Patent ID: 8374190

Claim:
A Node B comprising: circuitry configured to receive a first Iub signal from a radio network controller (RNC) indicating a maximum transmit power level for all channel codes transmitted by the Node B; wherein the circuitry is further configured to receive a second Iub signal from the RNC indicating a maximum transmit power level for high speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) and high speed shared control channel (HS-SCCH) codes of the Node B for each time slot of a plurality of time slots in a time division duplex frame; wherein the circuitry is further configured to transmit at least the HS-DSCH and HS-SCCH codes in each slot at a power level that does not exceed the maximum transmit power level for HS-DSCH and HS-SCCH codes of the Node B; and wherein the circuitry is further configured to transmit an Iub signal to the RNC indicating a transmit power associated with wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) of the Node B.
