Coded reverse link messages for closed-loop power control of forward link control messages
First Claim
1. A field unit comprising:
- circuitry configured to receive a signal and determine whether the received signal has a predetermined quality;
circuitry configured to select a signal from a plurality of signals;
wherein the plurality of signals includes a first signal indicating that the field unit is requesting an assignment of resources and the received signal was received with the predetermined quality, a second signal indicating that the field unit is requesting an assignment of resources and the received signal was not received with the predetermined quality;
a third signal indicating that the field unit is not requesting an assignment of resources and the received signal was received with the predetermined quality, and a fourth signal indicating that the field unit is not requesting an assignment of resources and the received signal was not received with the predetermined quality; and
circuitry configured to transmit the selected signal over a control channel in a time interval that includes at least one time slot.
