Question: What is the primary objective of Downlink (DL) power control in a Base Station (BS), as it relates to User Equipment (UE) reception?
Option 1: To maximize BS transmission power for broader coverage
Option 2: To minimize intercell interference while achieving a target Signal-to-Interference Ratio (SIR) at the UE receiver
Option 3: To adjust the UE's receiver sensitivity to match the BS's transmission power
Option 4: To solely prioritize increasing the data throughput for all connected UEs
Explanation: The correct answer, Option 2, highlights the dual goal of DL power control: maintaining a sufficient SIR at the UE (ensuring quality reception) while limiting intercell interference (preventing disruptions to neighboring cells). This balance is crucial for efficient and effective wireless communication. The other options misrepresent the primary objective by either focusing on a single aspect (coverage, UE adjustment, or throughput) without considering the nuanced balance required in DL power control.
