Abstract
The invention provides methods and systems for power control in point-to-multipoint communications systems. Methods are described for both downstream and upstream control. Subscriber signals received at the base station,are level detected at receiver,and power adjust processing,and a control signal is sent to control output from the subscriber transmitter,. The invention maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio and signal-to-interference ratio for subscribers (CPE) while minimizing transmitted power. The invention is ideal for use in local multipoint distribution service (LMDS) systems.
