Techniques to support independent power control of multiple channels in CDMA systems (e.g., a W-CDMA system) that define a single power control feedback stream on the uplink, which is to be used for downlink power control. In one aspect, the single feedback stream is "time shared" among multiple channels requiring individual power control. Various time-sharing schemes may be used to implement multiple (substantially parallel) feedback substreams based on the single feedback stream, and different combination of feedback rates may also be achieved for the substreams. Each feedback substream may be assigned to, and used for power control of, a respective channel. In another aspect, multiple feedback substreams are implemented based on multiple fields in newly defined slot formats.

Downlink power control commands are mapped to resources used for uplink communications within a wireless communication system. An eNode B receives communications from UEs and determines the resources used by the UEs for those transmissions on the uplink which are transmitted at non-optimum power levels. Power control messages are formulated wherein the location of the power control commands is mapped to particular resources used by the UEs for their uplink transmissions. This facilitates the eNode B to dynamically assign resources for the power control commands while permitting the UEs to decode the power control messages to adjust their power accordingly.

A family of methods for interference averaging in multicarrier systems, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The methods can provide interference averaging in situations where an interfering co-channel is either partially or fully loaded. For partially loaded systems, subcarrier puncturing, frequency domain repetition, time domain repetition, and hybrid time-frequency repetition schemes are provided. For systems using adaptive modulation / coding rates, lower rates and transmit power can be selected in order to perform interference averaging in time-spread and frequency-spread OFDM schemes. In systems with downlink power control, frequency domain mixing can be used to perform interference averaging.

The invention discloses a method to perform downlink Power Control in packet switching cellular systems with dynamic allocation of the RF channel, such as GPRS / EGPRS. The performances concern a scenario in which a radio block transmitted from the Base Station (BTS) on a downlink channel has to be received from at least two MSs simultaneously, a first MS being the addressee of the data / control packet on the downlink TBF while the second MS being the addressee of the Uplink State Flag (USF) for scheduling transmission of the next data / control packet from an uplink TBF to an uplink shared channel. First MS transmits to the BTS a first measurement report including measures of BCCH level and interference level on all the timeslots, while the second MS transmits a NC report including measures of BCCH level only, that because detailed interference measure on the downlink channel are prevented due the absence of a concurrent downlink TBF. The measures are averaged in as many running average filters and the averages compared with target thresholds to find a first and a second power reduction intended for USF and packet transmission respectively. A final power reduction is selected from the two for the next PC execution step.

If successfully counting reaches a fixed maximum counting before, then an increment of the first power reduction is decided, while in case the maximum unsuccessfully counting is reached before a decrement of the first power reduction is instead decided (FIG. 10).
