FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to communication. A method and an apparatus for controlling uplink power are described, wherein a simplified maximum sector throughput (SMST) and a generalised maximum sector throughput (GMST) can be used. The SMST and GMST methods can be used to determine a maximum sector throughput and cell-edge throughput to enhance the overall efficiency of the communication system.
EFFECT: method of controlling uplink power can determine optimal uplink power value without collecting interference over thermal noise and without computing the individual channel losses in each neighbouring sector.
