Power allocation for power control bits in a cellular network
First Claim
1. A method for allocating power to a forward link power control channel, the method being implemented by a base station, the method comprising:
- determining that early-termination information is available;
using the early-termination information to determine an effective data rate;
using the effective data rate to determine a forward link signal strength value; and
determining a power allocation value for power control information that is transmitted from the base station to a remote station based on the forward link signal strength value.

Abstract
A power allocation value for power control information transmitted from a first station to a plurality of stations is determined by receiving data rate control information from the plurality of stations in a communications system. Supplemental information relating to the data rate control information is then generated, and an improved signal strength value is produced in accordance with the supplemental information. The power allocation value for the power control information transmitted from the first station to the plurality of stations is determined in accordance with the improved signal strength value.
