Power control for communications systems utilizing high speed shared channels
First Claim
1. A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
- a receiver operatively coupled to a processor, the receiver and processor configured to receive a first signal over a first channel, power commands for a second channel, and power commands for a third channel;
the processor configured to determine a transmission power level of the second channel in response to the second channel power commands and not the third channel power commands, and to determine a transmission power level of the third channel in response to the third channel power commands and not the second channel power commands; and
a transmitter operatively coupled to the processor, the transmitter and the processor configured to transmit in a transmission time interval at least one of a second signal over the second channel at a power level based on the determined transmission power level of the second channel and a third signal over the third channel at a power level based on the determined transmission power level of the third channel;
wherein acknowledgments and negative acknowledgements to signals received over the first channel are sent on the third channel; and
wherein the third channel is an uplink shared channel.

Abstract
A method and apparatus are described for controlling transmitter power in a wireless communication system in which both dedicated and shared channels are utilized. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive a first channel (e.g., downlink shared channel), power commands for a second channel (e.g., dedicated channel) and power commands for a third channel (e.g., uplink shared channel). The WTRU may transmit in a transmission time interval at least one of the second channel and the third channel. Acknowledgments and negative acknowledgements to signals received over the first channel may be sent on the third channel. The WTRU may determine a transmission power level of the second channel in response to the second channel power commands and not the third channel power commands. The WTRU may determine a transmission power level of the third channel in response to the third channel power commands and not the second channel power commands.

17. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), a first signal over a first channel, power commands for a second channel and power commands for a third channel; determining, by the WTRU, a transmission power level of the second channel in response to the second channel power commands and not the third channel power commands, and to determine a transmission power level of the third channel in response to the third channel power commands and not the second channel power commands; and transmitting, by the WTRU, in a transmission time interval at least one of a second signal over the second channel at a power level based on the determined transmission power level of the second channel and a third signal over the third channel at a power level based on the determined transmission power level of the third channel;
wherein acknowledgments and negative acknowledgements to signals received over the first channel are sent on the third channel; and
wherein the third channel is an uplink shared channel. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
