Abstract
Techniques for power control of serving and non-serving base stations are disclosed. In one aspect, power control commands for a plurality of base stations are combined to form a single command to control the plurality of base control. In another aspect, an “Or-of-up” rule is used to combine the power control commands. In yet another aspect, a channel quality indicator is used to power control a serving base station. Various other aspects are also presented. These aspects have the benefit of providing efficient power control between a mobile station and both serving and non-serving base stations, thus avoiding excessive interference and increasing capacity.
