Description

POWER CONTROL FRAMEWORK FOR MULTI-BEAM CONFIGURATION
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/502,424, filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on May 05, 2017, and entitled “POWER CONTROL FRAMEWORK FOR MULTI-BEAM CONFIGURATION, ” which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
TECHNICAL FIELD
The disclosure relates generally totransmission power control, in particular, to Physical Uplink Share Channel (PUSCH) power control in a multi-beam configuration.
BACKGROUND
Uplink (UL) power control aims at setting transmission power to meet desired Quality of Service (QoS) at a reception point as well as to minimize interference to neighboring reception points. In a multi-beam configuration, there may be multiple reception points. So the UL transmission power should be adapted to the target reception points for link adaptation gain. The general principle for transmission power control in Long Term Evolution (LTE) mobile communication networks takes into account factors including target Signal to Interference and Noise Ratios (SINRs) for specific services, UL transmit bandwidth, downlink (DL) path loss to a serving cell, fractional power control with higher layer configured parameters, adjustment for different transport format (e.g., Uplink Control Information (UCI) ) , and close-loop powercorrection.
The 5G new radio (NR) communication networks may define beam specific open and closed loop parameters for beam specific power control. A next generation node B (gNB) in 5G new radio networks may also obtain different power headroom for the different waveforms if a user equipment (UE) can be configured for different waveforms. Accordingly, theprinciple of beam specific power control in 5G new radio  (NR) communication networks should include additional variables in multi-beam configuration.

FIG. 1 illustrates an example communication system 100 for uplink (UL) power control in multi-beam configurationin accordance with various embodiments. The example communication system 100 may include a base station 102, and user equipment104A, 104B (also collectively and individually referred to as 104) . While only onebase station 102 and twouser equipment 104A, 104B are shown in FIG. 1, this is merely for ease of reference and is not meant to be limiting. The communication system 100 may have multiple base station 102, and/or more than two user equipment 104. As shown in FIG. 1, uplink (UL) communication 116A, 116B, and downlink (DL) communication 118A, 118B (also collectively and individually referred to as 116, 118 respectively) occur between the base station 102 and the user equipment 104A, 104B.
In some embodiments, the base station 102 is a 5G next generation base station, referred to as a next generation node B (gNB) , supporting 5G new radio networks. In other embodiments, the base station may be an E-UTRANNode B (eNB) supporting Long Term Evolution (LTE) mobile communication networks, a Node B in 3G Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile communication networks, or a base transceiver station (BTS) in 2G Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) networks. Accordingly, the user equipment 104 may be user devices such as mobile phones, smart phones, laptop computers or tablets equipped with a mobile broadband adapter, or any other devices supporting communication through one of the above-describednetworks. For example, the user equipment 104 may be a mobile phone supporting communication via 5G new radio networks.
In some embodiments, the base station 102 may include a transceiver and a controller that controls the transceiver to transmit and receive communication signals to and from the user equipment 104 via the UL and DL communication 116, 118. In some embodiments, the base station 102 and user equipment 104 may include one or more processors and memory (e.g., permanent memory, temporary memory) . The processor (s) may be configured to perform various operations by interpreting machine-readable  instructions stored in the memory. The base station 102 and user equipment 104may include other computing resources and/or have access (e.g., via one or more connections/networks) to other computing resources.
In some embodiments, the base station 102 may be configured to facilitate the user equipment 104 to determinate a Physical Uplink Share Channel (PUSCH) transmission power. The base station 102 may transmit a signal including a reference signal to the user equipment 104, which the user equipment 104 may use to measure reference signal received power and calculate a downlink (DL) path loss based on the reference signal received power. Further, the base station 102 may signal parameters to the user equipment 104 for determining a PUSCH power. For example, the base station 102 may broadcast parameters to the user equipment 104 for determining the PUSCH power according to the formulas described in detail below.
As shown in FIG. 1, the user equipment 104A, 104Bmay include a  power control module  112A, 112B (also collectively and individually referred to as 112) that may be configured to perform the uplink (UL) power control in a multi-beam configuration. For example, the power control module 112 may set the UL transmission power in compensation of fractional path loss of specific link to achieve the target Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR) and minimize the interference to the neighboring receiving points. The power control module 112 may determine the UL transmission power based on multiple factors or parameters, e.g., UL transmit bandwidth, target SINR for specific services, downlink (DL) path loss to the serving cell, fractional power control with higher layer configured parameters, adjustment for different transport format (e.g., UCI) , and close-loop power correction, etc.
