1. A method to select the step size for increasing (StepU) the transmission power and the step size for decreasing (StepD) the transmission power of a transmitter based upon the reception quality of a received signal, comprising the steps of:

  • 1) determining the reception quality of a received signal; and

    2) for each integer i, where i ranges from one to N, where N is an integer greater than one, comparing the reception quality to a thresholdi, and if the reception quality is greater than thresholdi, selecting step size StepUi for increasing the transmission power and step size StepDi for decreasing the transmission power and then terminating all further comparisons of reception quality to lower thresholds, if i<

    N;

    where thresholdsi, i+1, . . . , N decrease monotonically.
