Apparatus and method for controlling power of a forward common power control channel in a mobile communication system

摘要

A method for controlling power of common power control channels from a plurality of base stations in order to control transmission power of a mobile station in a mobile communication system. The power control method comprises receiving, by the mobile station, pilot signals from the base stations and selecting a base station that transmitted a pilot signal having a highest power level; transmitting information indicating a channel condition between the selected base station and the mobile station, from the mobile station to the selected base station; and controlling power of a common power control channel transmitted from the selected base station to the mobile based on the channel condition information received from the selected base station.
