METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSMIT POWER CONTROL MANAGEMENT IN HSPA

摘要

A method is provided for determining a transmission power control command in a User Equipment (UE) of a High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) network by combining Transmit Power Control (TPC) commands received during Discontinuous Transmission/Discontinuous Reception (DTX/DRX) modes. The combining is done on those TPC commands, which are received on different radio links after ignoring the TPC commands that might be received in a DownLink (DL) slot overlapping with no UpLink (UL) transmission. The UE using the combined TPC commands as derived for transmission of second UL Dedicated Physical Control CHannel (DPCCH) preamble and thereby leading to increase in link reliability and subsequent conservation of power by the UE.
