METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DYNAMIC SWITCHING, UPLINK POWER CONTROL AND SYNCHRONIZATION IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

Dynamic switching of uplink power control and synchronization in wireless networks involves switching a user equipment (UE) from a transmission point common (TP-common) mode to a transmission point specific (TP-specific) mode in a wireless network. The UE transmits at a high power level in a TP-common mode to compensate for a larger path loss between the UE and the TPs and at a low power level in a TP-specific mode to save battery power based on a smaller path loss between the UE and a specific, nearby TP.