In some embodiments, the power control module 112 may measure reference signal received power and calculate downlink (DL) path loss based on the reference signal received power. In addition, the power control module 112 may obtain the parameters from the base station 102. The power control module 112 may determine a PUSCH transmission power P PUSCH,  c (i, j) for a PUSCH transmission of a serving cell c  using parameter set configuration with index j in PUSCH transmission period i, based on a formula as follows:
Figure PCTCN2018080159-appb-000010
where P CMAX,  c (i) is the configured user equipment (UE) transmission power for the serving cell c in the PUSCH transmission period i, M PUSCH,  c (i) is bandwidth of PUSCH resource assignment expressed in number of resource blocks for PUSCH transmission period i, P O_PUSCH,  c (j) is the target power including the sum of a cell specific nominal component P O_NOMINAL_PUSCH,  c (j) and a UE specific component P O_UE_PUSCH,  c (j) , α c (j) is a scaling factor, PL c is the downlink path loss, Δ TF,  c (i) is a UE specific parameter for different types of traffic, and f (i) is PUSCH power control adjustment state for the PUSCH transmission period i.
In some embodiments, the power control module 112 may be configured to calculate a numerology adjustment factoras another parameter for determining the PUSCHtransmission power. In other embodiments, the base station 102 may determine the numerology adjustment factor and signal (e.g., broadcast) it to the user equipment 104. The communication system 100 supports different numerologies and operation of mixed numerologies in frequency or time division multiplexing (FDM or TDM) . One Physical Resource Block (PRB) contains 12 Resource Elements (REs) in frequency regardless what numerology the system 100 uses. When UL transmission is configured with a subcarrier spacing different from the default subcarrier spacing, the bandwidth of PUSCH resource increases or decreases in proportion to the increase or decrease of the subcarrier spacing. Therefore, an adjustment factor reflecting different numerologies may be used to adjust the PUSCH transmission power. For example, the numerology adjustment factor may be calculated to be a non-zero value when the subcarrier spacing is different from the default subcarrier spacing. Specifically, the numerology adjustment factor for different numerologies may be defined as follows,
Figure PCTCN2018080159-appb-000011
where δ SCS represents the numerology adjustment factor, SCS conf is configured subcarrier spacing for the PUSCH transmission and SCS default is default subcarrier spacing used for Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) in an initial access.
The power control module 112 may utilize the numerology adjustment factor δ SCS as an additional parameter to determine the PUSCH transmission power as follows:
Figure PCTCN2018080159-appb-000012
In some embodiments, the power control module 112 may be configured to determine a reliability requirement of the PUSCH transmission and set a corresponding component of the transmission power based on the reliability requirement. In other embodiments, the base station 102 may determine a reliability requirement of the PUSCH transmission and signal (e.g., broadcast) the information describing the reliability requirement to the user equipment 104 for determining the PUSCHtransmission power. The communication system 100 may supports service with different reliability requirements, e.g., Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) , enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) , etc. Accordingly, the target SINR may be set differently for services with different reliability requirements. One element of the transmission power -the target power P O_PUSCH,  c (j) may be set based on the target SINR and include a cell specific nominal component P O_NOMINAL_PUSCH,  c (j) and a UE-specific component P O_UE_PUSCH,  c (j) . The cell nominal component P O_NOMINAL_PUSCH,  c (j) is specified for power setting of cell-specific operation, e.g., Random Access Channel (RACH) Msg3 power. The UE-specific component P O_UE_PUSCH,  c (j) is used to reflect different target SINR based on the UE-specific operation, e.g., Semi-Persistent Scheduled (SPS) retransmission. Therefore, the UE-specific component P O_UE_PUSCH,  c (j) may be set to different values to support services with different reliability requirements, e.g., URLLC, eMBB.
