Abstract:
1. Method for controlling an interference level generated by a mobile station communicating with a current base station on at least a neighbor base station in a wireless communication system, comprising at least steps: A: selecting at least one neighbor base station; B: estimating a first attenuation value representative of signal attenuation level between the mobile station and the current base station, and at least a second attenuation value correlated to said at least one neighbor base station selected in step A and representative of signal attenuation level between the mobile station and the correlated neighbor base station; C′: estimating a first received signal strength by measuring power level of a signal received by the current base station from the mobile station; C″: estimating the interference level from the relation: I_level=BS D: comparing the interference level to a reference interference level, and according to the result of the comparison, sending to the mobile station at least information relative to a maximum transmitted signal strength for the mobile station.
