Abstract:
1. A method, in a mobile station, of controlling uplink transmit power, the mobile station operating with scheduled uplink data transmissions, the method including: updating an uplink transmit power level for the mobile station based on received uplink power control commands; detecting a change in uplink scheduled status for the mobile station; and adjusting the updating of the uplink transmit power level to account for the detected change in uplink scheduled status, where said adjusting the updating of the uplink transmit power level includes: switching between a first transmit power level accumulator and a second transmit power level accumulator for controlling the uplink transmit power applied by the mobile station, where the first transmit power level accumulator controls the uplink transmit power applied by the mobile station during periods of time when the mobile station is not scheduled to transmit data and the second transmit power level accumulator controls the uplink transmit power applied by the mobile station during periods of time when the mobile station is scheduled to transmit data.
