Mobile station and a method of reducing interference among radio channels in the mobile station

Abstract From the Canadian patent

In a method of controlling transmission power in a mobile station which switches a plurality of base stations from one to another with a hand-off time interposed on switching, an increase of the transmission power is suppressed with reference to reception levels of pilot signals sent from the plurality of the base stations which are divided into a first group of base stations under connection and a second group of base stations under non-connection. Specifically, the transmission power is slowly or gradually increased or kept constant when the reception level of the pilot signal sent from the second group base station exceeds that of the pilot signal sent from the first group base station.
