Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for managing power control of enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) uplink (UL) channels of at least one user equipment (UE) that is located on a femtocell base station (FBS), is provided herein. The method includes calculating, for the UE, a maximum dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH) power level. The method also includes lower, by the FBS, a DPCCH power level for the UE when the actual DPCCH power level is exceeding the maximum DPCCH power level for the UE. The lowering of the DPCCH power level is independent of a signal-to-interference (SIR) target for the FBS.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for managing power control of an enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) uplink (UL) channel for user equipment (UE) that is located on a femtocell base station (FBS), the method comprising: calculating, by the FBS, a first dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH) power level based on a difference between a Received Total Wideband Power (RTWP) level and a chip to DPCCH power ratio; and lowering, by the FBS, a second DPCCH power level to the UE when t…
