Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a cellular radio system the power control status of a mobile station is used in the base stations to generate power control commands. Hereby a radio base station can select a power control method that is optimal for the situation at hand. This is obtained by communicating power control status to base stations or deriving power control status in a radio base station. The radio base station is adapted to select power control method based on the power control status. Thus, a base station can select the most suitable power control improvement method, even during soft handover, thereby make use of the advantages of different types of power control improvement methods.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of generating power control commands in a radio base station to control the transmission power of a connected mobile station, comprising: receiving or determining a power control status corresponding to the extent to which power control commands are currently followed by the connected mobile station, the power control status being based on a sequence of previously generated power control commands; and generating power control commands using…
