Abstract:
1. A method for uplink power control implemented in a wireless communications system including one or more user equipments, a serving base station, and at least one neighboring base station, the method comprising: measuring, at each user equipment, pathloss; sending, from each user equipment to the serving base station, the pathloss; and determining, at the serving base station, uplink transmit power based on the pathloss, measuring, at said at least one neighboring base station, interference power on a resource block sent to the serving base station; computing, at the serving base station, an average interference power for each user equipment; determining, at the serving base station, a neighboring base station most strongly interfered by each user equipment; and setting, at the serving base station, a power adjustment based on a target interference power and an average maximum interference power.
