Abstract
Apparatus, and an associated method, for determining a carrier-to-interference ratio to be used in a closed-loop power control scheme to control power levels at which data is sent to a mobile station operable pursuant to a high-rate data communications service. A signal power level calculator calculates power levels of a pilot signal at successive power control group intervals. Calculations are made of the noise power levels, and a ratio of the values is formed. A report is generated and returned to a network part of the communication system, thereby to provide indications of the network part used to alter the power levels at which data is communicated to the mobile station.
