<p>Systems and methods for efficiently transmitting power level information (412) in a point to multipoint wireless system. Multiple subscriber units may transmit indications of their power level (454) within a shared burst where one or more subchannels are allocated to each subscriber unit. The burst holding the power level information may be understood by the MAC layer (456) to be a data burst. In this way, a wireline MAC protocol may be applied to wireless applications.</p> |
