Power level arbitration between base station and mobile station in mobile communication system

摘要

A method for controlling transmission power of radio links between a base station and a mobile station. The method comprises (a) assigning one or more forward and reverse traffic channels and dedicated control channels to the base station and the mobile station, respectively, and controlling transmission power of the forward and reverse traffic channels and dedicated control channels so that the base station and mobile station can receive data; (b) releasing the traffic channels and continuing the control of transmission power for the forward and reverse dedicated control channels, when there is no data to be transmitted for a predetermined time; (c) discontinuing the transmission power control of the dedicated control channels, when data to be transmitted/received is not generated for a further predetermined time; and (d) for power level arbitration, re-controlling the transmission power of the forward and reverse dedicated control channels in a state defined by step (c) by adjusting the transmission power with which the data can be received.
