PATHLOSS AIDED CLOSED LOOP POWER CONTROL

摘要

A transmitting station receives a transmit power command and a reference signal. The transmit power command indicates an increase or decrease in transmission power for the transmitting station. A received power level of the reference signal is measured and the measured reference signal received power level is compared to a transmit power level of the reference signal to produce a pathloss estimate of the reference signal. A size of a change in transmit power level is determined using the pathloss estimate. A transmission power level of the transmitting station is adjusted in response to the transmit power command in an amount of the determined change in size. A communication is transmitted at the adjusted transmission power level.
