Abstract
Methods and systems for transmitting power control commands in radiocommunication systems are described. To reduce the usage of fast associated control channel “blank-and-burst” techniques, the present invention provides mechanisms for reducing the frequency of transmission of uplink power control commands to mobile stations. More specifically, the frequency of transmission of uplink power control commands by the system can be reduced when the transmit power level of the mobile station is already relatively low and when the uplink power control commands seek to further reduce the transmit power level of the mobile station.
