2. 2 Proposed simulation configuration Keep the power of one OFDMA symbol an constant K for all of the pilot structures. So there is no power fluctuation among symbols. For those pilot structures with one pilot/antenna on any OFDMA symbol in a subframe, data power keep as 1 and pilot boost A dB. For example, Intel’s 18*6 pilot structure. For those pilot structures with one pilot/antenna on some OFDMA symbols in a subframe: On the symbol with pilot, data power is 1 and pilot boost A dB; on the symbol without pilot, data power is K/number of data tones. For example, Intel’s 6*6 pilot structure. For those with more than one pilots/antenna on an OFDMA symbol : At the antenna with pilot, data power is 1 and pilot boost B dB; At the antenna without pilot, data power is K/number of data tones. That is, On the symbol with pilot, data power is 1 and pilot boost B dB at the antenna with pilot, and data power is K/number of data tones at the antenna without pilot. On the symbol without pilot, data power is K/number of data tones. For example, ZTE’s 18*6 and 6*6 pilot structures.

But when we use the power allocation scheme aforementioned in the last slide, that is, keep the total power of a symbol as constant, we get the tables in slide 4. Slide 5 and 6 give the linear power set for Intel, Mediatek, NSN and LGE’s 6×6 tiles according to the method in slide 2 where Intel’s pilot boost 3dB.

Keep the power of one OFDMA symbol an constant K for all of the pilot structures. So there is no power fluctuation among symbols. for 18×6 RU ： –Intel UL pilots boost 7.5dB(linear value 5.623). Data power is 1. –ZTE UL pilots boost 3.44dB(linear value 2.207). In OFDMA symbols without pilot,data power is 1.201. In OFDMA symbols with pilot, data power is 1 at the antenna with pilot and 1.441 at the antenna without pilot.
