Abstract
A communication system (200) includes a plurality of channel elements (201-05). A mobile station (101) communicates with a base station (114), both included in communication system (200), via a forward link (121) and a reverse link (122) communication. The communication system assigns a finite number (N) of channel elements (201-03) selected from plurality of channel elements (201-05) for forward link communication (121), inputs at least one forward link signal (210) associated with forward link (121) to each of N channel elements (201-03), determines a power gain requirement of forward link (121), adjusts power gain setting of each of N channel elements (201-03) such that an aggregate of power gain settings of N channel elements (201-03) substantially equals to the power gain requirement, outputs N forward link signals (231-33) with adjusted power gain accordingly, and combines N forward link signals (231-33) to form a combined forward link signal (250).
