Dynamic power control for FM channel management (cellular radio)

Summary form only given, as follows. Dynamic power control is a technique that can be used in cellular radio systems to improve the quality of a call by dynamically managing the signal levels received by the subscriber unit and cell site during the routine progress of the call. An algorithm is described that is both easy to implement and works well in controlling the two major sources of degraded call performance; receiver overload and poor signal-to-interference ratio. Examples are presented to indicate the operation of the algorithm in controlling the impairments.<>
