A method for controlling transmitting power, and a cellular radio system

Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a method for controlling transmitting power in a cellular radio system comprising in each cell at least one base station (20) communicating with subscriber terminal equipments (21-22) located within its area, in which method the base station measures the power level of a signal received by it from a terminal equipment, and the terminal equipment measures the power level of a signal received by it from the base station, and reports the result to the base station. For enabling fast and accurate power control in the method of the invention, the base station (20) compares the measurement results transmitted by the terminal equipment with its own measurement results, and controls the transmitting power of the terminal equipment and its own transmitting power on the basis of the comparison of the measurement results.
