Abstract
In an example embodiment, an apparatus may include at least one processor and at least one memory including computer code. The at least one memory and the computer program code may be configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least perform: receiving at a mobile station from a base station in a wireless network, a channel quality threshold and a power adjustment value; measuring a downlink channel quality associated with each of a plurality of resource blocks in a downlink direction from the base station; selecting one or more of the resource blocks that have a channel quality that is greater than or equal to the channel quality threshold; and performing the following for each of the selected one or more resource blocks: determining a transmission power for transmitting a sounding signal via the resource block based upon the measured downlink channel quality for the resource block and power adjustment value; and transmitting, via a wireless transceiver, the sounding signal in an uplink direction to the base station via the resource block using the determined transmission power for the resource block.
