Abstract
During asymmetric communications using only the uplink, frame configuration section transmits a signal made up of only pilot signals and transmission power control bits assembled into frames. The transmission power control method is the same as that for normal communications. In this case, since signals transmitted on the downlink are only pilot signals and transmission power control bits, it is possible to reduce the transmission rate considerably and transmit signals with its transmission power reduced by transmission signal amplitude control section . In this case, a long hierarchic orthogonal type spreading code is set as the spreading code used by spreader
