1. A method of controlling a transmit power of a remote communication unit operating in a wireless communication system, the wireless communication system including at least one base communication station, the method comprising:
- transmitting from the remote communication unit a preamble message;
receiving at the base communication station the preamble message;
evaluating the content of the received preamble message and generating a quality metric, wherein the quality metric comprises one of a group consisting of a search statistic and a bit error rate; and
adjusting the transmit power of the remote communication unit based upon the quality metric.

Abstract
A call setup process (200) has a fast and robust preamble signal acquisition and acknowledgement procedure (400). The procedure (400) is a multistage search technique for first identifying with high probability the preamble signal and for verifying signal acquisition. The procedure (400) further includes power control (408/426/428) and rate determination (430) capability for enhanced call setup processing.

5. A method for processing a communication request in a communication system comprising:
-
receiving at a base station a communication request signal from a communication unit operating in the communication system;
searching the communication request signal for multipath components;
verifying the existence of the multipath components;
recovering information from the multipath components;
comparing the recovered information to predetermined communication request information; and
sending an acknowledgment signal from the base station to the communication unit when the recovered information corresponds to the predetermined communication request information with a predetermined certainty. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
