Moment decision for packet data transmission based on analysis of power control commands

摘要

The invention relates to a method for transmitting packet data in a radio system, the radio system comprising at least one base station and at least one subscriber terminal and a downlink power control arrangement, in which power control arrangement the quality of a signal transmitted by the base station is evaluated and, on the basis of this evaluation, power control commands are transmitted to the base station. The method comprises analysing (302) the power control commands received by the base station, searching (304) for one or more transmission moments, on the basis of the analysis, that satisfy the set conditions for packet-switched data transmission, and if at least one transmission moment is found that satisfies the set conditions, transmitting (306) packet data to at least one subscriber terminal at least at one transmission moment that satisfies the set conditions.
