Method of controlling power in a point to multipoint communication network and system for carrying out said method

摘要

Method of controlling power in a transmission link between a central station and a terminal in a point to multi-point communication network and system for carrying out said method, particularly suitable for implementation in satellite access networks or terrestrial point to multi-point access networks. According to the invention, a transmitter means transmits a plurality of reference signals (4) to a plurality of receiver means (2); each receiver means (2) measures the respective quality of said signals so as to determine a reference signal (4) corresponding to said receiver means (2); each receiver means (2) indicates to said transmitter means (1) the reference signal (4) corresponding thereto; and if required, said transmitter means (1) adjusts the power level of transmission of said traffic data (3).