In some embodiments, the power control module 112may be configured to determine a UL multiple access scheme of the PUSCH transmission and set a corresponding component of the PUSCHtransmission power based on the determined UL multiple access scheme. In other embodiments, the base station 102 may determine the UL multiple access scheme of the PUSCH transmission and signal (e.g., broadcast) the determined UL multiple access scheme to the user equipment 104. The communication system 100 may support different UL multiple access schemes, e.g., scheduled based orthogonal multiple access (SB-OMA) , non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) , grant free multiple access (GRMA) , etc. Interference levels of different multiple access schemes may be different. Accordingly, the setting of the target power P O_PUSCH,  c (j) may be adapted to the interference level of each multiple access scheme to meet the target SINR. Because the multiple access scheme is a cell specific operation, the cell specific nominal component P O_NOMINAL_PUSCH,  c (j) of the target power P O_PUSCH,  c (j) may be set to different values to adapt for different interference levels of different multiple access scheme.
In some embodiments, the power control module 112 may be configured to measure a peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and calculate a back-off factor based on the measured PAPR. The back-off factor may be further used to determine the PUSCH transmission power. In other embodiments, the base station 102 may determine the PAPR and signal (e.g., broadcast) it to the user equipment 104. The communication system 100 may support both a cyclic prefix-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CP-OFDM) and Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM) based waveforms. It supports both at least for eMBB uplink for up to 40GHz. The CP-OFDM and DFT-S-OFDM based waveforms may have different PAPR values. The maximum power for CP-OFDM waveform with high PAPRmay be back off with a factor to operate UE linear amplifier (LNA) for both waveforms without signal distortion. For example, the back-off factor Δ B,  c (j) may be determined based on the difference of the measured PAPR, PAPR measured, and the average PAPR of DFT-S-OFDM, Avg. PAPR DFT-S-OFDM. Specifically, the back-off factor Δ B,  c (j) may be calculated as follows:
Figure PCTCN2018080159-appb-000013
The back-off factor Δ B,  c (j) may be used as an additional parameter to determine the PUSCH transmission power as follows:
Figure PCTCN2018080159-appb-000014
In some embodiments, the power control module 112 may be configured to obtain individual DL path loss of each beam among multiple detected beams in a multi-beam configuration. Then the DL path loss PL cfunction in formula (1) may be determined accordingly. In other embodiments, the base station 102 may obtain the individual DL path loss and signal (e.g., broadcast) it to the user equipment 104. In multi-beam configuration, the user equipment 104 may detect one or more DL beams above a detection threshold. In an IDLE mode, the user equipment 104 may select a DL beam for initial access. In a CONNECTED mode, the user equipment 104 may dynamically adapt to one of the multiple detected beams with best channel quality for DL data services. Similarly, the user equipment 104may dynamically associate with a selected DL beam for thePUSCH transmission with DL or UL beam correspondence as shown in FIG. 2. FIG. 2 illustrates a block diagram of an example UL adaptation 200 in the multi-beam configuration. For beam specific power control, the communication system 100 may define beam specific open and closed loop parameters. The power control module 112 may take UL adaptation into account when determining the PUSCH transmission power in the multi-beam configuration.
In some embodiments, the DLpath loss function PL c may be associated with multiple measured individual DL path losses, denoted as PL c,  m. The individual path loss PL c,  m may be measured from beam m of M detected beams of the serving cell c, wherein m∈ {1, 2, ……, M} and M is the number of the multiple detected beams. The DL path loss function PL c may be set to individual path loss PL c,  m if the close-loop power  correction factor f c (i) is not accumulated. If the close-loop power correction factor f c (i) is accumulated from a previous one, the close-loop power control may be operated to adapt the single radio channel for link quality adaptation. So the DL path loss function PL c may be set to follow a single path loss of a selected beam as the reference link. The DL path loss functionPL c of UL dynamic link adaptation of any DL beam mmay becalculated based on the reference path loss and additional path loss deviation of path loss of beam m comparing to the path loss of reference link. For example, the DL path loss PL c may be calculated as follows:
PL c=PL c,  Rc,  R,  m… (6) ,
where PL c,  R is a reference path loss, δ c,  R,  m=β* (PL c,  m-PL c,  R) , where β is a correlation factor between beams configured by higher layer and 0<β≤1.
