PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and apparatus for initial acquisition gain control in a communication system.SOLUTION: The power of a signal received by a transceiver is measured a number of times over a prescribed time period 310. The signal includes a number of symbols. When a currently measured power is greater than a previously measured power during the prescribed time period, a gain of the transceiver is reduced until a maximal power level is measured 312, 314. By repeatedly reducing the gain to accommodate a maximal power value, which is the power level of an acquisition pilot symbol, overshoot and distortion by the transceiver are avoided during initial timing and frequency acquisition. |
