Abstract
Abstract Transmission power control of a mobile terminal unit in a cellular telecommunication system, in which: the base station informs the mobile units of its existence on a common control channel in a TDMA slot, at least one control channel is dedicated to the mobile terminals seeking connection, and the power level of the connection-seeking signal is dependent of the measured power level, downlink, from the base station.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
232 words
A method for adjusting transmission power of a subscriber mobile station in a cellular TDMA radio system when a call is established, the system comprising at least one base station in each cell, communicating with the mobile stations located in the respective said cell, said method comprising: a respective said base station sending data about itself in a signal on at least one control channel common to all mobile stations in the respective said cell; a respective said mobile starting transmitting to said base station on at least one common control channel provided in said system for transmitting channel requests from mobile stations in said cell to said base station, a channel request to establish an actual connection on a traffic channel; said mobile station adjusting transmission power on the basis of said data transmitted from said base station on said common control channel; said mobile station sending said channel request to said base station at a transmission power computed by said mobile station on the basis of power of said signal as received from said base station on said common control channel, as measured by said mobile station; and wherein: when a connection has been established with said base station, said mobile station sending data to said base station, on a common control channel of the system, about the power level used by said mobile station for transmitting said channel request.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
232 words
A method for adjusting transmission power of a subscriber mobile station in a cellular TDMA radio system when a call is established, the system comprising at least one base station in each cell, communicating with the mobile stations located in the respective said cell, said method comprising: a respective said base station sending data about itself in a signal on at least one control channel common to all mobile stations in the respective said cell; a respective said mobile starting transmitting to said base station on at least one common control channel provided in said system for transmitting channel requests from mobile stations in said cell to said base station, a channel request to establish an actual connection on a traffic channel; said mobile station adjusting transmission power on the basis of said data transmitted from said base station on said common control channel; said mobile station sending said channel request to said base station at a transmission power computed by said mobile station on the basis of power of said signal as received from said base station on said common control channel, as measured by said mobile station; and wherein: when a connection has been established with said base station, said mobile station sending data to said base station, on a common control channel of the system, about the power level used by said mobile station for transmitting said channel request.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
The method of claim 1, wherein: when the system adjusts the transmission power of the mobile station, the starting value is the starting transmission power given by said mobile station in said data sent to said base station.
