Abstract
The invention relates to a method of channel-adaptive power control. According to the invention, the method makes it possible to control the transmission power in a channel-adapting way, employing an arbitrary large set of different TPC algorithms (TPCAs) for use. Each TPCA should be well adapted to a special kind of channel characteristics. The set of TPCAs is all the better performing when it covers the largest scale possible of channel characteristics. At any time, the transmission power is controlled by that algorithm chosen among the set of algorithms that appears to be optimal for the actual channel characteristics.
