Abstract:
A method for presetting power levels in a radiocommunication system, said system including at least a first and a second base stations in communication with a set of mobile stations, at least a subset of said set in communication with both said first and second base stations, including:transmitting signals from said first base station to mobile stations associated with said first station using a respective power level, and transmitting signals from said second base station to mobile stations associated with said second station using a respective power level, wherein said first and second base stations transmit substantially the same information to mobile stations within said subset of mobile stations;detecting a change in said set of mobile stations;determining a plurality of power adjustment values for application to each said respective power level to compensate for said detected change in said set of mobile stations; wherein said determining step includes determining a power adjustment value for said subset of mobile stations by independently performing a power adjustment computation with respect to said mobile stations associated with said first base station, and a power adjustment computation with respect to said mobile stations associated with said second base station.
