Definitions
- the present invention relates to wireless networks and, more particularly, to power control of a downlink shared channel in the context of downlink transmit diversity.
- Universal Mobile Telecommunications System is to be the third generation mobile system, which is to offer higher data rates and a wide range of telecommunications services, including support for multimedia. UMTS will provide high-quality services with efficient use of network resources. UMTS is to be based on the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) with some major modifications, e.g., a new radio interface. The UMTS network is to support both circuit-switched and packet-switched services. The circuit-switched technology will be based on the current GSM circuit-switched technology and the packet-switched technology on the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), which is a new packet service for GSM.
- GSM Global System for Mobile communications
- GPRS General Packet Radio Service
- the architecture of UMTS is thus to be based on GSM/GPRS.
- the access network part of UMTS will be new and revolutionary compared to
- the UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) Network will be the new radio interface, which will be able to operate in two different modes: Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) and Time Division/Code Division Multiple Access (TD/CDMA).
- WCDMA Wideband Code Division Multiple Access
- TD/CDMA Time Division/Code Division Multiple Access
- UTRAN will have the ability to support multiple simultaneous connections for one user, i.e., simultaneous packet- and circuit-switched connections, and every connection can have individual properties, e.g., QoS (quality-of-service) parameters.
- QoS quality-of-service
- UTRAN can also guarantee throughput for a packet-switched connection. This property is vital for some multimedia applications.
- the radio part of the system will remain the most susceptible to bottlenecks. As always, the design objective is an efficient use of limited resources without compromising versatility.
- the UMTS packet network architecture will be highly similar to GPRS. However, the naming of some elements and interfaces has been changed from
- Figure 1 shows the GPRS network architecture
- Figure 2 shows the UMTS packet network architecture.
- the UMTS packet network consists of the following network elements:
- 3G-SGSN it will be the third generation version of the serving GPRS support node (SGSN).
- 3G-GGSN it will be the third generation version of the gateway GPRS support node (GGSN).
- HLR GSM home location register
- BTS base transceiver station
- RNC Radio Network Controller: it will correspond to base station controller (BSC) in GSM.
- BSC base station controller
- the core network (CN) part of the packet- switched side will consist of 3G- SGSN, 3G-GGSN and HLR elements.
- the packet core network will include also the backbone network for connecting core network elements 3G-SGSN and 3G- GGSN together.
- Node B and RNC will comprise the radio access network (RAN) part of the UMTS network.
- RAN will correspond to GSM's BSS (Base Station Subsystem).
- BSS Base Station Subsystem
- the responsibility of RAN is the handling of all radio-specific functions, e.g., radio channel ciphering, power control, radio bearer connection setup and release.
- the basic separation between elements will be that Node B will handle the physical layer functions, and RNC will handle the management functions. However, the separation might be slightly different than in GSM. As can be seen by comparing Figs. 1 and 2, the biggest architectural difference will be the new interface (Iur) inside RAN. It will reside between RNCs.
- UMTS introduces a new concept called macrodiversity.
- Node Bs In a macrodiversity situation, data will be sent via multiple Node Bs. Because signals will transferred via multiple routes over the air interface and combined in the MS and RNC, e.g., the fading effect will be less harmful, and thus lower power levels can be used. However, those Node Bs may belong to the area of two or more different RNCs, so the interface, i.e., Iur-interface between RNCs is required.
- the RNC can be in two logical roles, the RNC can be logically either a “drift” RNC (DRNC) or a “serving” (SRNC).
- DRNC drift RNC
- SRNC serving RNC
- the actual termination point of the Iu-interface will be SRNC, as shown for both logical possibilities in Fig. 3.
- the Iu-interface will connect the radio access network (RAN) and core network (CN), whether it be packet- or circuit-switched.
- RAN radio access network
- CN core network
- SRNC will control information transfer and request radio resources from appropriate DRNCs.
- the DRNC will only relay information between the MS and SRNC, which is depicted in Fig. 3.
- UTRAN When there exists a dedicated connection to the user equipment, the UTRAN will handle the radio interface mobility of the UE. This includes procedures such as soft handover.
