TECHNIQUES FOR DETERMINING TRANSMISSION FORMAT FOR COMPRESSED MODE IN SYSTEMS WITH BROADBAND ACCESS HAVING CODE CHANNEL SEPARATION (VARIANTS)

摘要

Techniques for determining valid (i.e., supported) TFCs from among all configured TFCs for normal and compressed modes. These techniques maintain sufficient historical information such that "TPC qualification" may be accurately performed. In a first scheme, Tx_power_requirement states are maintained for different combinations of each TFC. One combination is applicable for each TFC at each TFC interval, and valid TFCs are determined from applicable combinations in the proper state(s). In a second scheme, two Tx_power_requirement states arc maintained for each TFC for the normal and compressed modes. In a third scheme, a single Tx_power. requirement stale is maintained for each TFC for both modes based on a particular relative power requirement. In a fourth scheme, Tx_power_requirement states are maintained for a set of relative "bins" that cover the total range of required transmit power for all TFCs. And in a fifth scheme, a set of relative power requirement thresholds are maintained.
