System and method for effectively performing a transmit power adjustment procedure

A method for performing a transmit power adjustment procedure in a wireless network, comprising the steps of:

• utilizing a forward receiver to search for forward data that is transmitted over a forward link;
• transmitting said forward data over said forward link with a forward transmitter that initially transmits said forward data at a minimum power level, said forward transmitter gradually increasing said minimum power level to a forward receiver power level threshold that is less than a normal operating power level of said forward transmitter, said forward receiver first detecting said forward data on said forward link at said forward receiver power level threshold.

A system for performing a transmit power adjustment procedure in a wireless network, comprising:

• means for searching for forward data that is wirelessly transmitted over a forward link;
• means for transmitting said forward data over said forward link, said means for transmitting initially transmitting said forward data at a minimum power level, said means for transmitting gradually increasing said minimum power level to a incremented power level threshold that is less than a normal operating power level, said means for searching first detecting said forward data on said forward link at said incremented power level threshold.
