Method and apparatus for processing power control signals in a mobile telephone system

摘要: The transmitted power of a mobile telephone (12) is established by control bits that are in traffic channel from base station (14A, 14B) and demodulated rake receiver (22, 24) the telephone. includes plurality demodulators (25a to 25f) demodulate respective fingers which may be caused multipath conditions, with each demodulator being combined other regardless whether lock their fingers. signal associated first then tested against threshold. If at least equal threshold, sent logic combiner (42). stations communicating telephone, these also any commands decrease its power, it does so; otherwise, increases power. Alternatively, can blocked if finger energy falls below threshold depends on number station.
