A method, apparatus and computer-readable storage medium for use in a communications system wherein the transmit power of a wireless link is adjusted so that link performance meets a target level. The method consists of dynamically adjusting the target level as a function of the traffic characteristics of the link. It may be executed at a base station or mobile unit. To perform the method, the apparatus or storage medium (a) computes a threshold instantaneous performance parameter as a first function of a measured instantaneous performance parameter, a measured instantaneous bit rate and at least one target error performance parameter; and (b) generates a power control command based upon a second function of the measured instantaneous performance parameter and the threshold instantaneous performance parameter. This provides a smoothing effect of the interference induced to other users and may result in increased cell capacity.
A method of generating power control commands for transmission to a source unit communicating with a destination unit, the method comprising, at the destination unit:
A computer-readable storage medium which, when processed by a computer at a destination unit, executes a sequence of steps to generate a power control command for transmission to a source unit communicating with the destination unit, the steps comprising:
A statistical power control block for use in a destination unit communicating with at least one source unit, comprising:
A functional unit for generating power control commands, comprising:
