<p>A method and apparatus for providing power control can be used in a mobile communication system having at least one mobile station (12) communicating over forward and reverse channels with at least one base station (16), and a base station controller (14) coupled to the base station (16). The mobile station (12) sends frame quality or error messages indicating a quality of the forward channel received from the base station (16). The base station (16) receives these messages and routes to the base station controller (14). In response to these messages, the base station determines a transmission power level of the signals transmitted therefrom to the mobile station (12). The base station controller (14), also in response to these messages, determines a correct transmission power level of the signals transmitted from the base station to the mobile station (12), and sends commands indicative of the power level to the base station (16). The base station (16) in turn then adjusts the power of its forward channel transmission signals to the mobile station (12) in response to these commands from the base station controller (14).</p> |
