US Patent 8660095 Reverse link transmit power control in a wireless communication system

In one embodiment, the patent application comprises an apparatus, method and means for controlling power of an access terminal by adjusting a power of at least one secondary reverse link carrier by computing a forward link power differential, computing a reverse link power differential, and adding a power level of a primary reverse link carrier pilot with the forward link power differential and the reverse link power differential. In another embodiment, the patent application comprises an apparatus, method and means for controlling power of an access terminal by adjusting a power of at least one secondary reverse link carrier by computing a forward link power differential, computing a reverse link load differential, and adding a power level of a primary reverse link carrier pilot with the forward link power differential and the reverse link load differential.
