Abstract
A method for detecting transmission power reduction in a physical channel including at least a non-enhanced data channel portion, a non-enhanced control channel portion, an enhanced control channel portion and an enhanced data channel portion is provided. The method includes estimating a ratio of a transmission power associated with the enhanced data channel to transmission power associated with the non-enhanced control channel portion, comparing the estimated ratio with a threshold, the threshold being determined based on a format indicator associated with the enhanced data channel portion, and detecting a transmission power reduction in the enhanced data channel portion based on the comparing step.
