Claim Text:
1. A power control method performed by a mobile communication terminal, the power control method comprising: determining a received signal code power of common pilot channel signals received from an individual base station on a common pilot channel in at least one time interval; performing a block error rate determination to determine a block error rate for transmissions received from the individual base station; and performing a downlink outer loop power control, wherein, in response to a connection setup, the downlink outer loop power control is performed in dependence on the determined received signal code power of the common pilot channel signals until the block error rate determination fulfills a convergence criterion, wherein determining the received signal code power comprises: wherein the downlink outer loop power control is performed in dependence on a comparison between the second received signal code power and the first received signal code power until the block error rate determination fulfills the convergence criterion.
