Abstract

A reverse power control method allows a base station to control transmission power of terminals. To this end, the base station sets a threshold value for the reverse power control, determines the number of the terminals requiring an increase in the transmission power and compares the determined number with the threshold value. If the determined number is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the base station commands the terminals to reduce the transmission power. However, if the determined number is smaller than the threshold value, the base station commands the terminals to increase the transmission power.
