Digital and Analog Power Control for an OFDMA/CDMA Access Terminal

摘要

Aspects describe controlling a power level for an access terminal in a wireless communication system that utilizes multiple modulation waveforms. The power can be controlled after an Access Grant is received in response to an Access Probe until the mobile device transitions into a steady state. A reference power can be continuously monitored and a setting of a power amplifier can be modified only when the reference power changes. A digital gain of a reverse data channel can be adjusted relative to the reference power level.
