Abstract

A method and apparatus for controlling uplink power in a wireless communication system are disclosed. The uplink power controlling method includes receiving target Signal-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) parameters and an uplink noise and interference level from a base station, determining an uplink power based on a target SINR and an estimated average power level of noise and interference of a user equipment, the target SINR being determined using the target SINR parameters and the estimated average power level of noise and interference of the user equipment being calculated using the uplink noise and interference level, and receiving at least one of selectively transmitted first and second offsets from the base station and adjusting the uplink power based on the received at least one of the first and second offsets.
