Abstract
A method is provided for regulating transmission power levels for wireless calls. The method includes: determining whether or not a mobile station (MS) () is outside a service area of a wireless telecommunications network (); detecting whether or not a call placed by the MS () is a priority call; setting a transmission power level of the MS () in response to the MS () being outside the service area of the wireless network () and detecting that the call placed by the MS () is a priority call; transmitting call set-up signaling from the MS () at the transmission power level set for the MS (); determining whether or not a base station (BS) () of the wireless network () receives the call set-up signaling from the MS (); setting a transmission power level of the BS () in response to the BS () receiving the call set-up signaling from the MS (); and, transmitting a reply to the call set-up signaling from the BS () at the transmission power level set for the BS ().
