D2D Transmit Power Control With Minimum Coverage Guarantee
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently determining transmit power for direct device-to-device (D2D) communication, particularly in ensuring minimum coverage and managing interference between D2D and cellular communications, which affects communication quality and interference control.
Innovation Solution
A method for determining transmit power in D2D communication systems, where a UE receives a TPC command to adjust power based on minimum coverage requirements, with the option to use minimum transmit power for D2D communication when the TPC command power is lower than the minimum, and reporting power footroom to the eNB to manage interference and maintain coverage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If TPC command is used to adjust transmit power for D2D communication, then interference control is improved, but minimum coverage requirement may not be satisfied
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic transmit power adjustment by combining TPC commands with minimum power guarantees. The UE dynamically selects between TPC-adjusted power and minimum guaranteed power based on real-time conditions, ensuring both interference control and coverage reliability are maintained simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the power control parameter from a single TPC command value to a range of values including both TPC-adjusted power and minimum guaranteed power. This parameter change allows the system to adapt to different operational conditions while satisfying both interference control and coverage requirements
2Reliability
If transmit power is increased to ensure minimum coverage, then communication quality is improved, but interference with cellular signals increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by using minimum guaranteed power only when necessary (when TPC commands would reduce power below coverage requirements). Otherwise, the system uses TPC-adjusted power to minimize interference. This selective application optimizes both communication quality and interference control
3Adaptability or versatility
If power footroom is reported to eNB, then resource allocation flexibility is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by having the UE report power footroom information to the eNB. This feedback mechanism enables the network to make informed resource allocation decisions while the UE maintains relatively simple local processing to calculate and report the power footroom values
