Abstract
A method and system are disclosed for dynamically adjusting forward-link transmission power in a cellular wireless communication system. A base station controller (BSC) or other radio network entity determines that a given cell sector is transmitting data to at least one mobile station and that no cell sector in a cluster associated with the given cell sector (e.g., among neighboring sectors) is also transmitting data to at least one mobile station. In response, the BSC dynamically increases the forward-link transmit power in the given sector to a level beyond the sector's normal (full) transmit power. The invention preferably applies on a per-timeslot basis and the power increase occurs in at least a data channel segment, to help increase data transmission speed.
