Abstract

A method for managing forward link power control within a code-division multiple access mobile telephone communication network is disclosed. A mobile telephone communication network constantly monitors for a frame erasure reported by a mobile telephone. In response to the detection of a frame erasure, the mobile telephone's digital gain assigned to the mobile telephone by the mobile telephone communication network is increased by a step-up value to close the forward link. This step-up value may be different each time depending on the speed and position of the mobile telephone. Afterwards, the digital gain is continuously reduced in an exponential manner until another frame erasure is reported.
