1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, at a base station of a wireless network, an uplink status signal from a wireless device;
monitoring, at the base station, via communicative connectivity to one or more other base stations, one or more other uplink status signals received at the one or more other base stations from the wireless device;
assigning one or more weighting factors to the uplink status signals received at the base station and the one or more other base stations;
adding signal strengths for the uplink status signals having the one or more assigned weighting factors to determine a weighted sum value;
determining a first target received power parameter for the wireless device based, at least in part, on the weighted sum value; and
transmitting the first target received power parameter to the wireless device.

Abstract
Examples are disclosed for determining, at a base station, a target received power parameter for a wireless device in communication with the base station. In some examples, the target received power parameter may be determined based on one or more uplink status signals received from the wireless device at the base station and/or one or more other base stations. For these examples, the wireless device may adjust one or more transmit power levels responsive to receiving the target received power parameter from the base station. Other examples are described and claimed.

16. An apparatus for a base station comprising:
-
a processor circuit; an uplink status component arranged for execution by the processor circuit to periodically receive uplink status signals from a wireless device; a monitor component arranged for execution by the processor circuit to monitor via communicative connectivity to one or more other base stations, one or more other uplink status signals received at the one or more other base stations from the wireless device; and a parameter component arranged for execution by the processor circuit to periodically determine target received power parameters for the wireless device based, at least in part, on the periodically received uplink status signals and on the monitored one or more other uplink status signals received at the one or more other base stations, the parameter component arranged to assign one or more weighting factors to the uplink status signal currently received at the base station and the monitored one or more uplink status signals received at the one or more other base stations, add status signal strengths for the uplink status signals having the one or more assigned weighting factors to determine a weighted sum value, and determine the target received power parameter based on the weighted sum value. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. An apparatus for a base station comprising:
-
means for receiving an uplink status signal from a wireless device; means for receiving an indication that the wireless device has provided one or more other uplink status signals to one or more other base stations; means for obtaining via communicative connectivity to the one or more other base stations, information associated with the one or more other uplink status signals provided to the one or more other base stations; means for assigning one or more weighting factors to the uplink status signals received at the base station and the one or more other base stations; means for adding signal strengths for the uplink status signals having the one or more assigned weighting factors to determine a weighted sum value; means for determining a first target received power parameter for the wireless device based, at least in part, on the weighted sum value. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28)
