Abstract:
1. A method of controlling communications that may include high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) traffic, comprising the steps of: setting a first power limit and a second power limit, the first power limit being below an allowable power limit, the second power limit being below the first power limit; determining whether there is any HSDPA traffic; using a controller for selecting one of the first power limit or the second power limit, the controller selecting the first power limit for non-HSDPA traffic when there is no HSDPA traffic and the controller selecting the second power limit for non-HSDPA traffic when there is HSDPA traffic; allocating at least a minimum HSDPA power to any HSDPA traffic; and allocating more than the minimum HSDPA power to any HSDPA traffic if a current non-HSDPA power level is below the allowable power limit by more than the minimum HSDPA power; wherein the minimum HSDPA power is greater than a difference between the first power limit and the allowable power limit.
