Abstract
In a power control messaging scheme for wireless communication, a wireless node sends vectorized information to another wireless node that uses the information to control its transmit power. In some aspects, the vectorized information may relate to interference observed at a wireless node. In some aspects, the vectorized information may relate to power adjustment offsets. In some aspects, the information may be vectorized based on one or more of different quality of service classes, different assignments within a frame, different permutation zones, different channel differences, different locations of a wireless node, different channel types, different other sector interference values, and different assignment sizes. In some aspects, a wireless node transmits a power control message via an uplink map in an assignment message.
