Abstract
According to an embodiment of the invention, a method and apparatus are described to receive a signal, determine a quality of the received signal, and transmit a power control message, with a selected size, to request a modification in transmission power, the power control message being based at least in part on the quality of the received signal.
Claims62
A method comprising:
- receiving a signal;
- determining a quality of the received signal;
- and
- transmitting a power control message, with a selected size, to request a modification in transmission power, the power control message being based at least in part on the quality of the received signal.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- transmitting a signal;
- receiving a power control message, of a selected size, to request modification of transmission power level, the power control message being based at least in part on the quality of the signal,;
- and
- adjusting transmission power based at least in part on the received power control message.
1 more element
A signal comprising:
- a standard power control message, the standard power control message requesting that a transmission power level be increased or decreased by a predetermined amount;
- and
- an optional extended power control message, the extended power control message requesting that the transmission power level be increased or decreased by an amount specified by the extended power control message.
A radio unit comprising:
- a receiver to receive a first signal, the radio signal determining a quality of the first signal;
- and
- a transmitter to transmit a second signal, the second signal including a power control message of selectable size to request a modification in transmission power, the power control message being based at least in part on the quality of the first signal.
A radio unit comprising:
- a transmitter to transmit a first signal;
- and
- a receiver to receive a second signal, the second signal including a power control message of selectable size, the power control message being based at least in part on a quality of the first signal, the radio unit adjusting transmission power of the transmitter in response to the power control message.
