OUTER LOOP POWER CONTROL FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

摘要

A method, system, and components for outer loop power control (500) particularly useful for non-real time data services uses data transmitted in many short bursts of short duration, called Temp-DCH allocations (509). A target metric, preferably target SIR (502), is adjusted with differing step up and step down target metric adjustments. The initial target SIR (502) and the transient step size for target SIR adjustment (505-507) is determined in a dynamic way in the outer loop power control for each Temp-DCH allocation (509) of non-real time data.
