Motivation (1/3)
▪ Currently, the power control formula in the 802.16m system
can be described as [1]
P  L SINRTARGET  NI  Offset ,
– P is the TX power level per stream and per subcarrier for the current
transmission
– L is the estimated average DL propagation loss calculated by AMS
– SINRTARGET is the target uplink SINR received by ABS
– NI is the estimated average power level of the noise and interference
per subcarrier at ABS
– Offset is a correction term for MS-specific power offset and it is
controlled by the power control message

Motivation (2/3)
▪ ABS monitors the quality of specific uplink channel by
checking the information in the fast feedback channel
(FFBCH) of certain user
– FFBCH periodicity determines how frequently ABS tracks the
channel change
– FFBCH periodicity is decided by feedback allocation A-MAP-IE
(FA-A-MAP-IE)
▪ Power offset is used to track the channel variation if ABS
feels there is a need to do that

Motivation (3/3)
▪ There are two schemes used to deliver the power offset value
to AMS
– Via power control (PC) A-MAP-IE
• Power control commands for several AMS could be aggregated and
delivered via PC-A-MAP-IE and AMS should be able to identify the
address of its power control command inside PC-A-MAP-IE
• PC-A-MAP-IE provides a small scale power adjustment
• The periodicity of PC-A-MAP-IE is the same as that of the feedback
channel, which is decided by FA-A-MAP-IE
– Via power control adjustment message (AAI-UL-POWER-ADJ)
• It provides a large power jump to quickly adopt to the environment
change
• It is one of the MAC control messages signaled by the downlink (DL)
basic A-A-MAP-IE to a specific user

Problem Statement
▪ When ABS observes a huge power gap in the uplink, it may
like to do the following two things
– Send a AAI-UL-POWER-ADJ message to MS
– Monitor closely to the channel variation
• Additional feedback allocation A-MAP IE is necessary
▪ It would be great to combine these two messages to save
some signal overhead without requiring extra resource

Capacity Analysis of AAI-UL-POWER-ADJ (1/2)
▪ The content of AAI-UL-POWER-ADJ includes
– AAI-UL-POWER-ADJ ::=
SEQUENCE{
INTEGER (0,…,63),
INTEGER (0,…,63)
• offsetDATA
• offsetCONTROL
}
▪ The total number of information bits inside AAI-ULPOWER-ADJ is 20 bits, including a 8-bit message type,
which is not shown, and we need to append additional 16-bit
CRC for integrity check
▪ As a result, the overall payload size is 36-bit in total.

6
Capacity Analysis of AAI-UL-POWER-ADJ (2/2)
▪ The minimum size of information bits indicated by DL basic
A-A-MAP-IE is 72 bits, which corresponds to idx equal to 3
– i.e., idx = IMinimalSize+ISizeOffset=1+2
▪ Note that we need one additional bit to signal the presence of
FA-A-MAP-IE information in AAI-UL-POWER-ADJ
▪ Therefore, there are 35 information bits remained

7
Capacity Analysis of Feedback Allocation A-MAP-IE
▪ The number of information bits in FA-A-MAP-IE without CRC is limited
by 40-bit.
▪ Some of the IEs in FA-A-MAP-IE are redundant and can be removed
when both FA-A-MAP-IE and AAI-UL-POWER-ADJ are combined
– For example:
• A-MAP-IE Type (4-bit)
• ACK Allocation Flag (1-bit)
• HARQ Feedback Allocation (HFA) (6-bit)
▪ Therefore, the size of remaining elements in FA-A-MAP-IE excluding AMAP-IE Type, ACK Allocation Flag and HFA is upper bounded by 29bit.
▪ It is possible to combine these two messages without extra resource

▪ The updated content of AAI-UL-POWER-ADJ includes
– ---ASN.1START
AAI-UL-POWER-ADJ ::= SEQUENCE{
• messageType
• offsetDATA
• offsetCONTROL
• feedbackControlInfoIE
}
FeedbackControlInfo ::= SEQUENCE{
•
channelIndex
•
shortTermFeedbackPeriod
•
longTermFeedbackPeriod

subframeIndex
•
allocationDuration
}
---ASN.1STOP

INTEGER (0..7)
Proposed Solution (2/2)
▪
feedbackPeriodicityControlFlag: Indicates if additional FFBCH periodicity control parameters
exist in AAI_UL_POWER_ADJ
▪
channelIndex: Uniquely identifies a fast feedback channel on which an AMS can transmit fast
feedback information. With this allocation, a one-to-one relationship is established between
channel index and the AMS
▪
shortTermFeedbackPeriod: Short-term feedback is transmitted on the FBCH every 2p frames,
where p is the value specified by shortTermFeedbackPeriod
▪
longTermFeedbackPeriod: Long-term feedback is transmitted on the FBCH every 2q short-term
feedback reports are transmitted, where q is the value specified by longTermFeedbackPeriod.
If q = 0b00, long-term feedback is not used
▪
frameOffsetNumber: The AMS starts reporting at the frame of which the number has the same
3 LBS as the specified frame number. If the current frame is specified, the AMS starts
reporting in eight frames
▪
subframeIndex: Indicates the UL AAI subframe index in the UL portion of the frame
▪
allocationDuration: An FBCH is transmitted on the FBCH channels indexed by Channel Index
for 8×2d frames, where d is the value given by allocationDuration. If d = 0b000, the FBCH is
deallocated. If d = 0b111, the AM reports until the ABS command for the AMS to stop
Remarks
▪ In this contribution, we suggest to combine both
AAI_UL_POWER_ADJ message and FA-A-MAP-IE as a
new AAI_UL_POWER_ADJ message so that AMS can
adjust not only the transmit power but also the feedback
periodicity of AMS at the same time without additional
resource
▪ Since not all the control parameters from FA-A-MAP-IE are
included in the new AAI_UL_POWER_ADJ message, only
feedback periodicity and duration are updated while the other
feedback mechanisms, such as MIMO mode, are kept the
same as specified in the latest FA-A-MAP-IE
