TDMA communication system having enhanced power control
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for controlling power in a wireless TDMA system, comprising:
- receiving a decoding error signal from a receiver indicative of a number of data decoding errors detected by a receiver for a decoding error reporting period;
receiving a link quality measurement value from the receiver for a link quality reporting period;
increasing a power control target by an up step interval or decreasing the power control target by a down step interval based upon the decoding error signal; and
adjusting a signal transmission power based upon the link quality measurement.

Abstract
A TDMA wireless communication system adjusts the power control target and transmission power based upon link quality to enhance voice capacity. The power can be adjusted in response to the average SNIR and number of decoding errors in a link quality reporting period. The power control target can be increased and decreased in discrete intervals after evaluating the number of decoding errors in the reporting period. The transmission power can be adjusted towards the new power control target based upon the average SNIR.

11. A method for controlling power in an EGPRS system, comprising:
-
providing a first loop for adjusting a signal transmission power based upon a link quality measure received from a receiver for each link quality reporting period; and
providing a second loop for adjusting a power control target based upon a decoding error signal received from the receiver for each decoding error reporting period. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
