Method of measuring receive power of CDMA mobile communication system, and CDMA mobile communication system

A CDMA mobile communication system, comprising:

• one or more mobile stations communicating with one or more base stations in one or more cells, wherein at least one of said one or more mobile stations is prohibited from transmitting an uplink signal including a frame over a first channel during a predetermined transmission prohibition period;
• and
• at least one of said one or more base stations measuring a receive power of uplink signals transmitted from the at least one of said one or more mobile stations during the predetermined transmission prohibition period.

A CDMA mobile communication system, comprising:

• one or more mobile stations communicating with a base station in a cell;
• and
• a base station, which measures a first receive power of uplink signals transmitted from each of the one or more mobile stations located in the cell and each second receive power of uplink signal including a frame only over a first channel transmitted from each of the one or more mobile stations, and calculates a total receive power of uplink signals excluding frames over the first channel by subtracting each second receive power from the first receive power.

A base station for a CDMA mobile communication system, comprising:

• a receive power measuring unit, which measures a receive power of uplink signals transmitted from one or more mobile stations located in a cell during a predetermined transmission prohibition period,
• wherein a timing of the predetermined transmission prohibition period is assigned corresponding to each transmit timing of downlink frames transmitted from the base station, and the mobile station is prohibited from transmitting an uplink signal including a frame over a predetermined channel during the predetermined transmission prohibition period.

A set of base stations for a CDMA mobile communication system, wherein each base station in said set

• measures a receive power of uplink signals transmitted from one or more mobile stations located in a cell, and
• measures a receive power of uplink signals transmitted from a mobile station located in the cell during a predetermined transmission prohibition period for which the mobile station is prohibited from transmitting an uplink signal including a frame over a first channel, and
• wherein a timing of the predetermined transmission prohibition period assigned by a first base station in the set of base stations is synchronized to a timing of a second predetermined transmission prohibition period assigned by a second base station in the set of base stations.

A set of base stations for a CDMA mobile communication system, wherein each base station in said set

• measures a receive power of uplink signals transmitted from one or mobile stations located in a cell, and
• measures a receive power of uplink signals transmitted from a mobile station located in the cell during a predetermined transmission prohibition period for which the mobile station is prohibited from transmitting an uplink signal including a frame over a first channel, and
• wherein a timing of the predetermined transmission prohibition period assigned by a first base station in the set of base stations is asynchronous to a timing of a second predetermined transmission prohibition period assigned by a second base in the set of base stations.

A base station for a CDMA mobile communication system, comprising:

• a receive power measuring unit, which measures a first receive power of uplink signals transmitted from one or more mobile stations located in a cell, and measures each second receive power of an uplink signal including a frame only over a first channel transmitted from one or more mobile stations;
• and
• a receive power calculating unit, which calculates a total receive power of uplink signals excluding frames over the first channel by subtracting each second receive power from the first receive power.
