Abstract
The invention relates to a method of controlling the transmission power of terminals in a CDMA type cellular network. According to the invention, when the transmission power of a number n,of terminals is authorized to be increased by a total amount P dB, a number n,of terminals benefitting from better quality of transmission in the up direction are requested to decrease their total transmission power by P dB. This makes it possible to conserve interference at a constant level in the transmission network, either within a single cell, or within a group of cells.
