A radio communication system (100) employs a method for setting an output power of a base site (e.g., 107) in the system. The radio communication system includes at least two base sites (101-107) and a communication path (109, 131-137) coupling the base sites together. A first base site (e.g., 107) transmits a signal (147) via a radio communication resource. A second base site (e.g., 101) receives the signal and determines a signal quality metric of the received signal. Upon determining the signal quality metric, the second base site generates and conveys a message to the first base site via the communication path, wherein the message instructs the first base site to adjust an output power of the first base site. The first base site then adjusts its output power responsive to the message.

A communication system (101) provides a subscriber unit (105) with access to an information network (130) through gateway equipment (110) that is coupled to a network server (120). The subscriber unit (105) transmits to the gateway equipment (110) a request for data from the information network (130). The gateway equipment (110) communicates the request in a message to the network server (120), the message including an identifier for the originating subscriber unit. The network server (120) retrieves data corresponding to the request from the information network (130), and conveys this data to the subscriber unit (105) using the identifier. Preferably, the network server (120) communicates with the subscriber unit (105) via a message service (140) that provides external access to the communication system (101).
