Abstract:
1. A method for adjusting transmitted power in a channel over an adjustment period having a plurality of slots, each slot having an associated slot number, comprising: dividing the adjustment period into a plurality of segments, each segment having a defined number of slots and a corresponding segment number; determining a power target value for each segment, wherein the power target value varies linearly based on the segment number; calculating an applied correction value to be added to a given slot; adding the applied correction value to the given slot if adding the applied correction value to an accumulative adjustment value brings the accumulative adjustment value toward the power target value; dividing a total correction value by the number of segments in the adjustment period to determine a segment power target value corresponding to a power correction to be applied to each segment; detecting whether the given slot is a first slot in a given segment; and adding the segment power target value to a previous power target value to obtain the power target value for the given segment.
