Abstract
A method for processing a control channel at a user agent (UA) to identify power control commands within a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of, at a user agent, monitoring for power control messages on a single carrier, decoding a message received on the single carrier to generate decoded information and using the decoded information to identify a power control command for each of at least first and second carriers.
Claims17
A method for processing a control channel at a user agent (UA) to identify power control commands within a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of, at a user agent:
- monitoring for power control messages on a single carrier;
- decoding a message received on the single carrier to generate decoded information;
- and
- using the decoded information to identify a power control command for each of at least first and second carriers.
An apparatus for processing a control channel at a user agent (UA) to identify per carrier power control commands within a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor programmed to perform the steps of:
- monitoring for power control messages on a single carrier;
- decoding a message received on the single carrier to generate decoded information;
- and
- using the decoded information to identify a power control command for each of at least first and second carriers.
A method for processing a control channel at an access device to transmit power control commands within a wireless communication system to a user agent (UA), the method comprising, at an access device:
- preparing a power control message that includes power control commands for at least first and second carriers;
- and
- transmitting the power control message to the user agent via a single carrier.
