Abstract
A method (400) and a mobile station (160) for controlling communication via a radio link based on a multi-slot based power class designation are described herein. The mobile station (160) may provide a multi-slot based power class designation to the communication network (110) to establish a radio link for communication service. The designation may be associated with a power level of the mobile station (160) and a number of slots corresponding to the power level. Based on the designation, the mobile station (160) may communicate with the communication network (110) via the radio link.

22. In a wireless communication system, wherein a communication network is operable to provide communication services to a mobile station, a method for preventing overheating of a transmitting unit within the mobile station, the method comprising:
-
transmitting a multi-slot based power class designation to the communication network, the multi-slot based power class designation being associated with a power level of the mobile station and a number of slots corresponding to the power level;
receiving an assignment message from the communication network based on the multi-slot based power class designation, the assignment message including an assigned power level and an assigned number of slots;
transmitting data from the transmitting unit to communication network via an uplink based on the assigned power level and the assigned number of slots;
monitoring the temperature of the transmitting unit during transmission of data to the communication network via the uplink;
suspending transmission of data to the communication network via the uplink in response to detecting the temperature of the transmitting unit exceeding an overheat threshold, the overheat threshold being associated with a condition suggesting overheating of the transmitting unit; and
resuming communication with the communication network via the uplink in response to detecting the temperature of the transmitting unit being below the overheat threshold.
