The present invention relates to a method and system for improving the performance of a mobile radiocommunication system, through the use of a power control algorithm. In this invention, the performance of a mobile radiocommunication system is improved by regularly estimating if a certain criterion is met or satisfied, to determine if a power control algorithm should be deactivated or not. The estimation of whether or not the set criterion is met is based on the estimation of a deviation value, which is representative of a deviation between an estimated transmission quality and a target or desired transmission quality. Thus, the present invention aids in avoiding situations in which the power control algorithm would normally be wrongly activated and, therefore, improves the overall performance of the mobile radiocommunication system.

Method for improving performances of a mobile radiocommunication system using a power control algorithm

A method for improving performances of a mobile radiocommunication system using a power control algorithm, wherein the system may be subject to transmission interruptions. The method uses the steps of: determining a preferred form in which the power control algorithm should better be implemented, when transmission is resumed after a transmission interruption, to better compensate for the effects of the transmission interruption on power control; and implementing the power control algorithm in the thus determined form.
