REGLERING AV BEGYNNELSEEFFEKTEN HOS EN SAENDNING I EN ROERLIG STATION I ETT ROERLIGT RADIOTELEFONSYSTEM

A mobile station is instructed to first transmit at relatively high sending power on a channel being assigned despite possible interference and is then instructed before a first time interval has elapsed to transmit at a more optimal power level to reduce interference. The power level on the channel is then periodically monitored at a second time interval greater than the first time interval. Momentarily increased interference is therefore tolerated in exchange for increased assurance of channel assignment. The interference is quickly reduced by implementing a fast power regulating function as compared to a slower ongoing channel power monitoring function.
