A radio access network node (28) allocates cell downlink power to a set of channels (e.g., DPCH channels) and to a high-speed shared channel. The node does not, after allocating power for the set of channels, allocate the entirety of a remainder of the cell downlink power to the high-speed shared channel. Rather, the node reserves a power margin (PM) amount of a remainder of the cell downlink power for possible use during a future timeslot of a channel of the set. A marginalized remainder of the cell downlink power (the remainder of the cell downlink power less the margin amount) is allocated to the high-speed shared channel. The high-speed shared channel for which the power allocation can be made can be either the high-speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) or the high-speed shared control channel (HS-SCCH). |
