Patent ID: 7274947

Claim:
A method of transmission power control for a transmitting wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) that transmits successive data sets in a forward channel where the transmitting WTRU is configured to make forward channel power adjustments as a function of characteristics of the data sets as received over the forward channel, the method comprising: sequentially receiving successive data sets transmitted from the transmitting WTRU on the forward channel; successively computing transmit power control signals for the transmitting WTRU's forward channel power adjustments based on the characteristics of each of the data sets received on the forward channel; successively computing a bias error value based on the cumulative characteristics of the data set signals received on the forward channel; and in advance of each successive data set after the transmission of a first data set, adjusting forward channel power as a function of the most recently computed transmit power control signal and most recently computed bias error value.
