Abstract
In a wireless communication system using a power control command to control power of a transmitted traffic channel (58), a signal from a transmitter (64) is received (104) via a channel. A channel quality is measured (70, 108) using the signal from the transmitter. In response to the measured channel quality (70) exceeding (80, 110) a channel quality threshold (82), a decrease traffic channel power command is sent (112) to the transmitter, and a channel quality threshold is increased (114). In response to the channel quality threshold (82) exceeding (80, 110) the measured channel quality (70), an increase traffic channel power command is sent (116) to the transmitter, and the channel quality threshold is decreased (118). A traffic signal quality may be measured (72) and compared (88) to a traffic signal quality threshold (86). The result of the comparison (132) may be used to adjust (134) the channel quality threshold (82). The traffic signal quality threshold may be adjusted (90, 126, 128) in response to whether or not a frame error is detected (74, 124).
