Abstract  Abstract

Methods systems and arrangements enable balanced base station transmitter output power levels with respect to a receiving mobile station (115 315 335 355 375) in a macro-diversity communication by adjusting a base station transmitter output power level responsive to power control command(s) sent by the mobile station (115 315 335 355 375) and the (current) transmitter output power level of the base station (110 310 305 325 330 345 350 365 370). In a fixed adjustment step embodiment power level convergence is enabled by adjusting (430C 430F) the transmitter output power level of a given base station (110 310 305 325 330 345 350 365 370) by a greater amount (e.g. than the nominal amount) when a power control command orders a power adjustment of the transmitter output power level towards a reference level and by adjusting (430B 430E) the transmitter output power level by a lesser amount when a power control command orders a power adjustment of the transmitter output power level away from the reference level. A continuous adjustment step embodiment is also disclosed.
