Adaptive acknowledging and power control

A method for a communication device which is wirelessly coupled to another communication device, the method comprising:

• receiving a plurality of sub-frames, wherein the plurality of sub-frames further comprising a plurality of first power control bits;
• generating a strength signal, a pattern signal, and a power level indicating signal, wherein the strength signal indicates a measured power level of a received link signal, and wherein the value of the pattern signal is based upon a power mode message that is received from the another communication device, and wherein the power mode message indicates that placement and validation of power control bits is to be changed according to a desirable power control timeline;
• determining the validation and place of a plurality of second power control bits according to the strength signal and the pattern signal;
• and
• transmitting the plurality of second power control bits to the another communication device according to the power level indication signal.

A system, comprising:

• a first communication device wirelessly coupled to a second communication device, the first communication device further comprising:
• a first receiver, configured to receive a plurality of first sub-frames, generate a first strength signal and a first pattern signal, wherein the first strength signal indicates a measured power level of a first received link signal, and wherein the value of the first pattern signal is based upon a first power mode message that is received from the second communication device, and wherein the power message indicates that placement and validation of power control bits is to be changed according to a first desirable power control timeline;
• a first power control bit (PCB) processor configured to receive a plurality of first power control bits which is selected from the plurality of received first sub-frames and generate a first power level indicating signal;
• a first power control bit (PCB) manager, configure to receive the fist strength signal and the first pattern signal, and to determine the validation and place of a plurality of second power control bits according to the first strength signal and the first pattern signal;
• and
• a first transmitter, configured to transmit the plurality of second power control bits by a plurality of second sub-frames according to the first power level indication signal;
• and
• a second communication device, further comprising:
