1. A method comprising:
- receiving a respective reported AMC (adaptive modulation and coding) parameter from each of a plurality of receivers;
decreasing a transmit power used to transmit to a given receiver of the plurality of receivers when the reported AMC parameter received from that receiver reflects better channel conditions than needed for a highest available AMC code set for that receiver.

Abstract
Systems and methods of performing power control in combination with AMC are provided. AMC is performed on the basis of an AMC parameter such as CINR. Once the AMC is set to a highest available AMC for transmission to a given receiver, if the CINR indicates that the highest AMC could be transmitted with less transmit power, the power is reduced. For receivers that are not receiving the highest available AMC for that receiver, they may have their transmit power increased.

12. A method comprising:
-
determining an AMC (adaptive modulation and coding) parameter for each of a plurality of transmitters; sending a power control command to decrease a transmit power used to transmit by a given transmitter of the plurality of transmitters when the AMC parameter determined for that transmitter reflects better channel conditions than needed for a highest available AMC code set for that transmitter. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A transmitter comprising:
-
an adaptive modulation and coder that performs adaptive modulation and coding using a selected AMC code set; a first power controller that performs power control for transmissions as a function of a first AMC parameter to produce a power controlled signal; at least one antenna for transmitting the power controlled signal. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
