The open loop component is also called Fractional Power Control (FPC) because it allows the User Equipment (UE) to partially compensate for the path loss. This report focuses on fractional power control which is characterized by two main parameters: a target received power and a fractional compensation factor. Results are presented which show user throughput, cell mean throughput, cell edge user throughput, and SINR are key performance indicators of fractional power control.enAvailable to the World Wide Webproject
