1. A cellular communication device for a cellular communication network, comprising:

  • a radio-frequency (RF) transmitter for transmitting an RF signal at an output power level to one or more other devices in the cellular communication network;

    an RF receiver for receiving an RF signal from one or more other devices in the cellular communication network; and

    a gain control circuit for sampling the output power level signal, digitizing the sampled output power level signal, computing a gain differential between the sampled output power level signal and a predefined output power level, wherein if the absolute value of the gain differential is greater than a predetermined threshold, a gain of the RF transmitter is then adjusted by an amount substantially equal to the gain differential in order to maintain a substantially constant output level at the RF transmitter corresponding to the predefined output power level.
