IMPROVED PATH LOSS MEASUREMENTS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS.

摘要

A method for determining uplink power requirements for a transceiver in a wireless communications system includes obtaining measurements from a beacon signal (406) occupying a first timeslot in a frame; obtaining measurements from at least one additional channel (108) having a known transmitted signal strength and occupying a second timeslot in the frame; and utilizing the measurements to determine a path loss estimate (110).
