LEISTUNGSREGELUNG MIT KOMBINATION AUS OFFENER SCHLEIFE/GESCHLOSSENER SCHLEIFE IN EINEM DRAHTLOSEN KOMMUNIKATIONSSYSTEM

摘要

A method, system and apparatus for setting a transmit power control level in a wireless communication system. Aspects of both open loop and closed loop transmit power control schemes are used to determine a transmit power level. A method includes measuring a power level of a received signal, receiving a transmit power control (TPC) command, and calculating a transmit power level based on the path loss and the TPC command. The TPC command sent to the remote transceiver from the base station includes a step indicator. The step indicator value is based on whether a measured received interference value is greater than or less than a target interference value at the base station. The power level for the remote transceiver is based on the path loss and the step indicator value.
