Mobile
BTS
The mobile station makes a coarse initial estimation of the required transmit power,
based upon the total received power.

Power Control
or
Signal Strength
Measurement
Setpoint
Consists of power up (0) & power down (1) commands sent to the mobile stations, based
upon their signal strength measured at the Base Station and compared to a specified
threshold
Each command requests a 1dB increase or decrease of the mobile station transmit power

Forward Link Power Control
As the FER (determined at the mobile station) increases, the mobile station
requests a Forward Traffic Channel power increase.

All types of power control work together to minimizes power consumption at the
mobile stations, and increases the overall capacity of the system transmit power.

Pilot Sets

4. Remaining
Pilot sets:
Active Set: Pilots associated with the forward traffic channels
assigned to the mobile station (max 6 pilots)
Candidate Set: Pilots not currently in the Active Set, but received by
the mobile with sufficient strength to indicate that the corresponding
Traffic Channels can be successfully demodulated (max 5 pilots)
Neighbor Set: Pilots not currently on the Active or Candidate Sets,
that are likely handoff candidates (at least 20 pilots)
Remaining Set: All other possible pilots in the current system on the
current CDMA frequency assignment
