Patent ID: 8254297

Claim:
A mobile communication system in which a base station transmits to a terminal packet data for HSDPA (high speed downlink packet access) through a HS-PDSCH (high speed physical downlink shared channel) and decode information for decoding said packet data of said HS-PDSCH through a HS-SCCH (high speed shared control channel), and said terminal transmits to said base station decoding status of said HS-PDSCH through a HS-DPCCH (high speed dedicated control channel) a sub-frame of said HS-DPCCH including HARQ-ACK (hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment) information in which said decoding status of said HS-PDSCH is indicated by ACK (acknowledgement)/NACK (negative acknowledgment)/DTX (discontinuous transmission), said base station comprising: a detector that detects said decoding status of said HS-PDSCH from said HS-DPCCH received from said terminal; and a decision unit that counts a number of times that said ACK/NACK inserted in said HARQ-ACK information has been consecutively detected based on a detection result of said detector, and decreases transmission power of said HS-SCCH constituting a pair with said HS-PDSCH through which said packet data is retransmitted, by an amount corresponding to the number of times that said ACK/NACK has been consecutively detected, wherein where said ACK/NACK has been consecutively detected n times, said transmission power of said HS-SCCH is decreased by a predetermined value, wherein where said ACK/NACK has been consecutively detected n+m times, said transmission power of said HS-SCCH is decreased by a first multiple of said predetermined value, said first multiple being greater than one, wherein where said ACK/NACK has been consecutive detected n+m+k times, said transmission power of said HS-SCCH is decreased by a second multiple of said predetermined value, said second multiple being greater than said first multiple, wherein where said DTX has been detected, said transmission power of said HS-SCCH is increased by said predetermined value, and wherein where k, m, and n are positive integers, and n is greater than one.
