OPEN LOOP POWER OFFSET UPDATE
First Claim
1. A method that facilitates selective adjustment of power control information sent in a broadcast signal, comprising:
- receiving a broadcast signal from an access point, the broadcast signal includes power control information;
ascertaining if a correction is recommended for the broadcast power control information; and
conveying the recommended correction to the access point.

Abstract
Provided is an feedback mechanism to correct power control information in a broadcast signal that is determined to be incorrect by one or more devices that receive and rely on the broadcast information. A device that receives the incorrect broadcast information can determine a correction and to the information and provide a recommendation to the source of the broadcast information. The source can selectively determine whether to modify the broadcast information based on the recommendation from one or more devices. If the broadcast information is modified, subsequent devices that receive the broadcast information are provided with the modified information. If further changes are needed, the subsequent devices can provide further recommended changes.
