METHOD FOR TRANSMISSION POWER CONTROL BASED ON EVALUATION OF A REVERSE ACTIVITY BIT AND DATA FLOW SPECIFIC UPWARD/DOWNWARD RAMPING FUNCTIONS, AND CORRESPONDING WIRELESS ACCESS TERMINAL

摘要

An access terminal (206) is configured for wireless communication with an access network (204) within a sector (1032). The access terminal (206) includes a transmitter (2608) for transmitting a reverse traffic channel to the access network (204), an antenna (2614) for receiving signals from the access network (204), a processor (2602) and memory (2604) in electronic communication with the processor (2602). Instructions are stored in the memory (2604). The instructions are arranged to estimate a current value of a reverse activity bit (1444) transmitted by the access network (204). Per flow power allocation may be decreased on increased based on an estimated current value of the reverse activity bit.
