Abstract
Abstract A method for adjusting the transmitter power of a subscriber unit includes the steps of determining noise characteristic of a receiver site, measuring strength of a signal received from the subscriber, determining a power adjust value based on the noise characteristic and the received signal strength. The transmit power of the subscriber unit is adjusted according to the power adjust value.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A method for adjusting the transmitter power of a subscriber unit, comprising the steps of: (a) receiving a received signal at a receiver site, said received signal being transmitted by the subscriber unit; (b) determining noise floor of the receiver site; (c) determining the strength of the received signal; (d) determining a power adjust value based on the difference between the noise floor of the receiver site and the strength of the received signal; (e) transmitting the power adjust value to the subscriber unit; and (f) adjusting the transmitter power of the subscriber unit according to the power adjust value
Claim 2
Independent Claim
100 words
A method for adjusting the transmitter power of a subscriber unit, comprising the steps of: (a) receiving a received signal at a receiver site, said received signal being transmitted by the subscriber unit; (b) determining noise floor of the receiver site; (c) determining the strength of the received signal; (d) determining a power adjust value based on the difference between the noise floor of the receiver site and the strength of the received signal; (e) transmitting the power adjust value to the subscriber unit; and (f) adjusting the transmitter power of the subscriber unit according to the power adjust value
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said step (b) and (d) includes the steps of: (b) (1) determining total noise power by adding noise power at the receiver site to noise power of the received signal (b) (2) determining the power adjust value based on the total noise power and the strength of the received signal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
93 words
A communication system capable of adjusting transmitter power of a subscriber unit comprising: at least one subscriber unit; means for receiving a received signal at a receiver site: said received signal being transmitted by the subscriber unit: means for determining the strength of the received signal; means for determining noise floor of the receiver site; means for determining a power adjust value based on the difference between the noise floor of the receiver site and the strength of the received signal; and means for transmitting the power adjust value to the subscriber unit.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
93 words
A communication system capable of adjusting transmitter power of a subscriber unit comprising: at least one subscriber unit; means for receiving a received signal at a receiver site: said received signal being transmitted by the subscriber unit: means for determining the strength of the received signal; means for determining noise floor of the receiver site; means for determining a power adjust value based on the difference between the noise floor of the receiver site and the strength of the received signal; and means for transmitting the power adjust value to the subscriber unit.
