Abstract:
1. A method that facilitates controlling reverse link power in a wireless communication environment, comprising: generating, with a wireless communications apparatus that serves a sector in which at least one served mobile device resides, a reverse link assignment assigning bounds for adjustment of a delta value based upon a quality of service (QoS) class to the at least one served mobile device, wherein the QoS class defines performance requirements for delivery of communications between the at least one served mobile device and the wireless communications apparatus; transmitting, with the wireless communications apparatus, the reverse link assignment to the at least one served mobile device; monitoring, with the wireless communications apparatus, reverse link interference from mobile devices in neighboring sectors; and based on the monitored reverse link interference from the mobile devices in neighboring sectors, broadcasting an other sector interference (OSI) indication with the wireless communications apparatus to adjust reverse link power levels of the mobile devices in neighboring sectors.