- the user equipment should be in a position to measure the magnitude of at least one parameter of the plural radio links simultaneously established between the user equipment and more than one of the plurality of base stations in order to periodically decide which one of the more than one of the plural radio links is currently preferred for use in the communications session between the user equipment and an end terminal connected to the system.
- a soft handover is a category of handover procedures where the radio links are added and abandoned in such a manner that the user equipment (UE) always keeps at least one radio link to the UTRAN.
- UE user equipment
- FIG. 4 several Node B base stations (BSl, BS2, BS3) are illustrated in several corresponding cells.
- a user equipment in the form of a mobile station (MS) is shown moving from one cell to another.
- the received signal strength from base station 1 at the mobile station decreases, while the received signal strength from base station 2 (BS2) increases.
- BS2 base station 2
- This is particularly noteworthy in a region of base station diversity shown as a distance window, with the signal strengths from base station 1 and base station 2 crossing over inside the window.
- a soft handover can be effected, whereby the mobile station always keeps at least one radio link to the UTRAN effective.
- a This is distinguished from a hard handover, which would be a handover between different frequencies or between WCDMA and GSM (or a switch from FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) to TDD (Time Division Duplex) within UMTS). It will be important for WCDMA power control to ensure that each user equipment receives and transmits just enough energy to properly convey information while interfering with other users no more than necessary.
- Fig. 6 several mobile stations (MSI, MS2, MS3, MS4) are shown communicating with a base station within a cell via corresponding radio links.
- Fig. 8 shows received power at the base station with optimal power control.
- a single mobile station sees the power levels of the whole transmission from the base station, and the power levels should in the ideal case vary as a function of the path loss in the downlink, and thus the power levels for optimal power control are different at the different observation points.
- the proposed functions consist of up and downlink outer loop power control, up and downlink inner loop power control, and up and downlink open loop power control for both ordinary and compressed transmit power.
- the open loop power control for both the uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) sets the initial power of the user equipment (UE), i.e., at random access.
- the function uses UE measurements and broadcasts the cell/system parameters as input.
- the function is located both in the UTRAN and the UE.
- the downlink open loop power control receives downlink measurement reports from the UE.
- the uplink and downlink inner loop power control set the power of the uplink and downlink dedicated physical channels.
- For the uplink inner loop power control in FDD it is a closed loop process located in Node B for FDD. It receives the quality target from the uplink outer loop power control (discussed below), and quality estimates of the uplink dedicated physical control channel.
- the power control commands are sent on the downlink dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH) to the UE. This function is located in both the UTRAN and the UE.
- DPCCH downlink dedicated physical control channel
- the uplink outer loop power control is located in the SRNC and sets the target quality value for the UL inner loop power control (which is located in Node B for FDD). It receives input from quality estimates of the transport channel.
- the UL outer loop channel is used mainly for a long-term quality control of the radio channel.
- the target quality value is sent to the UE by the SRNC.
- FDD if the connection involves both an SRNS and a DRNS, the function of UL outer loop power control (located in the SRNC) sets the target quality for the UL inner loop power control function (located in Node B).
- the downlink inner loop power control sets the power of the downlink dedicated physical channels. It receives the quality target from the DL outer loop power control and quality estimates of the downlink dedicated physical control channel.
- the power control commands are sent on the uplink dedicated physical control channel to the UTRAN.
- This function is located in both the UTRAN and the UE.
- Fig. 9 shows an uplink inner loop power control for two mobile stations (MSI, MS2) in communication with a base station
- the up or down command would be 1 dB within an approximately 70 dB range (21 dBm to -50 dBm) for the uplink and within an approximately 20 dB range for the downlink.
- DSCH downlink shared channel
- the UMTS specifications do not specify exactly how the DSCH power control is normally to be done. Basically, two alternatives exist. Either the DSCH is made to follow the DCH power variations, or the DSCH power level is fixed. For instance, for common channels the approach of the prior art would be to just use a fixed power level or to control the power level slowly via the RNC to follow the dedicated channel power level (although such an approach is not believed to have yet been specified in the interface specifications).
