Adjusting the transmission power of a forward access channel (FACH), and a corresponding network for mobile telecommunications

摘要

A method is provided in a network for mobile telecommunications of adjusting the transmission power of a Forward Access Channel (FACH) from a base station to a mobile user terminal. The method comprises the steps of: the base station sending a signal at a first transmission power level to the mobile user terminal, the mobile user terminal sending a report of one or more parameter values dependent upon measured signal quality upon a predetermined reporting criterion being met, and the base station adjusting its transmission power to the mobile user terminal in consequence so as to maintain the measured signal quality within acceptable limits. <IMAGE>
