METHOD FOR COMPENSATING FOR RECEIVER GAIN COMPRESSION

摘要

A method provides a handshake (42) between a handset and a bass of a wireless communication system if a "no carrier signal" condition is detected based upon a receiver signal strength indicator (RSSI) signal. The step of providing a handshake (42) further includes a step of incrementing the channel (44) to ensure that the handset and the base are communicating on a clean channel. Because a false RSSI signal may be generated as a result of receiver gain compression, the connection between the handset and the base will not be terminated if a return handshake (58) is received from the handset. Therefor, method compensates for receiver gain compression.
