    Abstract: Method and apparatus employed by wireless network components such as access points (APs) for controlling transmitting power level of individual wireless transmitter/receiver units (WTRUs) by establishing a power transmit level based on prior transmit and receiving transmission and reception statistics such as signal to noise ratio (SNR), bit error rate (BER), frame error rate (FER) and/or the like. Power transmit level information is preferably communicated through any one of a clear to send (CTS), request to send (RTS), data and acknowledge (ACK) frame. Alternatively the power control information may be inserted into a beacon frame or an individual control frame specifically designated for power control. The WTRUs preferably have battery level sensors and adjust power control level responsive to a sensed battery level. Alternatively, the APs and WTRUs may reverse roles and the WTRUs may provide power transmit level information to an AP to facilitate transmissions by the AP.

    Abstract: A correct escape mechanism is determined according to interference type. Transmission is arranged so that interference may be measured at all time slots as needed to compute a measure of variance in interference in time slots (45). If the variance is above a predetermined value (62), time division duplex escape mechanisms are employed. If the variance is below a predetermined value, appropriate escape mechanisms are employed depending on whether the escape mechanism is being implemented during an uplink (324) or downlink (64). Interference causing FDD WTUs may be handed over to carrier bands to control interference experienced by TDD users.
