Abstract

A method selects the data rate for pulse code modulation upstream transmission by determining an approximate transmit power before the upstream transmission reaches a transmit equalizer based on a recorder power output and a distance halfway between an outermost constellation point and a point following the outermost point. The determined approximate transmit power is multiplied by the power of the transmit equalizer to determine a post-equalizer transmit value. A data rate is selected which is less than a predetermined regulatory limit.
