Method of adjusting a signal quality target to be reached in power control procedures in a CDMA radio communication network and a corresponding transceiver
First Claim
1. A method of adjusting a signal quality target at a transceiver of a code division multiple access (CDMA) radio communication network, said transceiver receiving a signal carrying a frame structure, each frame being divided into slots, said signal quality target ensuring that a predefined frame quality target is reached in power control procedures, said method comprising:
- computing for a received frame, a frame quality indicator depending on signal quality indicators measured slot by slot in said received frame; and
adjusting said signal quality target according to the difference between said frame quality indicator and said predefined frame quality target;
wherein said frame quality indicator depends on variations of said signal quality indicators measured slot-by-slot in said received frame, said variations being represented by a value related to a standard deviation of said signal quality indicators measured slot-by-slot in said received frame.

Abstract
A method of adjusting a signal quality target at a transceiver of a CDMA radio communication network. The adjustment of the signal quality target ensures that a predefined frame quality target is reached in power control procedure. According to the invention, the method consists in computing for a received frame, a frame quality indicator depending on signal quality indicators measured at slot level in the received frame. The method further comprises a step of adjusting the signal quality target according to the difference between the frame quality indicator and the predefined frame quality target.
