Abstract
A method for determining the initial power to be allocated to a secondary channel having a desired data rate. An SNR setpoint is first calculated where such setpoint is based on the SNR setpoint of the associated primary channel and system offset values. The initial power is then calculated based on the calculated setpoint.
Claims4
A method for determining an initial power value for a secondary channel of a communication system, the method comprising:
- calculating an SNR setpoint for the secondary channel based on system offset values and an SNR setpoint of an associated primary channel;
- and
- calculating the initial power value based on the calculated SNR value and a desired information rate for the secondary channel and system parameters of the associated primary channel.
