Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for improving the capacity of a reverse link by realizing a scheme to effect sharp changes in pilot channel transmit power (PCTP) and data channel to pilot power ratio (DCPR), coordinated with the start of the data channel transmission. The change in pilot power and data channel to pilot power ratio is also applicable to mobiles that use multiple pilots and/or multiple antennas at the transmitter and/or receiver.
Claims1
A communication method, comprising the steps of:
- transmitting stepped power control information;
- and
- transmitting pilot channel power information to be used during a scheduled transmission.
