Abstract
A method and apparatus for calculating an initial transmission power in a mobile telecommunications system is disclosed, the system comprising a network of a plurality of cells and at least one user equipment device. The user equipment device receives broadcast system information, and measures a signal power. An initial transmission power is calculated in a lowest logical layer of the system defined as a protocol stack, using the received information and measured power.
Claims11
A method for calculating an initial transmission power in a mobile telecommunications system, the system comprising a network of a plurality of cells and at least one user equipment device, and said system defining a protocol stack including a lower physical layer L1, the method comprising, in the user equipment:
- receiving broadcast system information;
- measuring a signal power;
- and
- in L1, calculating the initial transmission power from said broadcast system information and said measured signal power.
A computer program product comprising code means stored on a computer readable medium, said computer program product for calculating an initial transmission power in a mobile telecommunications system, the system comprising a network of a plurality of cells and at least one user equipment device, said system defining a protocol stack including a lower physical layer L1, said code means being adapted to:
- receive broadcast system information;
- measure a signal power;
- and
- in L1, calculate the initial transmission power from said broadcast system information and said measured signal power.
An apparatus for calculating an initial transmission power in a mobile telecommunications system, the system comprising a network of a plurality of cells and at least one user equipment device, said system defining a protocol stack including a lower physical layer L1, said apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing software executable by said processor, said software being adapted to:
- receive broadcast system information;
- measure a signal power;
- and
- in L1, calculate the initial transmission power from said broadcast system information and said measured signal power.
