Abstract
A method of estimating path loss for a channel between a user equipment and a base station of a wireless communication system, the method performed at the base station and comprising the steps of: measuring (302) a signal power PSDrx for a received signal transmitted from the user equipment to the base station on the channel; and estimating (304) a path loss PL*, based on the measured signal power PSDrx and a path loss compensation value α associated with the base station. A base station and a computer readable medium is also described.
Claims22
A method of estimating path loss for a channel between a user equipment and a base station of a wireless communication system, the method performed at the base station and comprising:
- measuring a signal power for a received signal transmitted from the user equipment to the base station on the channel, and
- estimating a path loss for the channel, based on the measured signal power and a path loss compensation value associated with the base station.
A base station configured to estimate path loss for a channel between the base station and a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising a processing unit configured to:
- measure a signal power for a received signal transmitted from the user equipment to the base station on the channel, and
- estimate a path loss, based on the measured signal power and a path loss compensation value associated with the base station.
A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium and comprising a computer program instructions that, when run by a processing unit of a base station, cause the base station to estimate path loss for a channel between the base station and a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the computer program instructions causing the base station to:
- measure a signal power for a received signal transmitted from the user equipment to the base station on the channel, and
- estimate a path loss, based on the measured signal power and a path loss compensation value associated with the base station.
