Abstract
The invention relates to control of transmission power in cellular networks, specifically in cells having transmitters in several frequency bands. The invention allows the network to control the maximum transmission power of a mobile station in more than one frequency band.
Description
- The invention relates to control of transmission power in communications networks, specifically in systems wherein transmitters operate in several frequency bands.
- A communications network is a facility which enables communication between two or more entities such as user terminal equipment (mobile or fixed) or other communication device, network entities and other nodes. The communication may comprise, for example, communication of voice, electronic mail (email), text messages, data, multimedia and so on.
- A communications network typically operates in accordance with a given rules which set out what the various elements of a system are permitted to do and how that should be achieved. For example, a standard or specification may define if the user, or more precisely user equipment, is provided with a circuit switched (CS) bearer or a packet switched (PS) bearer, or both. Communication protocols and/or parameters which should be used for the connection are also typically defined. For example, the manner in which communication should be implemented between the user equipment and the elements of the communication networks is typically based on a predefined communication protocol.
- Access to the communication network may be provided by a fixed line or wireless communication interface. Communication systems providing wireless access enable at least some degree of mobility for the users thereof. More advanced mobility support can typically be added as an enhanced feature. An example of communication networks providing wireless access is a public land mobile network (PLMN). The public land mobile networks (PLMN) are commonly based on cellular technology. In cellular systems, a base transceiver station (BTS) or similar access entity services mobile communication device or user equipment (UE) via a wireless interface between these entities. These devices will in the following be referred commonly as mobile stations. The communication on the wireless interface between the mobile station and elements of the communication network can be based on an appropriate communication protocol. The operation of the base station apparatus and other apparatus required for the communication can be controlled by one or several control entities. Non-limiting examples of PLMN systems include the GSM (Global System for Mobile communications), the so called 2.5 generation GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) or the third generation (3G) networks such as WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) or EDGE (Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution). Other examples of wireless access technologies include various wireless local area networks (WLANs) and satellite based systems.
- The various control entities of a communication system may be interconnected. One or more gateway nodes may be provided for connecting a network to other communication networks, for example to an IP (Internet Protocol) and/or other packet switched data networks. In such arrangements, the communications network provides user with access to external networks, hosts, or services offered by specific service providers.
- An example of the drawbacks of the current system will now be described with reference to the GSM (Global System for Mobile communication). The first GSM networks were designed for voice services. When the use of the GSM data services started, it became evident that the circuit switched bearer services were not particularly well suited for certain types of applications with a bursty nature. Therefore the new packet switched (PS) data transmission service GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) was also defined for packet services. GPRS is a packet radio network utilising the GSM network, which endeavours to optimise data packet transmission by means of GPRS protocol layers on the air interface between a mobile station and a GPRS network.
- According to third generation partnership project (3GPP) standards, a GPRS mobile station (MS) can operate in one of three modes of operation as disclosed for example by the standard document 3GPP TS 23.060 version 6.5.0 of June 2004. These modes are:
- 1. Class A mode of operation: the MS is attached to the both GPRS and other GSM services. The mobile user can make and/or receive calls on the two services simultaneously e.g. having a normal GSM voice call and receiving GPRS data packets at the same time.
- 2. Class B mode of operation: the MS is attached to the both GPRS and other GSM services, but the MS can only operate on set of services at a time.
- 3. Class C mode of operation: the MS can only be attached either to the GSM network or the GPRS network. The selection is done manually and there are no simultaneous operations.
- Multiple frequency bands have been specified for example in the standard 3GPP TS 45.005 version 6.6.0 of July 2004 for GSM operation. A multi-band GSM network may use frequencies from multiple, typically two, different frequency bands. A single cell of a GSM system may use frequencies from a single frequency band only or it may use frequencies from multiple frequency bands. The latter is often called “common BCCH cell” as the frequency identifying the cell and broadcasting BCCH (broadcast control channel) information is common for traffic channels on that cell, where the traffic channels may be assigned on different frequency bands.
- According to the 3GPP standards, a mobile station (MS) transmitting packet data to the network uses the output power given by the formula in the sub-clause 10.2.1 of the standard specification 3GPP TS 45.008 version 6.0.8 of July 2004. According to that sub-clause the radio frequency (RF) output power, PCH, to be employed by the mobile station on each individual uplink Packet Data Channel (PDCH) shall be:
P CH=min(Γ0−ΓCH−α*(C+48), PMAX), -
- where
- ΓCH is an MS and channel specific power control parameter, sent to the MS in an radio link control (RLC) control message (see 3GPP TS 44.060).
- α is a system parameter, broadcast on PBCCH or optionally sent to MS in an RLC control message (see 3GPP TS 44.018 and 3GPP TS 44.060).
