1. In a communication system having a sending station operable to send a burst data signal upon a communication channel during at least a selected interval, the burst data signal including an envelope varying component portion and an envelope nonvarying component portion, an improvement of power control apparatus for controlling power levels at which the burst data signal is sent, said power control apparatus comprising:

  • a comparator coupled to receive indications of actual power levels at which the burst data signal is sent, said comparator at least selectably operable for comparing values of the indications of the actual power levels with values of specified power levels and for generating a power-level change command signal responses thereto; and

    a power-change effectuator coupled to said comparator, said power change effectuator at least selectably operable to permit effectuation of change in the actual power levels at which the burst data signal is sent, said power change effectuator operable to permit effectuation of changes of the actual power levels at which the burst data signal is sent when the indications of the actual power levels at which the burst data signal is sent to which said comparator is coupled to receive are of the envelope-nonvarying portion of the burst data signal.
