POWER CONTROL IN A CDMA MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method and apparatus for controlling transmission power levels in a CDMA cellular communication system are disclosed, whereby a third (middle) control loop (30) is interposed between an inner loop (40) and an outer loop (20) to form a cascaded power control loop (10). Certain quality indicators are coupled to the outer loop (20) and middle loop (30). The outer loop (20) produces a quality target value for the middle loop (30). The middle loop (30) produces the SIR target value.
