Abstract

In the present invention, the power of a remote transmitted signal is controlled, by a remote communication device. The remote communication device is in communication with the base communication device. The base communication device transmits to the remote device a base transmitted signal. The base transmitted signal is received by the remote device and its power is measured. The transmission power of the remote transmitted signal is controlled in accordance with EQU Power=A+(B-C) where A is representative of the desired power of the remote transmitted signal received by the base device; B is representative of the power of the base transmitted signal, transmitted by the base device; and C is representative of the measured power of the base transmitted signal as received by the remote device.
