METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING NOISE POWER ESTIMATE IN A WCDMA NETWORK

摘要

A method for adjusting power in a mobile terminal is disclosed and may include determining a total transmit power control (TPC) command for a downlink channel based on a plurality of TPC commands. The plurality of TPC commands may be calculated based on a plurality of control channels. The transmit power may be adjusted based on the determined total TPC command. The plurality of control channels may include a dedicated physical channel and a common pilot channel. Noise power may be determined for each of the plurality of control channels. A TPC command may be determined based on the plurality of control channels. A reliability weight value may be determined for each of the plurality of TPC commands, based on the determined noise power for each of the plurality of control channels.
