Abstract

Power control mechanisms control signal strength in a mobile wireless communication systems which communicate, at least initially, over different channels. By measuring the Signal-to-Interference ratio in signals received by a receiving station and returning that information to the transmitting station, an indication of appropriate power levels at which to transmit subsequent signals is given.
