1. A method for controlling a transmitter amplifier, comprising:
- receiving a frequency band that includes an assigned channel, an adjacent channel, and a communication signal from the transmitter amplifier in the assigned channel, the assigned channel and the adjacent channel being respective sub-bands of the frequency band;
determining cross-correlation coefficients, between the communication signal and the adjacent channel;
estimating an adjacent channel interference, based at least in part on the cross-correlation coefficients; and
upon the estimated adjacent channel interference meeting a given condition, initiating communication of an operating point notice, toward a local control of the transmitter amplifier.

Abstract
Signals are received that include a channel band and an adjacent band. The channel band is demodulated to obtain recovered symbols. Cross-correlation between the recovered symbols and the adjacent band is estimated. Adjacent channel interference is estimated, using the estimated cross-correlation of the recovered symbols and the adjacent band. Upon the estimated adjacent channel interference meeting a condition, a back-off command is sent to a transmitter power amplifier.
