Transmission power level regulation for high priority wireless calls
First Claim
1. A method for regulating transmission power levels for wireless calls, said method comprising:
- (a) determining whether or not a mobile station (MS) is outside a service area of a wireless telecommunications network;
(b) detecting whether or not a call placed by the MS is a priority call;
(c) setting a transmission power level of the MS in response to the MS being outside the service area of the wireless network and detecting that the call placed by the MS is a priority call;
(d) transmitting call set-up signaling from the MS at the transmission power level set for the MS;
(e) determining whether or not a base station (BS) of the wireless network receives the call set-up signaling from the MS;
(f) setting a transmission power level of the BS in response to the BS receiving the call set-up signaling from the MS; and
,(g) transmitting a reply to the call set-up signaling from the BS at the transmission power level set for the BS.

Abstract
A method is provided for regulating transmission power levels for wireless calls. The method includes: determining whether or not a mobile station (MS) (90) is outside a service area of a wireless telecommunications network (70); detecting whether or not a call placed by the MS (90) is a priority call; setting a transmission power level of the MS (90) in response to the MS (90) being outside the service area of the wireless network (70) and detecting that the call placed by the MS (90) is a priority call; transmitting call set-up signaling from the MS (90) at the transmission power level set for the MS (90); determining whether or not a base station (BS) (82) of the wireless network (70) receives the call set-up signaling from the MS (90); setting a transmission power level of the BS (82) in response to the BS (82) receiving the call set-up signaling from the MS (90); and, transmitting a reply to the call set-up signaling from the BS (82) at the transmission power level set for the BS (82).

12. In a wireless telecommunications network, a system for regulating transmission power levels for wireless calls, said system comprising:
-
first determining means for determining whether or not a mobile station (MS) is outside a service area of a wireless telecommunications network; detecting means for detecting whether or not a call placed by the MS is a priority call; first power level setting means for setting a transmission power level of the MS in response to the MS being outside the service area of the wireless network and detecting that the call placed by the MS is a priority call; first transmitting means for transmitting call set-up signaling from the MS at the transmission power level set by the first power level setting means; second determining means for determining whether or not a base station (BS) of the wireless network receives the call set-up signaling from the MS; second power level setting means for setting a transmission power level of the BS in response to the BS receiving the call set-up signaling from the first transmitting means; and
,second transmitting means for transmitting a reply to the call set-up signaling, said reply being transmitted by the second transmitting means from the BS at the transmission power level set by the second power level setting means. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
