Method and apparatus for selecting a serving sector and adjusting transmission power

摘要

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate performing scalable transmission power offsets for an access terminal to ensure that a listening base station can hear a signal transmitted from the access terminal.
A method of selecting a serving sector and performing transmission power adjustment for an access terminal in a wireless communication environment is described, the method comprising:
receiving parameters associated with a plurality of received signals at the access terminal from a plurality of base stations;
selecting a new serving sector based upon the parameters;
determining an adjustable power offset based upon the parameters; and
applying the adjustable power offset to a signal transmitted from the access point.
