Abstract: Methods and apparatus for determining when uplink synchronization has been achieved when entering or adding a link in soft handover to a new node in a communication system. Transmit power control (TPC) commands from the new link are not included in a TPC command combination until an uplink synchronization detector determines that synchronization has been achieved. Since in many communication systems, a pattern of TPC commands is transmitted on the new downlink as long as the new node's uplink is not synchronized, the uplink synchronization detector can determine whether synchronization has been achieved by determining whether the TPC command pattern is present in the new downlink. In this way, the UL synchronization detector reduces the occurrence and magnitude of unwanted peaks and dips in uplink transmitted power.

Abstract: A wireless communications system has a plurality of uplink and downlink channels available for use. Channels are distributed among different operators who may plan their networks in a non-ideal manner. A terminal uses an uplink channel and a downlink channel selected from those available and performs a method to check whether it is causing interference to other users of the system. The method determines whether the terminal is transmitting at a power which may cause interference to an adjacent uplink channel. If so, the terminal determines which downlink channel is associated with the adjacent uplink channel and monitors that downlink channel. The terminal may then operate in a manner which will reduce interference.
