Abstract

A wireless communication terminal having a power control function of an access probe using a neighbor set list includes a compensation value providing unit configured to provide a compensation value corresponding to the number of neighbor base stations, a control unit configured to transmit the compensation value provided from the compensation value providing unit into an access probe control unit, and an access probe control unit configured to control a power level of an access probe with the compensation value transmitted from the control unit.

Claims

1. A wireless communication terminal having a power control function of an access probe using a neighbor set list, the terminal comprising:

a compensation value providing unit configured to provide a compensation value corresponding to the number of neighbor base stations;

a control unit configured to transmit the compensation value provided from the compensation value providing unit into an access probe control unit; and

an access probe control unit configured to control a power level of an access probe with the compensation value transmitted from the control unit.

2. The wireless communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the compensation value providing unit comprises:

a neighbor set list configured to record the number of neighbor base stations;

a neighbor set list renewal unit configured to renew the neighbor set list in communication with the neighbor base station; and

a compensation value storage unit configured to store the compensation value corresponding to the number of the neighbor base stations.

3. The wireless communication terminal according to claim 2, wherein the neighbor set list renewal unit renews the neighbor set list in communication with a neighbor base station of a PN (Pseudo Noise) overlapping region.

4. The wireless communication terminal according to claim 2, wherein the compensation value storage unit stores the compensation value corresponding to the number of the neighbor base stations obtained from an apparatus equipped with a DM (Diagnostic Monitor) program.

5. A method for controlling output of an access probe using a neighbor set list in a wireless communication terminal, the method comprising:

providing a compensation value corresponding to the number of neighbor base stations; and

controlling a power level of an access probe with the provided compensation value.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the compensation value providing step comprises:

storing a compensation value corresponding to the number of neighbor base stations in a compensation table;

renewing the neighbor set list by recording the number of the neighbor base stations; and

providing the compensation value corresponding to the number of the neighbor base stations recorded in the neighbor set list.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the step of renewing the neighbor set list includes recording the number of neighbor base stations of a PN (Pseudo Noise) overlapping region in the neighbor set list.

8. The method according to claim 6, wherein the step of storing the compensation value includes storing the compensation value corresponding to the number of the neighbor base stations obtained from an apparatus equipped with a DM (Diagnostic Monitor) program.