In some embodiments, when the multiple beams are configured with little or no DL or UL beam correspondence, e.g., each beam is transmitted from each TRP as shown in FIG. 2, the UL transmission may be received at multiple reception points or beams. The DL path loss function PL cmay be defined as an optimization of joint reception of the multiple measured individual DL path losses {PL c,  1, PL c,  2, ……, PL c,  M} . Power control for joint reception of multiple reception points or beams in the cooperative set is to achieve the target SINR, and also to minimize the interference to neighboring beams not in the cooperative set. Therefore, the optimization of the DL path loss function PL cmay be defined as follows,
PL c=min {PL c,  1, PL c,  2, ……, PL c,  M} ... (7) ,
wherethe path loss compensation is based on the minimum of all individual DL path losses measurement. This optimization of joint reception is to ensure at least one reception point or beam to attain desired power for the path loss compensation and minimize the interference to other received points or beams that are not in the cooperative set. The received signals at other reception points or beams may be the enhancement after maximum ratio combining (MRC) .
In some embodiments, another optimization of the joint reception may be the maximum of the multiple measured individual DL path losses, to ensure each reception point or beam to obtain proper power compensation and to achieve target SINR. For example, the optimization of the joint reception may be calculated as follows:
PL c=max {PL c,  1, PL c,  2, ……, PL c,  M} … (8) .
In some embodiments, yet another optimization for the joint reception may be a weighted combination of the multiple measured individual DLpath losses, represented as follows:
Figure PCTCN2018080159-appb-000015
wherethe weighting factor w m, m∈ {1, 2, …, M} may be equal to or configured by higher layer for bias compensation toward some reception points or beams.
In some embodiments, the power control module 112 may configured to use any one or all of the factors described above to determine the PUSCH transmission power. For example, the PUSCH transmission power P PUSCH,  c (i, j) may be calculated as follows:
Figure PCTCN2018080159-appb-000016
As described above, Δ B,  c (j) is the P CMAX,  c (i) back-off factor of operating waveforms, such as CP-OFDM and DFT-S-OFDM based waveforms, of serving cell c using parameter set configuration with index j in PUSCH transmission period i. When j=0, Δ B,c (j) is the back-off factor for measured PAPR of configured DFT-S-OFDM based waveforms; when j=1, Δ B,  c (j) is the back-off factor for measured PAPR of configured CP-OFDM waveforms. M PUSCH,  c (i) is the bandwidth of the PUSCH resource assignment expressed in number of resource blocks valid in PUSCH transmission period i.
In addition, δ SCS is the numerology adjustment factor when the configured numerology of PUSCH transmission in period i is different from the default numerology. The cell specific nominal component P O_NOMINAL_PUSCH,  c (j) of the target power P O_PUSCH,  c (j) may be provided by higher layers. Similarly, the UE specific component P O_UE_PUSCH,  c (j) of the target power P O_PUSCH,  c (j) may be provided by higher layers for j=0 and 1. Specifically, the cell specific nominal component P O_NOMINAL_PUSCH,  c (j) may be configured as follows: when j=0, P O_NOMINAL_PUSCH,  c (j) may be set based on the target SINR associated with SB-OMA; when j=1, P O_NOMINAL_PUSCH,  c (j) may be set based on the target SINR associated with GRMA; when j=2, P O_NOMINAL_PUSCH,  c (j) may be set based on the target SINR associated with NOMA. The UE specific component P O_UE_PUSCH,  c (j) may be configured as follows: when j=0, P O_UE_PUSCH,  c (j) may be set based on the target SINR associated with Quality of Service (QoS) Class Identifier (QCI) index based on the eMBB service reliability requirements; when j=1, P O_UE_PUSCH,  c (j) may be set based on the target SINR associated with QCI index based on the URLLC service reliability requirements.
Moreover, α c (j) is the scaling factor of fractional power control configured by higher layers. In the multi-beam configuration, the DL path loss function PL cmay be configured to support dynamic link adaptation or joint reception. For dynamic link adaptation, it may be defined as follows: when j=0, if the close-loop power correction factor f c (i) is not accumulated, PL c may be defined as the individual DL path loss PL c,  m of the target beam m of the detected beams; when j=1, if the close-loop power correction factor f c (i) is accumulated, PL c may be defined based on the DL path loss of reference link and the deviation of the desired link, e.g., PL c=PL c,  Rc,  R,  m, where PL c,  R is a reference DL path loss, δ c,  R,  m=β* (PL c,  m-PL c,  R) , where β is a correlation factor between beams configured by higher layer and 0<β≤1. For joint reception at multiple reception points or beams, when j=2, PL c=min {PL c,  1, PL c,  2, ……, PL c,  M} ; when j=3, PL c=max {PL c,  1, PL c,  2, ……, PL c,  M} ; when j=4,

Figure PCTCN2018080159-appb-000018
