Abstract
A power control method for transceiver units conveying data over discrete tones. The method includes the steps of: determining a transmit power over a physical channel for each individual tone, such that this transmit power maximizes a weighted function of data rates achievable with this tone over the physical channel and over modeled neighboring channels, with the constraint that this transmit power conforms to a transmit power mask, summing up the data rates over the whole set of tones, adjusting the weights such that the total data rates over the modeled neighboring channels reach some target data rates, and such that the total data rate over the physical channel is maximized, with the constraint that each weight is identical over the whole set of tones.
