Outer loop power control for wireless communications
Abstract
An integrated circuit configured for outer loop power control uses data transmitted in temporary dedicated channel allocations. A target metric, preferably, target SIR, is adjusted with differing step up and step down increments to converge on a relatively low steady state level of step up and step down target metric adjustments. The initial target SIR and the transient step size for target SIR adjustment is determined in a dynamic way in the outer loop power control for each Temp-DCH allocation of non-real time data.
