Power control during a transmission pause
First Claim
1. A method for adjusting a transmission power level of a transmitter after commencement of a discontinuous transmission, the method comprising:
- receiving a reference signal during discontinuous transmission;
determining a change in channel conditions during discontinuous transmission using the reference signal;
adjusting the transmission power level in response to the change in channel conditions.

Abstract
A transmitting station performs closed loop power control prior to a transmission pause. A closed loop transmission power level prior to the pause is determined. A reference signal is received and a received power level of the reference signal prior to and during the transmission pause is determined. The measured reference signal received power levels are compared to a transmit power level of the reference signals to produce a pathloss estimate of the reference signal prior to and during the transmission pause. A new transmit power level is determined by adjusting the closed loop transmission power level by a change between the prior to and during pathloss estimates. A transmission power level of the transmitting station is set to the determined new transmit power level. A communication is transmitted at the set transmission power level.
