Method and system for controlling transmission power of a downlink signaling channel based on enhanced uplink transmission failure statistics

Abstract
A method and system for controlling the transmission power of at least one downlink (DL) enhanced uplink (EU) signaling channel such that enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) DL signaling is delivered efficiently and reliably. The system includes at least one wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), at least one Node-B and a radio network controller (RNC). At least one of the WTRU and the Node-B compute EU transmission failure statistics on the DL EU signaling channel and report the EU transmission failure statistics to the RNC. The RNC then adjusts a transmission power offset of the DL EU signaling channel to be used in determining transmission power level of the DL EU signaling channel at the Node-B based on the EU transmission failure statistics.
