Title: Outer loop/weighted open loop power control in a time division duplex communication system
Inventor: DICK STEPHEN G
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2000-03-22
Abstract: Outer loop/weighted open loop power control controls transmission power levels in a spread spectrum time division duplex communication station. A  first communication station transmits a communication to a second communication station. The second station receives the communication and measures its received power level. Based on in part the received communication's power level and the communication's transmission power level, a path loss estimate is determined. A quality of the path loss estimate is also determined. The transmission power level for a communication from the second station to the first station is based on in part weighting the path loss estimate in response to the estimate's quality.
