1. An apparatus for controlling the transmission energy of signals received from a remote transmitter, comprising:
- receiver for measuring an energy of the signals to produce an energy indication; and
power control processor for generating a signal quality metric based on said measuring, generating closed loop power control commands in accordance with a comparison between the signal quality metric and a variable threshold, making a determination that the remote transmitter is not responding to the power control commands in a predetermined fashion, and suspending an updating of the variable threshold in accordance with said determination.

Abstract
A power control system for controlling the transmission power in a system wherein the transmission power may be gated or capped. The receiver employs a combination of closed loop and outer loop power control. The outer loop is frozen upon detection by the receiver that the signal has been capped or gated.
