Avg. Burst Power Limits
Dynamic power control is essential to ensure stable transmission and an efficient radio
resource management within the system. Generally speaking, an output power of the
mobile transmitter that is too low decreases the coverage area while an excess output
power may cause interference to other channels or systems. Both effects decrease the
system capacity.
GSM mobile phones are divided into different power classes according to their
maximum output power.
Power class Nominal maximum output power in dBm
