Reverse Link Power Control
First Claim
1. A method of performing reverse link power control in a mobile network having a plurality of first modem devices that receive and transmit signals to wireless access terminals (ATs) and a second device in communication with said plurality of first devices, said method comprising:
- deriving, by one of said first devices, a first power control threshold (PCT) value for reverse link power of one of said access terminals (ATs);
deriving, by said second device, a second power control threshold (PCT) value for reverse link power of said one of said ATs;
transmitting said second power control threshold (PCT) value using a data traffic path; and
selecting said first PCT value or said second PCT value.

Abstract
This description describes examples of performing reverse link power control in a mobile network having a plurality of first modem devices that receive and transmit signals to wireless access terminals (ATs) and a second device in communication with the plurality of first devices. One of the first devices derives a first power control threshold (PCT) value for reverse link power of one of the access terminals (ATs) and the second device derives a second power control threshold (PCT) value for reverse link power of the one of the ATs. The second power control threshold (PCT) value is transmitted using a data traffic path and either the first PCT value or the second PCT value is selected.

12. A system for performing reverse link power control, said system comprising:
-
a first modem device that receives and transmits signals to a wireless access terminal (AT), said first device configured to derive a first power control threshold (PCT) value for reverse link power of an AT; and a second device in communication with said first device over a network, said second device configured to derive a second power control threshold (PCT) value for reverse link power of said AT and to transmit said second power control threshold (PCT) value to said first device using a data traffic path. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

22. A computer program product, tangibly embodied in an information carrier, for performing reverse link power control in a mobile network having a plurality of first modem devices that receive and transmit signals to wireless access terminals (ATs) and a second device in communication with said plurality of first devices, the computer program product including instructions being operable to cause data processing apparatus to:
-
derive, by one of said first devices, a first power control threshold (PCT) value for reverse link power of one of said access terminals (ATs); derive, by said second device, a second power control threshold (PCT) value for reverse link power of said one of said ATs; transmit said second power control threshold (PCT) value using a data traffic path; and select said first PCT value or said second PCT value. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
