Patent ID: 8346290

Claim:
A method comprising: selectively setting transmitter power of a mobile electronic device based in part on a signal-to-interference-power ratio, wherein the signal-to-interference-power ratio is based on signals transmitted from base stations of different cells based also in part on a balance of power transmitted by at least one mobile station near cell edge and power transmitted by at least one mobile station closer to cell center, target mean received power by a base station from at least one mobile station near cell center, target mean power transmitted from at least one mobile station near cell edge, channel gain, and a weighting parameter, wherein the selectively setting transmitter power of a mobile station comprises determining: P tx = min ⁡ ( P max , ( 1 - γ ) ⁢ P 0 + γ ⁢ ⁢ P 1 ⁢ SIR DL g ) .
