METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RELIABLE CONTROL CHANNEL PERFORMANCE

摘要

A method and apparatus is directed to achieving target error rates on a channel (130, 132) between a user equipment (120) and a network node (110). The method includes indicating an error event on a first channel between user equipment and a network node using a bit erasure. The method also includes controlling transmit power used by the user equipment on the first channel using predefined transmit power command values received by the user equipment on a second channel, wherein the second channel being between the user equipment and the network node. The transmit power is controlled based on the indicated error event to achieve a target error rate on the first channel.
