To increase capacity in a spread spectrum packet communication system, a closed loop power control (CLPC) is provided for a common/shared downlink transport channel, such as a Forward Access Channel (FACH) and Downlink Shared Channel (DSCH), by using an existing uplink Common Packet Channel (CPCH) m
To increase capacity in a spread spectrum packet communication system, a closed loop power control (CLPC) is provided for a common/shared downlink transport channel, such as a Forward Access Channel (FACH) and Downlink Shared Channel (DSCH), by using an existing uplink Common Packet Channel (CPCH) mechanism. After an appropriate access phase and a collision detection phase, a mobile station sends its closed-loop power control information along with any packet data over the CPCH uplink channel. Concurrently, the base station (BS) begins its downlink transmission of data and control information to the mobile station (MS). The base station transmits the packet data through the common/shared downlink transport channel, and the power of that transmission is controlled in response to the control information sent by the MS. The power of the uplink transmission from the MS is controlled in response to the control information sent by the BS, for example via a dedicated downlink channel (DCH).
