Appeal No. 2002-2106 Application 09/313,359 base station an individual target value from which the trans- mitted power level should not deviate on a long-term average. See page 2 of Appellants’ specification. Fig. 2a shows the structure of a mobile communications system according to the invention. The mobile communications system contains a number of base stations of which only two, NB1 and NB2, are shown. These two base stations NB1 and NB2 are interconnected by a control network and communicate simultaneously with a mobile station UE. See page 4 of Appellants’ specification. Each of the two base stations NB1 and NB2 changes its transmitted power using the method according to the invention, in which target values TV1 and TV2 are preset by the first base station controller SRNC for base stations NB1 and NB2, respectively. See page 5 of Appellants’ specification. Fig. 3 is a flowchart showing the steps of a method 100 for changing the transmitted power of a base station. In the first step 110, the base station controller SRNC presets a target value TV1 for the base station NB1. See page 6 of Appellants’ specification. In step 120, a transmit power command is transmitted from the mobile station UE to the two base stations NB1 and NB2. In step 130, the transmitted power is 3Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
