Power control for a wireless communication system utilizing orthogonal multiplexing

An apparatus for performing power control for a wireless terminal in a wireless communication system, comprising:

• an adjustment unit configured to adjust transmit power for a first transmission sent on a first set of at least one frequency subband of a first channel by the wireless terminal to a serving base station designated to receive the first transmission, wherein the transmit power for the first transmission is adjusted to achieve a target received signal quality (SNR) for the first transmission at the serving base station, and to adjust transmit power for a second transmission sent on a second set of at least one frequency subband of a second channel by the wireless terminal to the serving base station, wherein the transmit power for the second transmission is adjusted based on the transmit power for the first transmission and a transmit power delta.

An apparatus for performing power control for a wireless terminal in a wireless communication system, comprising:

• means for adjusting transmit power for a first transmission sent on a first set of at least one frequency subband of a first channel by the wireless terminal to a serving base station designated to receive the first transmission, wherein the transmit power for the first transmission is adjusted to achieve a target received signal quality (SNR) for the first transmission at the serving base station;
• and
• means for adjusting transmit power for a second transmission sent on a second set of at least one frequency subband of a second channel by the wireless terminal to the serving base station, wherein the transmit power for the second transmission is adjusted based on the transmit power for the first transmission and a transmit power delta.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code, which, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform operations for power control for a wireless terminal in a wireless communication system, the computer-readable medium comprising:

• code for adjusting transmit power for a first transmission sent on a first set of at least one frequency subband of a first channel by the wireless terminal to a serving base station designated to receive the first transmission, wherein the transmit power for the first transmission is adjusted to achieve a target received signal quality (SNR) for the first transmission at the serving base station;
• and
• code for adjusting transmit power for a second transmission sent on a second set of at least one frequency subband of a second channel by the wireless terminal to the serving base station, wherein the transmit power for the second transmission is adjusted based on the transmit power for the first transmission and a transmit power delta.
