A method for improving performances of a mobile radiocommunication system using a power control algorithm and being subject to transmission interruptions, wherein a recovery period is provided following a transmission interruption to compensate for the effects of the transmission interruption on the power control algorithm, and wherein the recovery period includes different parts wherein different types of compensation are successively carried out, these types being determined so as to ensure that a minimum compensation can first be obtained and that compensation is not higher than necessary thereafter.
