1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a receiver;
a transmitter; and
a processor, operatively coupled to the receiver and the transmitter,
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive, via the receiver, a control message over a physical control channel in a first of a plurality of time slots, wherein the control message has power control bits for a plurality of UEs, wherein the first of the plurality of time slots has a second downlink physical control channel and a downlink physical shared channel; and
transmit, via the transmitter, a signal in uplink physical channel in a second time slot to a base station having a transmission power level based on the power control bits received in the control message.
