POWER CONTROL IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS DURING HAND-OVER

摘要

A method and devices are provided for adapting the transmission power level of a mobile terminal during a handover phase at which the mobile terminal switches from one base station to another. The method provided comprises applying values of operating parameters that characterize both base stations and adapting the transmission power level to an acceptable level at which communications transmitted from the terminal to the second station would be properly received without applying further increase in the transmission power while ensuring that the communications transmitted by the mobile terminal to the second base station, will not cause severe interference to communications exchanged between the second base station and the other terminals communicating therewith.
