A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL ON A TIME SLOT BY TIME SLOT BASIS

摘要

A method (150) of automatic gain control on a time slot by time slot basis in a base transceiver station (115) includes the steps of measuring (152) and storing (158) an amplitude of a signal on a given time slot for a predetermined number of prior time frames. Then, an appropriate gain adjustment factor for the given time slot is determined (166) and applied (168) to a received signal in a current time slot of the given time slot. Such application of the gain adjustment factor is applied on a time slot by time slot basis.
