Abstract:
A method for forward power control in a mobile telecommunication system which comprises a radio frequency transmitter/receiver unit for performing power control data transmission/reception operations, a multi-mode demodulator board assembly (MMDA) for generating forward power control data, and a multi-user modulator board assembly (MUMA) for adjusting a power level of an associated base station according to the forward power control data generated by said MMDA, said method comprising the steps of:(a) allowing said MMDA to analyze a power control command, received by said radio frequency transmitter/receiver unit over a pilot channel, and generate said forward power control data as a result of the analysis; (b) allowing said MMDA to transfer the generated forward power control data to said MUMA over a power control bus; and (c) allowing said MUMA to receive said forward power control data from said MMDA over said power control bus and adjust a power level of the associated base station according to a value of the received forward power control data.
