ABSTRACT:
In a satellite or other relayed communication system having a plurality of subscriber terminals that communicate through an elevated wireless relay (typically a satellite operating in bent pipe mode), a technique for subscriber terminal power control is provided whereby the power level is controlled via leader-follower operation relying on sharing control factors determined at a single calibrated subscriber terminal transmitter (the leader terminal) to create traffic to be compared to the received traffic of the other subscriber terminals. The power level of the subscriber terminals is then adjusted based on the relationship of their received energy to the received energy of the leader terminal.
