Patent ID: 7558593

Claim:
Outer loop power control method for wireless communication systems, based on Code Division Multiple Access, which: from a data signal ( 107 , 108 ) received in a communication of a service comprising at least one transmission (N) originating from a base station ( 102 , 103 ) or a mobile station ( 104 ), establishes a target signal to interference ratio (SIR target ) as the sum of two components, a first component (SIR outage-tgt ) and a second component (SIR BLER-tgt ), characterised in that, at the start of the transmission (N), it sets: the initial value of said transmission (N) for the second component (SIR BLER-tgt ) equal to the average of the values of said second component (SIR BLER-tgt ) during at least one previous transmission (N−1) of the same service.