- the power levels of the whole transmission from the base station and the power levels should, in the ideal case, vary as a function of the path loss in the downlink, and thus the power levels for optimal power control are different, depending upon the location of the mobile station.
- the power level for DSCH is fixed, then the power for all users is the same in the downlink and should be sufficient to reach a mobile station at the cell edge, although some of the users would need much less power in practice.
- the DSCH power control is done based on the DCH power control, there will be a problem on soft handover. The reason for this is that the user equipment (UE) selects a primary cell periodically by measuring the RSCP (received signal code power) of CPICHs (common pilot channels) transmitted by the active cells. The cell with the highest CPICH RSCP is detected as a primary cell.
- RSCP received signal code power
- the base station can assume that it is primary or close to the primary in the power level for that UE, especially if DSCH traffic for that terminal is handed over to that base station, but then afterwards information is not given if other base stations are dropped or added to the active set in the soft handover state.
- the prior art methods have no real means to determine if the signal from the base station is the strongest one the terminal is receiving.
- the problem is that the base station is not continually updated on whether the initially indicated soft handover state is still valid or not. Consequently, it could be the case that the power control of the DSCH is being done based on a non-dominating DCH. This would mean that the DSCH power level would be too low.
- a solution would be to add a parallel power control loop for DSCH use. But this would be a problem, because DSCH does not contain any pilot bits, and it also has long periods of silent duration.
- a parallel power control loop for DSCH use such ' as a 100 Hz parallel power control loop, would not necessarily be very well "up-to- date" when the transmission on DSCH is initiated (such a solution might, for instance, borrow n symbols per 10 millisecond frame from the existing power control command stream for DSCH use; if borrowing one symbol per 10 millisecond frame the resulting rate would be 100 Hz).
- Another possibility would be to add a second, fully parallel stream with separate symbols, also with a rate of 1500 Hz (15 slot frames provided at 1500 Hz rate with one slot per frame for power command) for DSCH. But this would be burdensome and would require more changes to the current specification. Also, controlling DSCH on its own is not feasible, since DSCH is discontinuous and since it does not provide reference (pilot) symbols.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a power control of a downlink shared channel in the context of downlink transmit diversity.

- UE user equipment
- BS base stations
- the UE should have sensing means 12, such as shown in Fig. 11, responsive to a selected parameter of the various downlinks 14, 16, 18 from respective base stations 20, 22, 24.
- An interface means 26 may be provided connected to an antenna 28, which provides the sensed downlink signals 14, 16, 18 to the interface means.
- the interface means receives the downlink signals on a signal line 30 connected to the antenna and provides an output signal on a line 32 to the sensing means 12 indicative of the received downlink signals 14, 16, 18.
- the interface means 26 may form part of a duplexer 34 which may also include an interface means 36 for providing an uplink signal on a line 38 to the antenna 28.
- the sensing means 12 senses the downlink signals on the line 32 and provides a sensed signal on a line 42 having a magnitude indicative of the selected sensed parameter sensed by the sensing means 12. This may be, for instance, signal strength.
- a storage means 44 is responsive to the sensed signal on the line 42 for temporarily storing the magnitude of the sensed parameter for each of the respective downlinks 14, 16, 18. Once stored, these stored signal magnitudes can be provided on demand as signal outputs on lines 46 to a comparator means 48 for comparison therein.
- the comparator means 48 can, for instance, determine the downlink 14, 16, 18 with the largest magnitude signal strength. It can then indicate on a signal line 50 which downlink 14, 16, 18 has the largest signal strength magnitude.
- a selection means 52 responsive to the signal on the line 50 can then select or designate a preferred base station from which the downlink with the largest signal magnitude is currently emanating.
- a selection signal line 54 It can indicate this selection on a selection signal line 54 to a signaling means 56, which in response thereto signals the identity of the selected base station on a signal line 58 to the interface means 36 which, in turn, provides the identification or selection signal as an uplink on the line 38 to the antenna 28, where it is radiated as an uplink identification or selection signal as indicated on an uplink signal line 60 which may be distinct.
