Transmission power control method

摘要

Disclosed is a transmission power control method in a wireless communication system in which power allocated to a pilot signal can be varied to at least a first power and a second power. The method includes the steps of measuring reception quality using power of a receive pilot signal and power of an interference signal thereof when reception quality is measured with regard to whichever of the larger of the first power and second power is allocated; measuring reception quality using the power of the receive pilot signal and overall reception power when reception quality is measured with regard to whichever of the smaller of the first power and second power is allocated; and sending a transmission power control signal to a transmitting side in such a manner that the measured reception quality will agree with a target reception quality.
