Method, base station, computer medium and processor for controlling the transmission energy of forward link signals

摘要

A method for a base station is disclosed for controlling the transmission energy of forward link signals comprising the steps of receiving a potentially gated reverse link signal including forward link power control bits, determining whether said power control bits have been gated out, and adjusting forward link transmission energy in accordance with said forward link power control bits only when said determination as to whether said forward link power control bits have been gated out indicates that said power control bits have not been gated out.
