METHOD FOR TRANSMISSION POWER CONTROL BASED ON EVALUATION OF A REVERSE ACTIVITY BIT AND DATA FLOW SPECIFIC UPWARD/DOWNWARD RAMPING FUNCTIONS, AND CORRESPONDING WIRELESS ACCESS TERMINAL

摘要

A method for transmitting a packet comprising: a) selecting a payload size from a power profile (2502), b) identifying a power level associated with the selected payload size for a transmission mode of the packet (2504), c) determining whether the transmission conditions are satisfied if said packet is transmitted with the selected payload size and said power level (2506), d) transmitting said packet if said conditions are satisfied (2508), e) selecting a different payload size and returning to step b otherwise (2510). A first method for obtaining current power allocation for flows on an access terminal comprising: - receiving a grant message having at least one current power allocation grant from a scheduler, and - setting current power allocation for a corresponding flow equal to said at least one current power allocation grant in said grant message. A second method for obtaining current power allocation for flows on an access terminal comprising: - determining whether a current power allocation grant for a flow has been received from an access node, and - autonomously determining the current power allocation for the flow if the current power allocation grant for a flow has not been received from an access node.
