Methods for Improving Uplink Communications in a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (Wcdma) Communication System
First Claim
1. A method in a mobile terminal for improving uplink communications in a wireless communication system, wherein a mobile terminal can transmit at various transmission power levels, said method comprising the steps of:
- receiving, by said mobile terminal, a configuration message comprising at least one of a power offset parameter and a maximum number of retransmission attempts parameter; and
, when said mobile terminal performs a non-scheduled transmission, perform said transmission according to said at least one power offset parameter and said maximum number of retransmission attempts parameter contained in said configuration message.

Abstract
Methods for improving uplink communications in a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) communication system, wherein mobile terminals can transmit at various transmission power levels. In a mobile terminal, the method includes the steps of receiving a configuration message having at least one of a power offset parameter and a maximum number of retransmission attempts parameter; when the mobile terminal performs a non-scheduled transmission, it transmits according to the parameters contained in the configuration message. In a network node, the method includes the steps of transmitting to at least one mobile terminal the configuration message having at least one of a power offset parameter and a maximum number of retransmission attempts parameter; and, adjusting a power setting for the transmission of acknowledgement or negative-acknowledgement messages from the wireless network to one or more of mobile terminals.
