METHODS AND ARRANGEMENTS RELATING TO A RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

In a TDMA based radio communication system different timeslot power control modes, including at least a normal mode timeslot power control mode and a synchronization power control mode, are applied for selectively controlling downlink transmission power levels of a plurality of timeslots on a downlink radio frequency carrier. Alternatively at least some digital symbols for synchronization in each burst transmitted in said plurality of timeslots on said downlink radio frequency carrier are transmitted at a transmission power level higher than or equal to the maximum transmission power level required by any mobile station currently assigned a timeslot on said radio frequency carrier.
