Abstract:
A method of controlling transmitter power in a wireless communication system which combines multiple channels of user data at independent rates, at least one of which varies over time, into a signal having a rate N(t) where N(t) is a function of the rates of the multiple channels which are combined for transmission, in which the combined multichannel signal having rate N(t) is converted into a transmission data signal having a faster rate M(t) for transmission by a transmitter and in which the transmission power is adjusted on a relatively slow basis based on quality of data received by a receiver of the transmitted data characterized by:determining the transmitter scale factor as a function of N(t)/M(t) such that a change in the data rate in the multiple channels or the rate of the transmission data signal is compensated in advance of a quality of data based adjustment associated with such data rate change.
