Abstract
In a wireless communication system a method for power control in a mobile unit, wherein a variable size step is used to adjust the transmit power. The method compares a current power control signal to a previous one, and incrementally changing the step size for no change The adjusted step size is compared to maximum and minimum values to maintain a predetermined step size range. In one embodiment, a mobile unit includes a memory storage device and a comparator for storing the power control signals and comparing them.
