First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for processing a control channel at a user agent (UA) to identify power control commands within a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of, at a user agent:
- monitoring for power control messages on a single carrier;
decoding a message received on the single carrier to generate decoded information; and
using the decoded information to identify a power control command for each of at least first and second carriers.
