METHOD FOR CONTROLLING POWER AND TRANSMISSION RATE OF A SHARED FORWARD LINK DATA CHANNEL IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method for controlling power of a shared forward link data channel for multicasting in a mobile communication system. The method includes the steps of initializing a virtual gain for each mobile terminal with which the shared forward link data channel is established, receiving power control request information from each mobile terminal to adjust the virtual gain of each mobile terminal, selecting a largest virtual gain among the adjusted virtual gains as a control power value of the shared forward link data channel, and regulating the power of the shared forward link data channel to the selected control power value.