- This process is repeated periodically in order to decide as the mobile station moves about in relation to the various base stations, which one of the more than one of the plural radio links is currently preferred for use in the communications session between the user equipment and an end terminal (not shown) connected to the system.
- the user equipment can signal this information upstream and indicate which base station is currently preferred for providing the downlink that actually is currently selected for carrying the session. Portions of the downlinks that are not selected can be shut off, e.g., data carrying portions (as opposed to voice).
- the components shown in the UE of Fig. 11 are functional blocks that need not be carried out as discrete entities, as shown. In fact, they are more likely to be carried out as executable software code resident in a permanent memory installed in the UE.
- Such a configuration is well known and can generally be represented as a general or special purpose signal processor including a central processing unit (CPU), a read-only memory (ROM) for storing the executable code, a random access memory (RAM) for storing temporary computational results, stored data information and the like, various input/output (I/O) devices, timing means including a clock, all intercom ected by data, address and control buses.
- CPU central processing unit
- ROM read-only memory
- RAM random access memory
- I/O input/output
- Fig. 11 can then be carried out in such software code stored in a ROM, as mentioned, and can be written by any person skilled in the art consulting Fig. 11 or a flowchart, state diagram or the like describing such functions. It will thus be realized that the various functional blocks shown in Fig. 11 can be divided or combined according to the selected algorithm. For instance, the comparator means 48 and selection means 52 can be carried out as a single functional block, whereby the result of the comparison automatically indicates the preferred base station without having to go through an extra selection step. Likewise, the various other blocks shown in both Fig. 11 and Figs. 10, 12 and 13, can be functionally transferred to other blocks or combined with other blocks.
- one of the base stations 20 shown in Fig. 10 is illustrated with an antenna 62 for providing the downlink 14 at a power level controlled according to the invention, as well as for receiving the uplink 60 from the UE. It may include separate antennas but is shown with a duplexer 64 for use with a single antenna.
- the duplexer is responsive to the uplink signal on the line 60 from the UE from the antenna and provides the downlink signal on a line 66 to a selecting means 68 for providing a selection signal on a line 70 to a power control means 72 which controls the level of power provided on the downlink 14 by means of an output signal on a line 74 to the duplexer 64.
- the power control means is responsive to a downlink information or voice signal on a line 75 which contains the intelligence to be transmitted on the downlink 14.
- the power control means 72 provides the signal on the line 75 as its output on the line 74 at varying power levels depending on the signal on the line 70.
- the base station can be responsive to the uplink signal on the line 60, which is indicative of whether or not the base station is preferred for providing the downlink signal on the line 14.
- the information signal on the line 75 can instead be provided to another, parallel device which is, in turn, controlled by the signal on the line 74 operating as a control signal.
- the process of selection at the UE can be based on a parameter of the downlink, such as signal strength.
- a parameter of the downlink such as signal strength.
- the base stations 20, 22, ..., 24 would be selected as the preferred base station and would be the only one supplying the communications session ongoing between the UE and the not-shown terminal connected to the system.
- the base stations 20, 22, 24 may be connected to a common network controller 76, which is in turn connected to other, hierarchically higher control devices within the mobile telecommunications system.
- the functional block shown situated in the base station 20 of Fig. 12 could therefore be carried out in whole or in part at different hierarchical levels within the mobile telecommunications system. For instance, all or part of the functions can be carried out at the upstream RNC (see Fig. 2) instead of at the base station (Node B).
- the DSCH (downlink shared channel) is to be used in WCDMA for transmission of packet data in the downlink.
- the DSCH is a common channel that is operated in such a way as to always be associated with a dedicated channel (DCH).
- DCH dedicated channel
- the main reason for the use of DSCH is the saving of the orthogonal code resource when compared to the case that a dedicated channel resource is reserved for all users according to the maximum peak data rate.
- An example use is to allocate the speech service on a dedicated channel and then the packet data service on the DSCH. In that event, DSCH is most usable for services where delay may vary, such as non-real time packet data (worldwide- web-browsing, etc.).
- Fig. 13 shows an improved DSCH power control in soft handover for WCDMA, according to the present invention.
