Abstract:
In a communication system including a transmitter for transmitting a first type of data and a second type of data wherein the second type of data is punctured into the first type of data, and wherein the transmission energy of said first type of data is varied in accordance upon the rate of said first type of data and wherein the transmission energy of said second type of data does not vary in accordance with the rate of said first type of data, a power control system for controlling the transmission energy of said first type of data and said second type of data comprising:receiver means for receiving said first type of data and said second type of data; de-multiplexer means for separating said second type of data from said first type of data; means for measuring an energy of said second type of data to provide an indication of an energy of said second type of data as received at the receiver means; and power control processor means for receiving said indication of the energy of said second type of data and for generating a power control command for said transmission energy of said first type of data in accordance with said indication of the energy of said second type of data.
