Power Control Algorithm In LTE Uplink
Abstract—Uplink power control is a key radio resource management function. It is typically used to maximize the power of the desired received signals while limiting the generated interference. This paper presents the 3GPP long Term Evolution (LTE) power control mechanism, and compares its performance to two reference mechanisms. TD-LTE communications systems are interference limitation systems,The use of power control technology demonstrate the superiority of TD-LTE. Power control is the key technology Resource Allocation Management and interference management, The effective Power Control algorithm reduce the mutual interference of UE, In the case of satisfying the quality of communication of each user , Minimize the emission power, So as to reduce interfere,increase the capacity of system, prolong the standby time of mobilephone.

ⅡPOWER CONTROL
The LTE uplink is orthogonal, meaning that there is, at least in the ideal case, no interference between users in the same cell but only interference between cells[1]. The amount of interference generated to neighbor cells depends, among other things, on the mobile-terminal position, or more specifically the pathgain from the terminal to these cells.Terminals close to neighbor cells generate more interference than terminals far away. For a given generated interference level in a neighbor cell, terminals far away from that cell may hence transmit with a higher power than terminals near the cell[2]. Further, there is a correlation between being close to the serving cell and being far away from neighbor cells. All these characteristics are utilized in the LTE uplink power control. The orthogonal LTE uplink allows multiplexing of terminals with different received uplink power within the same cell. On the short term scale this means that peaks in multipath fading may be utilized through scheduling and link adaptation to increase the data rates, rather than compensated for by reducing power[3]. On the long-term, the received power target is further set based on the pathgain to the serving cell, so that terminals that generate little interference may have a larger received power target.
