Power control arrangement for long term elvolution time division duplex method and apparatus
View Patent ↗Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, systems and apparatuses for optimizing downlink path loss (PL) measurements in time division duplex (TDD) systems enabling fast power control targeting to decrease fading margin. In one embodiment, a method of power control in a long term evolution time division duplex (TDD) system is provided. The method includes controlling a length of a path loss measurement filter based on an allocation type. A width and frequency position of the path loss measurement filter is made dependent on the allocation type.
1. A method comprising:
controlling, by a controller, a length of a path loss measurement filter based on an allocation type; and
making, by the controller, a width and frequency position of the path loss measurement filter to be dependent on the allocation type,
wherein said controlling comprises controlling by said controller, in a long term evolution time division duplex system, the length of the path loss measurement filter based on the allocation type, and
wherein, when said time division duplex system does not use any fast fading compensation, a path loss measurement is calculated over a total bandwidth.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, when said time division duplex system uses a fast fading compensation, the path loss measurement is calculated over an allocated bandwidth.
3. An apparatus comprising:
a controller configured to:
control a length of a path loss measurement filter based on an allocation type, and
make a width and frequency position of the path loss measurement filter to be dependent on the allocation type,
wherein said controller is a controller in a long term evolution time division duplex system, and
wherein, when said time division duplex system does not use any fast fading compensation, a path loss measurement is calculated over a total bandwidth.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein, when said time division duplex system uses a fast fading compensation, the path loss measurement is calculated over an allocated bandwidth.
