Controlling uplink and downlink transmission power during asynchronous switching of control states by user equipment

摘要

A network node is disclosed that communicates with a user equipment node in a communications system. The network node repetitively transmits first uplink transmission power control, TPC, commands on a first physical channel with a first channel configuration while repetitively transmitting second uplink TPC commands on a second physical channel with a second channel configuration. The first and second uplink TPC commands control uplink transmission power from the user equipment node to the network node. Related user equipment nodes and methods are disclosed.

1. A network node of a communications system, the network node comprising:
a transceiver configured to communicate with a user equipment node, UE; and a controller circuit connected to the transceiver to transmit and receive, and is configured to repetitively transmit first uplink transmission power control, TPC, commands on a first physical channel with a first channel configuration while repetitively transmitting second uplink TPC commands on a second physical channel with a second channel configuration, wherein the first and second uplink TPC commands control uplink transmission power from the UE to the network node, and wherein the repetitive transmissions of the first uplink TPC commands on the first physical channel with the first channel configuration are performed concurrently with the repetitive transmissions of the second uplink TPC commands on the second physical channel with the second channel configuration.
