Abstract
In method of communicating from a terminal unit to a base unit, an incoming signal is sent from the base unit and received at the terminal unit. The terminal unit will measure the level of this incoming signal. The terminal unit may also extract digital information from the incoming signal. Based on either the measured signal level, the extracted information or both, the terminal will calculate an output power level to use in transmitting a signal back to the base unit. An outgoing signal can then be transmitted from the terminal unit using the output power level.
