METHOD FOR GAIN CONTROL AND CORRESPONDING RECEIVING UNIT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for controlling a gain applied to signals which are transmitted by a transmitting unit via an air interface and received by a receiving unit. In order to overcome problems resulting from varying power levels of signals received by the receiving unit, it is proposed that it is determined before reception by said receiving unit for at least some of to be received signals an expected power level in said receiving unit. The determination is based on parameter values used by said transmitting unit for setting a transmission power for said at least some of said to be received signals, and which are known at the receiving unit. The gain is then adjusted based on said determined expected power level. The invention equally relates to a receiving unit with corresponding means, and to a communications network and a communications system comprising such a receiving unit.
