Appeal No. 1999-2826
Application No. 08/696,247
output a prediction of future values of the accumulation of
received power control bits received at the wireless terminal.
The output power of the wireless terminal is adjusted according
to a continuous or discontinuous function in response to the
difference of two successive predictor outputs.
Claim 1 is illustrative of the invention and reads as
follows:
1. A wireless terminal for use in a communications
system using a power control bit channel, comprising:
a receiver tunable to the power control bit channel,
the receiver having, in operation, a received signal as
output, wherein the received signal comprises power control
bits;
an accumulator for accumulating the output of the
receiver to produce an accumulated signal;
a predictor having as input the accumulated signal and
output a prediction of future values of the accumulated
signal;
a power controller having as input the output from the
predictor and having as output a signal whose power is a
function of the predictor output; and
a transmitter for transmitting signals having a power
that is a function of the predictor output.
