An apparatus and method for using a variable loop gain in a double-loop powe r control system to control the power of a forward link signal sent by a gatew ay to a user terminal to compensate for fading in a wireless communications system. In one embodiment the invention includes the steps of detecting fast fading in the forward link signal and informing the gateway of the fast fading; and at the gateway, reducing the loop gain of the power control loop when fast fading is indicated. In another embodiment, the invention includes the steps of, at the gateway, detecting fast fading in a reverse link signal received from the user terminal and reducing the loop gain of the power control loop when fast fading is indicated.
