METHOD FOR TRANSMISSION POWER CONTROL BASED ON EVALUATION OFA REVERSE ACTIVITY BIT AND DATA FLOW SPECIFIC UPWARD/DOWNWARD RAMPING FUNCTIONS, AND CORRESPONDING WIRELESS ACCESS TERMINAL

摘要

An access terminal (206) is configured for wireless communication with an access network (204) within a sector (1032). The access terminal (206) includes a transmitter (2608) for transmitting a reverse traffic channel to the access network (204), an antenna (2614) for receiving signals from the access network (204), a processor (2602) and memory (2604) in electronic communication with the processor (2602). Instructions are stored in the memo ry (2604). The instructions are arranged to estimate a current value of a rever se activity bit (1444) transmitted by the access network (204). Per flow power allocation may be decreased on increased based on an estimated current value of the reverse activity bit.
