<p>A method of selecting user equipment transmit power on a common uplink channel in a wireless telecommunications network, user equipment and a computer program product operable to perform the method. The common uplink channel is operable to support data traffic communication between the user equipment and at least one of a plurality of network access nodes. The method comprises:
determining a set of the plurality of network access nodes with which communication can be established;
calculating, based on received signals from network access nodes in the set, an indication of necessary user equipment transmit power for data traffic communication between the user equipment and each network access node in the set; and
selecting, based on the calculated indication of necessary user equipment transmit power for data traffic communication between the user equipment and each network access node in the set, a user equipment transmit power which corresponds to a largest value of the calculated indications. Accordingly, aspects described allow user equipment in a communication network to determine its preamble power in relation to more than one cell before setting the transmit power for a subsequent data traffic transmission. Such a method may enable the use of soft handover techniques whilst user equipment remains in a CELL_FACH RRC mode.</p> |
