Abstract

A mobile transceiver apparatus being adapted for communicating radio signals from/to a base station transceiver. The mobile transceiver apparatus has a receiver module for receiving an information signal from an other base station transceiver, wherein the information signal being received with an information signal strength. The mobile transceiver apparatus further has a transmitter module for communicating a transmit radio signal with a transmit power to the base station transceiver, wherein the transmit power being dependent on the information signal strength received from the other base station transceiver.

Claims (19)

1. A mobile transceiver apparatus being adapted for communicating radio signals from/to a base station transceiver, the mobile transceiver apparatus comprising

a receiver module for receiving an information signal from another base station transceiver, the information signal being received with an information signal strength; and

a transmitter module for communicating a transmit radio signal with a transmit power to the base station transceiver, the transmit power being dependent on the information signal strength received from the other base station transceiver,

wherein the transmitter module is adapted for adapting the transmit power inversely proportional to the information signal strength, and/or wherein the receiver module is adapted for receiving an information on a metric C and wherein the transmitter module is adapted for adapting the transmit power proportionally to the metric C.

2. The mobile transceiver apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the receiver module is adapted for receiving the information signal on a reception frequency and wherein the transmitter module is adapted for transmitting the transmit radio signal on a transmission frequency, wherein the reception frequency is different from the transmission frequency.

3. The mobile transceiver apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the received information signal strength corresponds to a received information signal power and/or wherein the received information signal corresponds to a received interference information from the other base station transceiver.

4. The mobile transceiver apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transmitter module is adapted for further basing the transmit power on a fading margin.

5. The mobile transceiver apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the receiver module is adapted for receiving the metric C for multiple frequency resources and wherein the transmitter module is adapted for transmitting on the multiple frequency resources.

6. The mobile transceiver apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the receiver module is adapted for receiving an information on a priority per frequency resource and wherein the transmitter module is adapted for adapting a transmit power dependent on the priority of the frequency resource the transmit radio signal is transmitted on.

7. A method for communicating radio signals at a mobile transceiver from/to a base station transceiver, comprising

receiving an information signal from another base station transceiver, the information signal being received with an information signal strength; and

communicating a transmit radio signal with a transmit power to the base station transceiver, the transmit power being dependent on the information signal strength received from the other base station transceiver,

wherein the transmit power is adapted inversely proportional to the information signal strength, and/or wherein an information on a metric C is received and wherein the transmit power is adapted proportionally to the metric C.

8. A computer program comprising a program code for performing

a method for communicating radio signals at a mobile transceiver from/to a base station transceiver, comprising

receiving an information signal from another base station transceiver, the information signal being received with an information signal strength; and

communicating a transmit radio signal with a transmit power to the base station transceiver, the transmit power being dependent on the information signal strength received from the other base station transceiver,

wherein the transmit power is adapted inversely proportional to the information signal strength, and/or wherein an information on a metric C is received and wherein the transmit power is adapted proportionally to the metric C,

when the computer program runs on a computer or processor.
