First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of power control, comprising:
- determining a transmit power profile comprising a transmit power parameter for an access terminal associated with a first access point to mitigate interference caused by the access terminal at a second access point, wherein the transmit power profile is periodic; and
sending the transmit power parameter to the access terminal.

Abstract
Interference that occurs during wireless communication may be managed through the use of fractional reuse and other techniques. In some aspects fractional reuse may relate to HARQ interlaces, portions of a timeslot, frequency spectrum, and spreading codes. Interference may be managed through the use of a transmit power profile and/or an attenuation profile. Interference also may be managed through the use of power management-related techniques.
