Abstract: Method and system are disclosed for improving the channel quality in a packet data radio network. In each cell of the radio network the packet data is measured based on channel utilization and/or packet queue measurements. A power control algorithm uses the packet data load to determine a common or equal broadcast or transmitted power level for the channels in the cell. The common broadcast or transmitted power may subsequently be adjusted on an individual channel basis for channels that fall outside a predefined quality window.

Abstract: Growth of interference wave power resulting from the growth of transmission power of the DPCH is prevented to increase line capacity while increasing reliability of control information. When a base station compares the reception SIR of the DPCH 1 from a mobile station with the desired SIR of the base station, and the reception SIR is smaller than the desired SIR as a result of the comparison, the base station instructs the mobile station to increase transmission power when the DPCH 1 is sent from the base station to the mobile station, but the base station increments the desired SIR by a predetermined offset value (?) when the HS-PDSCH is sent from the base station to the mobile station. Consequently, the mobile station increases transmission power compared to the case where only the DPCH 1 is received. Also, the HS-PDSCH is sent to each mobile station in different timing, and therefore only the mobile station increases transmission power.

Abstract: A digital broadcast transmission/reception system includes a transmission posting apparatus for performing a communication call through a telephone line network before a broadcast transmission apparatus starts transmitting individual information. The system also includes a distributor having a register which stores a transmitter ID signal of the transmission posting apparatus. The distributor compares a transmitter ID signal at the communication call with the transmitter ID signal stored in the register, outputs a power control signal when these ID signals match, and connects the telephone line network with a telephone when these ID signals do not match. The system also includes a power control apparatus for tuning ON power to a broadcast reception apparatus according to the power control signal. Therefore, the power to the broadcast reception apparatus can be controlled through the telephone line network.

The modulus of each divider may be selected to minimize spurious signals.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for establishing a call to a wireless directory number (982) which is either a non-geographic directory number or a non-dialable directory number. A call is initiated from a wireless telephone (155) to a geographic-based local access directory number (994, 996). An originating switching node (810) recognizes the local access directory number (994, 996) as an AIN trigger, and thereafter identifies a signaling node (820) that is associated with the dialed local access DN (994, 996). The signaling node (820) sends a location request that includes the local access DN (994, 996) to an HLR (130). The HLR (130) obtains the wireless DN (982) from an internal database (990) in which the wireless DN (982) is associated with the local access DN (994, 996). The HLR (130) utilizes the wireless DN (982) to receive a temporary local directory number (TLDN) from visitor location register (140).
