Power control gain of interfering transmitter

If the Power control option is activated in the scenario settings for Interfering transmitter (IT), the active transmit power of IT will be re-calculated in each snapshot depending on the signal strength between IT and Wanted Receiver (WR). The resulting IT transmit power is calculated as follows:

where is the IT signal power received at the WR:

The calculation of the power control gain applied at IT will depend on the three input parameters defined in the Power control section of the IT in the scenario:

  • - power control dynamic range (dB)
  • - power control step (dB)
  • - power control minimum threshold (in dBm, for signal received at WR)

Depending on the strength of the IT signal received at WR, the following three modes of power control operation are envisaged:

  • - i.e. the power of the received signal is less than the minimum threshold of power control, then the following will apply:


  • - i.e. the power of the received signal is within dynamic range of power control, then the following will apply:


where i is an integer ranging from 1 to n_steps =

  • - i.e. the power of the received signal exceeds the threshold more than the dynamic range of power control, then the following will apply:
