Communication System, Apparatus and Method of Operating a Communication System

摘要

A radio communication system comprises a first radio station (100) and one or more second radio stations (200). When transmitting a signal, the second radio station (200) employs power ramping to increase its transmit power up to a maximum value in a sequence of power steps. The first radio station (100) is able to control the maximum transmit power and rate of increase of transmit power of the second station (200) by transmitting indications of these parameters to the second station (200).
