OUTER LOOP POWER CONTROL FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

摘要

A METHOD SYSTEM AND COMPONENTS FOR OUTER LOOP POWER CONTROL PARTICULARLY USEFUL FOR NON-REAL TIME/ REAL TIME DATA SERVICES USES DATA TRANSMITTED IN MANY BURSTS OF SHORT DURATION, CALLED TEMP-DCH ALLOCATIONS. A TARGET METRIC, PREFERABLY, TARGET SIR, IS ADJUSTED WITH DIFFERING SET UP AND DOWN LEVELS TO CONVERGE ON A RELATIVELY LOW STEADY STATE LEVEL (310) OF STEP UP AND STEP DOWN TARGET METRIC ADJUSTMENTS. THE INITIAL TARGET SIR AND THE TRANSIENT STEP SIZE FOR TARGET SIR ADJUSTMENTS IS DETERMINED IN A DYNAMIC WAY IN THE OUTER LOOP POWER CONTROL FOR EACH TEMP-DCH ALLOCATION OF NON-REAL TIME DATA.