- C is the normalised received signal level at the MS as defined in sub-clause 10.2.3.1 of the above referred standard specification 3GPP TS 45.008.
- PMAX is the maximum allowed output power in the cell,
- which is
- GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH if present,
- MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH otherwise.
- As can be seen the key factor is the PMAX, since nevertheless what the calculation gives the mobile station shall use the lowest of the two; (γ0−ΓCH−α*(C+48) or PMAX given as the network delivered parameter. PMAX parameter is broadcast on a broadcast control channel (BCCH) in system information 13 (SI3) and in system information 14 (SI4) and respectively on packet broadcast control channel (PBCCH) in packet system information 13 (PSI3), see, for example, 3GPP TS 44.018 version 6.8.0 of July 2004 and 3GPP TS 44.060 version 6.8.0 of July 2004. The formula and the comparison work well when the packet resources are allocated in the same band than BCCH and/or PBCCH.
- The exemplifying Table 1 of
FIG. 1 presents the nominal output powers ofGSM 400, GSM 900,GSM 850 andGSM 700 bands according to GSM standards. If the MS is packet idle mode listening BCCH (in 900 MHz band) intermittently and it receives the MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH parameter withvalue 8 then the nominal output power level is 27 dBm. Then the MS requests packet resources and the network allocates resources on 1800 MHz. As can be seen from the second table in the following,value 8 denotes 14 dBm on the 1800 MHz band instead of 27 dBm on 900 MHz band. Too low output power level may lead to a poor signal quality and respectively too high power level may cause unnecessary interference. - Table 2 of
FIG. 2 presents nominal output powers forDCS 1800 band as specified in 3GPP TS 45.005 version 6.6.0 of July 2004. - These arrangements have certain problems. The mobile station's maximum output power is based on parameters received in system information messages on (P)BCCH channel while in the packet idle mode. When the network allocates packet resources on a different frequency band than the common (P)BCCH channels the network may have difficulties in setting the correct maximum output power for the mobile station. The network cannot optimise the maximum power for each frequency band separately in a common BCCH cell and especially, because of the different mapping of power control levels on different frequency bands, the network cannot set the same dBm value, or a value that reflects the frequency band specific path loss for each frequency band on that cell, for the maximum output power on each frequency band.
- Embodiments of the present invention aim to overcome one or several of the above problems.
- According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a method for controlling transmission power of a mobile station communicating with a telecommunications network.

FIG. 5 illustrates schematically a telecommunications system wherein the various embodiments may be implemented.FIG. 5 illustrates amobile station 300, acellular network 340, and anetwork element 330 of thecellular network 340. In the example ofFIG. 5 , thenetwork element 330 is a base station. - A cellular network is typically arranged to serve a plurality of mobile stations, via a wireless interface between the mobile stations and base stations of the communication system. The cellular communication network may provide packet switched data transmission in the packet switched domain between a support node and a mobile station. The network in turn may be connected to external networks, for example the Internet, via an appropriate gateway to allow communication between mobile stations and external networks. In addition to at least one gateway, a network may comprise also other nodes, for example radio network and/or base station controllers.
- The
base station 330 is arranged to transmit signals to and receive signals from themobile station 300, via respective wireless interfaces.

FIG. 5 illustrates certain details of amobile station 300 in accordance with an embodiment.

The mobile station also comprises acontroller 320 for determining a maximum output power level of the mobile station in a first frequency band based on said first parameter value, and for determining a maximum output power level of the mobile station in a second frequency band based on said first and second transmission power parameter values. It is noted that these component may be provided separately for the first and second frequency bands, if this is deemed appropriate. - In an embodiment of the invention, the method can be implemented by means of software programs executed by a processor in the mobile station. In such an implementation, the
receivers 310 can be implemented using computer software code means which are arranged to receive data and store received parameter values, while saidcontrollers 320 can be implemented using computer software code means which perform said determinations. -
FIG. 5 also illustrates some further details of thenetwork element 330, which comprises an implementation of an advantageous embodiment of the invention. As shown inFIG. 5 , thenetwork element 330 comprises acontroller 332 for determining a maximum output power level of a mobile station in a first frequency band, atransmitter 334 for transmitting a first parameter value indicating said maximum output power level of a mobile station in a first frequency band, acontroller 332 determining a maximum output power level of a mobile station in a second frequency band, and atransmitter 334 for transmitting a second parameter value indicating an offset from said maximum output power level of a mobile station in a first frequency band. - In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the invention can be implemented using software in the network element. In this embodiment, the
controllers 332 can be implemented using computer software code means in the network element. Also thetransmitters 334 can be implemented as computer software code means causing the transmission of said values from the processor unit of the network element. - According to an embodiment of the invention, existing parameters MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH and GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH (if PBCCH is present) may be used to control maximum output power level of upper bands (e.g.
