TRANSMIT POWER CONTROL IN A RANDOM ACCESS SCHEME

摘要

A method and control device for generating a transmit power level for a communication apparatus (1, 2) for operation in a wireless communication network having a network node (3). The control device comprises a controller (14) adapted to generate a request message for requesting access to a communication channel, to be transmitted to the network node (3). The control device is also adapted to determine whether access to the communication channel has been granted in response to the request message. A transmit power control unit (13) is adapted to generate a transmit power level for the communication apparatus (1, 2) in dependence of whether access to the communication channel has been granted.
