Abstract
A system and method for managing a terminal uplink power, and a terminal having uplink power managed by a gateway are provided. The method including: dividing, at a gateway, a beam coverage area into sub-beams and each of the sub-beams into one or more frequency bins; associating a sub-beam of the sub-beams with terminals located within the sub-beam; determining Transmit Power (TP) values including a transmit power or attenuation for each of the one or more frequency bins of the sub-beam; sending, from the gateway, the TP values of the sub-beam to the terminals via a forward link; and receiving, at the gateway, a burst transmitted using a terminal transmit power calculated from the TP values of the sub-beam. The TP values may change in response to an SNR measurement at the gateway and/or feedback from the terminal.
