A method for determining a threshold value for controlling output power of a mobile communication terminal in a W-CDMA system, includes: calculating a first value by dividing an average energy per a PN chip of downlink DPCCH by a total received power spectral density of downlink; calculating a second value by dividing the total received power spectral density of downlink by a white noise power spectral density; calculating a chip unit SIR by adding the first and second values; and determining a symbol unit threshold value for controlling ON/OFF of terminal output power by adding the chip unit SIR and a processing gain according to the number of chips per symbol. Accordingly, a symbol unit threshold value for controlling output power can be easily determined irrespective of a value of a data rate and a spreading factor. |
