The present invention provides a method for dynamically estimating noise floor by continuously updating a noise floor value based on the noise floor value and sampled receive strength indications. In an alternative, the noise floor may be updated based on sampled receive strength indications and the reverse link loading value. In yet another alternative, the noise floor may be updated based on sampled receive strength indications and a range relative to a reference noise floor value.

Method for dynamically estimating noise floor and rise over thermal (ROT)

The input (and output) power of a multi-carrier amplifier can be controlled to allow the amplifier to operate at high RF power levels and still remain within a power rating profile. The amplifier (or amplifiers) power is controlled using an aggregate scaling factor. The aggregate scaling factor is generated from a plurality of amplifier scaling factors. Each amplifier scaling factor is generated based on a comparison of a time-averaged total power and a corresponding threshold.