DCS 1800 MHz 1900 MHz) and a new parameter may used to control maximum output power level of lower bands (e.g. GSM 400,GSM 900,GSM 850 andGSM 700 bands). This new parameter, here called the TBF_MS_TXPWR_MAX parameter, may be used to represent an offset from the upper band value. - According to a further embodiment of the invention, the TBF_MS_TXPWR_MAX parameter represents an absolute value.
- The TBF_TXPWR_MAX parameter may be specified independently band by band.
- The TBF_MS_TXPWR_MAX parameter can be transmitted in SI13 rest octets information element (IE) sent on BCCH. In a PBCCH channel, the parameter can be transmitted in a PACKET SYSTEM INFORMATION 1 (PSI1) message.
- According to an embodiment, existing parameters, for example MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH and GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH (if PBCCH is present), may be used as a parameter to control maximum output power level of an upper frequency band (e.g. 1800 MHz), and a first new parameter may be used to control maximum output power level for one of the lower bands (e.g. 900 MHz). Maximum output power levels for other bands may be specified using frequency band specific predetermined fixed offset parameters. These parameters may indicate the maximum transmission power for each band as an offset from said first new parameter. Alternatively, the offset may be from the parameter associated with said upper frequency band, or from another further parameter. There can be a separate individually assigned predetermined offset parameter for each of a plurality of frequency bands.
- For example, in a GPRS system the above parameters could be such that a ‘MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH’ corresponds to the first parameter, and ‘LB_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH’ corresponds to the second parameter.
- For example, this mapping can be achieved by setting
code point 1 for MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH parameter (and respectively for GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH if PBCCH is present) and for a new parameter code point 10 (assuming that existing mapping table specified in 3GPP TS 45.005 is used also for a new parameter). The corresponding mapping of the maximum output power may then be:Frequency band offset 1800 MHz 28 dBm 900 MHz 23 dBm 450 MHz 23 dBm − 6 dB = 17 dBm - Possible predetermined fixed offset values for different lower band frequencies may be set for example as follows (in the example relative to the 900 MHz band):
Frequency band offset 900 MHz 0 dB 850 MHz 0 dB 700 MHz −2 dB 400 MHz −6 dB - Use of individually set offsets for different frequency bands has the advantage that it can enable optimal maximum output power level setting for all lower bands supported in a given cell.
- According to a further embodiment, maximum output power on different bands is controlled by predefining a frequency band specific offset for each frequency band in use at a cell, transmitting a power control parameter, and calculating the maximum output power value for transmissions on a specific frequency band from said power control parameter and the predefined offset value corresponding to this specific frequency band.
- The frequency band specific offset could be defined for all bands in use at a base station, e.g. as follows using 900 MHz band as a reference band:
Frequency band offset 1900 MHz +6 dB 1800 MHz +6 dB 900 MHz 0 dB 850 MHz 0 dB 700 MHz −2 dB 400 MHz −6 dB - This embodiment can advantageously be implemented by arranging a base station transmit a power control parameter according to prior art, and a second power control parameter. In such an implementation, mobile stations which are incapable of performing the inventive method obey the power control parameter transmitted according to prior art, and mobile stations which can perform according to the invention can use the second power control parameter and the predefined offset values for determining maximum transmission power levels in different frequency bands.
- According to a still further embodiment of the invention, maximum transmission powers in different frequency bands are controlled by storing predetermined offset values in a mobile station and transmitting an indication from the network to the mobile station that these offset values are to be applied. As a response to reception of said indication, it is possible to determine the maximum transmission power in a frequency band on the basis of a maximum transmission power parameter for a predetermined frequency band (such as, for example, the MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH or GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH parameter) and the offset value corresponding to the frequency band. The transmission power parameter may be defined as for specific predetermined frequency bands. A frequency band specific offset to this value may then be applied to other bands. This embodiment has advantage in that the indication that the offset values are to be applied can be as simple as a one-bit flag transmitted from the base station to the mobile station. Because of this the implementation of this embodiment adds very little load on the air interface.
- The above described embodiments provide several advantages. Accurate control of maximum output power on a common BCCH cell may be allowed. The behaviour of legacy terminals can be maintained as optimal as possible. The link budget properties of different bands can be taken into account without having a specific maximum output power parameter defined for each band separately. The number of bits used for signalling can be kept low.
- It is noted that while the preceding description illustrates various embodiments of the invention with reference to cellular telecommunications systems such as the GSM and 3G systems, the invention is not limited to cellular systems, but can be implemented in different types of communication systems as well. The embodiments are applicable to packet switched access and circuit switched access.
- It is also noted herein that while the above describes exemplifying embodiments of the invention, there are several variations and modifications which may be made to the disclosed solution without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
