Abstract

For regulating a transmission power in a transmission channel of a transmission from a transmitting station in a transmission system, a transmit power command is received from a transmission receiving station, the transmission power in the transmission channel is changed on a basis of the received transmit power command, and an amount of the change in the transmission power at the transmitting station is determined by determining a ratio between a current transmission power and an average over time of the transmission power, such that the amount of the change is dependent on a value of the ratio, with the amount of change increasing as the value of the ratio increases.

Claims (7)

1. A method for regulating a transmission power in a transmission channel of a transmission from a transmitting station in a transmission system, the method comprising the steps of

receiving a transmit power command from a transmission receiving station;

changing the transmission power in the transmission channel on a basis of the received transmit power command; and

determining an amount of the change in the transmission power at the transmitting station by determining a ratio between a current transmission power and an average over time of the transmission power, such that the amount of the change is dependent on a value of the ratio, with the amount of change increasing as the value of the ratio increases.

2. The method as defined in claim 1 , further comprising selecting a relationship between the ratio and the amount of the change in the transmission power as a nonlinear relationship.

3. A transmitting station for receiving from a receiving station transmit power commands for changing a transmitting station transmission power of transmissions in a transmission channel, the transmitting station comprising an evaluation unit for changing the transmission power of the transmitting station in response to the receipt of the transmit power commands by an amount dependent on a ration of a current transmission power of the transmitting station and an average over time of the transmission power of the transmitting station, with the amount of change increasing as a value of the ratio increases.

4. The transmitting station of claim 3 , wherein the evaluation unit is configured so that a relationship between the ratio and the amount of the change in the transmission power is nonlinear.
