Abstract
The invention relates to a power control method in a mobile communications system in which transmission of a signal of one logical connection over the radio path employs hopping, such as frequency hopping, antenna hopping or timeslot hopping. According to the present invention, the method is characterized in that the quality of the signal received on the radio connection is determined on one hopping setting, such as frequency, antenna or timeslot, and the power control is carried out on the radio connection in question from hopping setting to hopping setting so that the transmission power of at least one hopping setting, such as frequency, differs from the transmission power of at least one other hopping setting, such as frequency, used on the same radio connection.