- SSDT site selection diversity transmit
- 3G Third Generation
- UE user equipment
- UE selects one cell from its active set to be primary and periodically informs a primary cell ID to the connecting cells via an uplink in an FBI (feedback information) field.
- Non-primary cells not selected by the UE as the primary cell, switch off the transmission power of the DPDCH (Dedicated Physical Data Channel) of the particular DCH associated with the corresponding UE.
- DPDCH Dedicated Physical Data Channel
- a non-primary cell can switch off its DPDCH output (i.e., no transmissions).
- the cell manages two downlink transmission power levels, PI, P2.
- Power level PI is used for downlink DPCCH (dedicated physical control channel) transmission power level, and this level is updated as described above for ordinary transmit power control (or power control in compressed mode) regardless of the selected state
- TFCI transmit format combination indicator
- TPC transmit power control
- pilot fields of DPCCH is set by adding PI and the offsets P01, P02 and P03, respectively.
- the currently proposed downlink transmit power control procedure controls simultaneously the power of a DPCCH (dedicated physical control channel) and its corresponding DPDCHs (dedicated physical data channels).
- the power control loop adjusts the power of the DPCCH and DPDCHs with the same amount, i.e., the relative power difference between the DPCCH and DPDCHs is not changed.
- the relative transmit power offset between DPCCH fields and DPDCHs is determined by the network.
- DPCCH are offset relative to the DPDCHs' power by PO1, PO2 and PO3 dB respectively.
- the power offsets may vary in time.
- a user equipment in the form of a communicator (80) in communication with two base stations (Node Bs in 3G) 82, 84 over two corresponding pairs 86, 88 of up and down links.
- the Node B on the left 82 and the Node B on the right 84 are hardwired to a common radio network controller (RNC) 90, such as one of the RNCs shown in Fig. 2.
- RNC radio network controller
- each RNC shown in Fig. 2 is connected to multiple Node B base stations, each occupying a particular cell in a group of cells served by the RNC.
- Each Node B is connected to the RNC by an Iub interface, as shown in Fig. 2.
- Fig. 10 may be connected to another RNC, as suggested in Fig. 2, over another interface called the Iur interface.
- the communicator 80 of Fig. 10 can actually move from a group of cells served by one RNC to a group a cells served by another RNC, while at the same time maintaining an active connection at all times and without having to tear down and build up such connections when making such transitions.
- the exemplary DSCH power control can be residing in the Node B or in the RNC, for instance. Although shown residing most conveniently in the base station in Fig. 12, it should be realized that it could be residing in the RNC, or even further upstream, for instance, in the 3G-SGSN of Fig. 2.
- the exemplary DSCH power control can be residing in the Node B or in the RNC, for instance. Although shown residing most conveniently in the base station in Fig. 12, it should be realized that it could be residing in the RNC, or even further upstream, for instance, in the 3G-SGSN of Fig. 2.
- DSCH power control can be fast or slow and can be the same as the associated DCH, but in the proposed 3G, the Node B does continually not have the information as to when it is in soft handover, and thus as time goes on during a session the DCH power may become too low to be used as a DSCH reference. This is because the Node B does not have information during the connection whether it is the primary or not at any given point in time. Updating this information with the network would be slow and not necessarily always up to date.
- the above-mentioned SSDT gives an indication in soft handover whether a cell is primary or not.
- the base station (Node B) is expected not to transmit data, but only control information, when the cell ID sent by the UE does not match the base station.
- the SSDT signaling is used regardless of whether the base stations actually use it, and the SSDT is used for its signaling information to configure DSCH transmission power with the principle that if the cell is primary, the DSCH power is set based on the DCH, and if not, then a fixed power level or an offset power level with respect to DCH is used.
- DSCH is offset when (A) primary or (B) non-primary. More specifically, for case (A) the offset would be 0, i.e., offset is a function of data rate only. For case (B), the offset would be a function of, e.g., primary indications over the last ten frames. Thus, for a 10/10 primary indication, the offset would be 0 dB, while if only one out of 10 frames were indicating the base station to be primary, then a
- 10 dB offset would be given, for example.
