METHOD FOR UPDATING FORWARD POWER CONTROL IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method for updating power control at a base transceiver station in a communication system is provided. A base transceiver station transmits a signal frame. A mobile station receives the signal frame. The mobile station determines whether the signal frame was accurately received and sets a metric bit in a quality metric. The metric bit indicates whether the signal frame was received correctly by the mobile station. The mobile station transmits the quality metric, which is received by the base transceiver station. It is then determined whether to update power control, the determination based at least in part upon the quality metric.
