink power control parameters to appropriate values and enable the DTX function.
 Dynamic Power Sharing gain coefficient
The Dynamic Power Sharing gain coefficient is the quotient resulting from division of dynamic power
by static power. The power sharing gain coefficient indicates the gain obtained by dynamically sharing
power. For example, the static power of the antenna port on top of the base station using four-carrier
GRFUs is 20 W. After QTRUPWRSHARE is set to Dynamic, the dynamic power reaches 27 W. In this
example, a 7 W gain is obtained.

4.2 Suggestions for Enabling the Dynamic Power Sharing

Feature
 When the sites or cells in the swapped network do not meet the requirements in Table 4-1, network
KPIs will be affected by Dynamic Power Sharing. When this occurs, configure static power.
 When the sites or cells in the swapped network meet the requirements in Table 4-1, and the static
power does not meet the power requirement of the original network, enable Dynamic Power Sharing.
 If the static power achieved after swap is higher than the pre-swap power, it is recommended that the
static power be adjusted to match the pre-swap power.

Method of Calculating FR LOAD

In 1x3 frequency reuse mode, the frequency resource load (FR LOAD) of the network is the ratio of the
number of TRXs to the number of frequencies available for frequency hopping. In other frequency reuse
modes, FR LOAD is calculated as an equivalent of FR LOAD of the 1x3 frequency reuse mode. The
method of calculating FR LOAD is as follows:

Step 1 Obtain the principle for frequency planning and calculate the total number of available
frequencies.
BCCHs usually adopt frequency reuse at a low degree, while TCHs usually adopt frequency
reuse at a high degree. Therefore, only TCHs need to be counted, which means that the number
of frequencies on the BCCHs should be deducted from the total number of available frequencies.
Step 2 Calculate the number of TRXs in each cell based on the network engineering parameters , and
obtain the number of BCCH frequencies, which is to be deducted from the total number of
available frequencies.
The following formula is used to calculate FR LOAD for a cell: FR LOAD = (TRXs -1)/(Number of
available TCH frequencies/3)
For example:

In a network that uses baseband frequency hopping and 94 frequencies of P-GSM 19 MHz, the BCCH
adopts the 6x3 frequency reuse mode with two protective frequencies. No frequency is reserved for
indoor coverage.

In this network, a cell uses seven TRXs. Therefore, FR LOAD of the cell is (7 – 1)/{[94 – (6 x 3 + 2)/3]} =
24.3%.

Method of Calculating the Distance Between Sites

Calculate the distance between a site and its nearest neighboring site based on their longitudes and
latitudes.
The detailed calculation method is as follows:
Assuming that the longitudes and latitudes of two sites are: (Lon1, Lat1) and (Lon2, Lat2), and

Issue 01 (2011-03-31) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 4-2

x = (Lon2 - Lon1)* Π* R * Cos(((Lat1 + Lat2) / 2) *Π/ 180) / 180

y = (Lat2 - Lat1) *Π* R / 180

 x  y / 1000
2 2
Distance
Then, the distance between the sites is:
Where, R = 6.371229 x 1000000 (radius of the globe) and Π = 3.14159265.

Method of Calculating the Traffic over Each Channel of a Cell

Traffic over each channel of a cell = TCH traffic/Number of available TCHs

This formula is used to calculate the traffic of each channel of a Huawei GSM cell. The TCH traffic and
number of available TCHs in the formula can be extracted from BSC traffic statistics. Other formulas
should be used if you want to calculate the traffic of each channel for cells of other vendors.

4.3 Configuration Requirements

The configuration requirements are as follows:
 Same frequency band and same cell
All functioning TRXs of a multi-transceiver unit must work on the same frequency band and be
configured in the same cell. If the TRXs are configured in a concentric cell, they must all be configured
in the underlaid or overlaid subcell.
 Downlink power control and DTX
Downlink power control must be enabled to ensure power sharing among timeslots when the Dynamic
Power Sharing feature is activated.
 PS channel allocation
If the remaining power of the timeslot of a channel is lower than the maximum transmit power of the
TRX, the channel cannot be converted into a PDCH.
 Restriction on cell configuration
To avoid cell congestion and enhance network performance after Dynamic Power Sharing is enabled,
CHPWRINSUFFALLOWED must be set to YES. The recommended value of CIRESTVALUE is 10
dB.
 TRX configuration
The percentage of SDCCHs and PDCHs must be less than or equal to 30% of the total number of
channels. It is recommended that static PDCCHs be configured on BCCH carriers, and only one
SDCCH be configured on each timeslot.

After Dynamic Power Sharing is activated, take note of major KPIs such as call drop rate, handover
success rate, assignment success rate, and congestion rate.
 Assignment and accessibility: If the congestion rate increases after Dynamic Power Sharing is
enabled, check the counters Number of Times Power OverLoad and Number of TCH Allocation
Failures (Power Deficit). If the two counters are excessively large, the increase in the congestion rate
is caused by the increase in assignment failures due to power insufficiency. In this case, set
CHPWRINSUFFALLOWED to YES.
 Peak clipping: If Number of MRs on Downlink TCH (Mean Receive Quality Rank 6) and Number of
MRs on Downlink TCH (Mean Receive Quality Rank 7) increase notably after Dynamic Power
Sharing, check the number of peak clipping times. The actual number of peak clipping times equals
the number of timeslots for which peak clipping of 0.5/1.0/1.5/2.0/2.5/3.0 dB or a higher degree is
performed. The number of peak clipping times is a true indication of the actual power sharing effect. If
the number of peak clipping times increases, check whether channel configuration and power control
parameters have been adjusted, and continue to observe handover counters related to power
insufficiency.
 Handovers caused by power insufficiency: This type of handover involves the number of handovers
due to power insufficiency and the success rate of such handovers. If excessive handovers due to
power insufficiency are performed and the handover success rate is low, the overall handover success
rate may decrease. In this case, decrease the value of OUTHOPWROVERLOADT HRESHOLD and
increase the value of INHOPWROVERLOADTHRESHOLD. If few handovers are performed due to
power insufficiency, peak clipping may be triggered for too many times. In this case, increase the value
of OUTHOPWROVERLOADT HRESHOLD and decrease the value of
INHOPWROVERLOADT HRESHOLD.
