1. A method of providing a signal power control in a TDMA (time-division multiple access) wireless communications network for a signal transmitted from a first station set to operate at a particular transmit power to a second station having a defined receiver dynamic range, the method comprising:

  • receiving in the second station the signal;

    sampling the received signal in the second station upon receipt of the received signal and prior to any demodulation of the received signal to produce signal power samples;

    estimating in the second station a received signal power based on the signal power samples;

    producing in the second station a control power signal based on the received signal power estimated;

    transmitting the control power signal from the second station to the first station;

    adjusting in the first station the transmit power based on the control power signal transmitted; and

    shifting in the second station the receiver dynamic range based on the received signal power estimated for maintaining the signal received within the receiver dynamic range.
