METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR POWER CONTROL IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

In a wireless communication system (10) having a composite transport channel made up of individual transport channels, a method for closed loop power control wherein multiple instances of the outer loop are performed in parallel. The method determines a Signal-to-Interference Ratio (SIR) threshold for the composite channel based on a channel quality metric evaluated for each of the individual channels. In one embodiment the channel quality metric is a Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC) outcome.
