Controlling power and access of wireless devices to base stations which use code division multiple access

A base station for controlling the power transmitted by a plurality of wireless devices of mixed types comprising:

• a transmitting antenna;
• a receiving antenna;
• and
• a processor for receiving a signal from the receiving antenna, for recognizing the type of a particular wireless device which is transmitting the signal, wherein the type of the particular wireless device is at least partially defined by the quality of service requirement of the particular wireless device, and for producing a control signal which is sent to and transmitted by the transmitting antenna, the control signal containing control data based on the recognized type of the particular wireless device which may be utilized by the particular wireless device to control the power transmitted to the base station by the particular wireless device.

A method for controlling the power transmitted by wireless devices of mixed types comprising:

• receiving at a base station a data signal from a particular wireless device;
• determining at the base station the type of the particular wireless device, wherein the type of the particular wireless device is at least partially defined by the data rate of the particular wireless device;
• and
• sending a control signal from the base station to control the power transmitted by the particular wireless device based on the determination of the type of the particular wireless device.
