Patent ID: 7894380

Claim:
A terminal power control method, comprising: A. obtaining, by a terminal, a quality parameter of a received signal, receiving power of a code channel occupied by the terminal and powers of code channels in a cell having the same carrier frequency and the same time slot as those of the code channel occupied by the terminal respectively, according to a received signal quality; B. determining a minimum receiving power which is permitted by the code channel occupied by the terminal according to the power of the code channels in the cell having the same carrier frequency and the same time slot as those of the code channel occupied by the terminal wherein the determining includes preconfiguring or predesignating, via a signaling, a power difference threshold between different code channels; obtaining a maximum code channel power in the cell having the same carrier frequency and the same time slot as those of the code channel occupied by the terminal; and taking a difference between the maximum code channel power and the power difference threshold between different code channels as the minimum receiving power which is permitted by the code channel occupied by the terminal; and C. generating a power control command according to a determined minimum receiving power, the receiving power of the code channel occupied by the terminal and the quality parameter of the received signal.
