Method and system for dynamic adjustment of CDMA wireless device power levels

A method for controlling transmitted power of wireless devices within a sector of a base station of a code division multiple access communication system, the method comprising:

• estimating rate of movement of each of the wireless devices;
• comparing the rate of movement of each of the wireless devices to a given rate of movement threshold;
• setting the transmitted power of a wireless device to a high power level if the rate of movement of the wireless device is greater than the given rate of movement threshold.

A code division multiple access communication system, the system comprising:

• a plurality of wireless devices;
• and
• a base station operable to transmit and receive data signals with the wireless devices, the base station further operable to estimate rate of movement of a wireless device and then compare the rate of movement of the wireless device to a given rate of movement threshold interval, the base station further operable to set the transmitted power of the wireless device to a power level corresponding to the given rate of movement threshold interval if the rate of movement of the wireless device falls within the given rate of movement threshold interval.
