A data transmission system may comprise a first transmission chain comprising a first transmission power controller, the first transmission power controller being configured to operate in an open loop power control mode or in a closed loop power control mode; a second transmission chain; and a power control mode selector configured to select the first transmission power controller to operate in the open loop power control mode or in the closed loop power control mode based on at least one quantity indicative of interference induced by the second transmission chain in the first transmission power controller when operating in the closed loop power control mode.
