Abstract

A method is provided for controlling the transmission power in a radio system, including the steps of: transmitting a transmission signal to a receiver; evaluating the transmission signal to produce a power control command for controlling the transmission power of the transmitter; setting the transmission power of the transmitter based on an estimated value after an occurrence of a transmission gap in a transmission channel, the estimated value taking account of power control commands produced for the transmitter in the past; and determining the estimated value as a function of a parameter which indicates whether the respective power control command is intended to be taken into account in the determination of the estimated value, and setting the parameter to a value which results in the power control command being taken into account when determining the estimated value.
