Disclosed herein are methods that enable a sending entity and a receiving entity, operating in a wireless communication network, to adjust transmission power at the sending entity according to one of two power control modes. One method provides for a continuous power control mode in which the sending entity begins transmission of a particular data flow at a power level responsive to a most recently received power adjustment command. Another method provides for a per-flow power control mode in which the sending entity begins transmission of a particular data flow at a power level responsive to the most recent transmission power level of the different particular data flow. Further methods provide for the receiving entity to dynamically instruct the sending entity in which power control mode to operate. |
