Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling transmit power in a mobile wireless device connected simultaneously to two or more cells in a wireless network are described. The mobile wireless device is connected simultaneously to a first cell in the wireless network through a high speed data connection and to a second cell in the wireless network through a low speed voice connection. The mobile wireless device executes received transmit power up and transmit power down control commands received from the first cell. The mobile wireless device executes transmit power up control commands and ignores transmit power down control commands received from the second cell.
Claims15
A method, comprising:
- at a mobile wireless device,
- when the mobile wireless device is connected simultaneously to a first cell in a wireless network through a high speed data connection and to a second cell in the wireless network through a low speed connection:
- executing transmit power up and transmit power down control commands received from the first cell;
- and
- executing transmit power up control commands received from the second cell while ignoring transmit power down control commands received from the second cell.
A wireless mobile device, comprising:
- a transceiver simultaneously connecting the mobile wireless device to a first cell in a wireless network through a high speed data connection and to a second cell in the wireless network through a low speed connection;
- and
- a processor executing:
- transmit power up and transmit power down control commands received from the first cell;
- and
- transmit power up control commands received from the second cell while ignoring transmit power down control commands received from the second cell.
A non-transitory computer program product encoded in a non-transitory computer readable medium for controlling transmit power in a mobile wireless device connected to a wireless network, non-transitory computer program product configured to:
- simultaneously connect the mobile wireless device to a first cell in a wireless network through a high speed data connection and to a second cell in the wireless network through a low speed connection;
- execute transmit power up and transmit power down control commands received from the first cell;
- and
- execute transmit power up control commands received from the second cell while ignoring transmit power down control commands received from the second cell.
