METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CALCULATING AN INITIAL TRANSMISSIONPOWER IN UNIVERSAL MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM USER EQUIPMENT

摘要

A method and apparatus for calculating an initial transmission power in a mobile telecommunications system is disclosed, the system comprising a network of a plurality of cells and at least one user equipment device. The user equipment device receives broadcast system information, and measures a signal power. An initial transmission power is calculated in a lowest logical layer of the system defined as a protocol stack, using the received information and measured power.
