<p>A power control subsystem (100) for a remote station (1) which transmits a reverse link signal comprising a plurality of subchannel signals, the power control subsystem comprising a receiver (210) and plural gain adjusters (140A, 140B, 140N). The receiver (210) is arranged to receive a power control message and to provide a plurality of gain values based on said power control message. Each of said gain adjusters is arranged to receive a corresponding subchannel signal and a corresponding gain value and to adjust the gain of said subchannel signal in accordance with said gain value, whereby the transmit power of each said subchannel signal can be independently adjusted based upon a received power control message. Thus, when a transmitting station (2) generates a channel made up of a sum of subchannels, each subchannel or group of subchannels is amplified with a unique gain value that is varied in accordance with subchannel power control messages. The subchannel power control messages are generated subsequent to monitoring and calculating metrics based on that received subchannel.</p> |
