Abstract:
1. A method for long term evolution LTE uplink power control for communications between a plurality of both eNodeB and user equipment UE, said method comprising the steps of: measuring by user equipment UE downlink pathloss which is sent to an eNodeB that determines uplink UL transmit power based on the downlink pathloss, under an open loop power control that is selected; and measuring by a neighboring eNodeB interference power on each resource block that is sent to a serving eNodeB, the serving eNodeB computing an average interference power for each scheduled user and determines a most strongly interfered neighbor eNodeB by each UE, setting a power adjustment based on a target interference and an average maximum interference power, updating the power adjustment if a UE is not sufficiently scheduled and setting an uplink transmit power, under a closed loop power control that is selected.
