Information on W-CDMA Power Control

W-CDMA Power Control is a vital part of the operation of the W-CDMA system. Without effective power control to ensure that the W-CDMA Base Transceiver Station (BTS) receives the same power from each of the W-CDMA User Equipments, W-CDMA provides very poor efficiency of sharing of the available spectrum.
     There are two forms of power control used in W-CDMA:

  • open-loop control, which provides a coarse power setting, and
  • closed-loop control, which is used to provide fine adjustment of power based on regular power measurements.
