First Claim
1. A method of rate and power control in a communication system comprising:
- assigning a target channel condition metric to be met at a first communication terminal for signaling received from each of one or more remote communication terminals of the communication system, each communication terminal supporting a plurality of rates and a plurality of transmit power levels, each target channel condition metric based upon the type of service supported by each of the one or more remote communication terminals;
receiving a signal at the first communication terminal from each of the one or more remote communication terminals; and
adjusting a respective target channel condition metric assigned for a respective one of the one or more remote communication terminals in response to signal information generated from the received signal from the respective one of the one or more remote communication terminals.

Abstract
A rate and power control algorithm for a communication system, the algorithm including the steps of: assigning a target channel condition metric to be met at a first terminal for signaling received from each of one or more remote terminals of the system, each terminal supporting a plurality of rates and a plurality of transmit power levels, each target channel condition metric based upon the type of service supported by each remote terminal; receiving a signal at the first terminal from each remote terminal; and adjusting a respective target channel condition metric assigned for a respective remote terminal in response to signal information generated from the received signal. In variations, the algorithm is performed in a distributed manner by different cells of a communication system and at least two of the remote terminals support traffic of different types of service.
