Power control outer loop for communication channels with discontinuous transmission (DTX)
First Claim
1. In a communication device having discontinuous transmission (DTX) detection, a method of providing outer loop power control comprising:
- estimating a number of erroneous frame detections; and
adjusting a power control setpoint associated with the outer loop power control wherein the adjustment is determined at least in part by the estimated number of erroneous frame detections.

Abstract
Novel techniques are disclosed for adjusting a power control setpoint to compensate for imperfect signal detection in a communication channel capable of discontinuous transmission (DTX). The power control setpoint is compensated for false detections by adjusting the power control setpoint by a dynamically determined setpoint back off amount upon detection of a Good frame. The amount of the setpoint back off is a function of the measured signal quality of the detected Good frame and the number of Erasure indications received immediately preceding the Good frame indication.
