GPRS DL burst power?

[[email protected]]

Does the basestation vary the transmit power
of PDCH downlink bursts on the same phyisical channel (time slot)
depending on which MS it is intended for, or is the DL transmit power
constant for all bursts on single PDCH channel?
thanks.

To my knowledge, the GSM BS does not adapt the transmit power, i.e. the
power is constant for all timeslots in PDCH. The power is adapted only
on the MS side for the purpose of the battery saving. However the last
time I was involved with the GSM was over 10 years ago. The specs may
have changed since then.
