Claim:
1. A method for wireless communications, comprising: providing independent closed-loop power controls for each of two or more carriers from a set of packet access signals; receiving, over a first carrier of the two or more carriers, one or more first radio power control (RPC) commands indicating whether to increase or decrease transmit power; receiving, over a second carrier of the two or more carriers, one or more second RPC commands indicating whether to increase or decrease transmit power; monitoring power across the two or more carriers based at least in part on receiving the one or more first RPC commands over the first carrier and receiving the one or more second RPC commands over the second carrier to determine power levels for the set of packet access signals; automatically scaling at least one of the independent closed-loop power controls in view of the power levels for the set of packet access signals and in view of the one or more first RPC commands and the one or more second RPC commands; and concurrently adjusting power for a group of carriers based at least in part on the automatically scaling at least one of the independent closed-loop power controls, wherein the group of carriers comprises at least two of the two or more carriers, and wherein concurrently adjusting the power for the group of carriers includes locking the power for at least one carrier in the group of carriers when the power reaches a minimum power while scaling the power for at least another carrier in the group of carriers.
