1. A method operational in a communication device for determining a power control set point, comprising:
- calculating the power control set point in the communication device based on a combination of a plurality of factors including;
a pilot bit error rate for a received pilot signal, a normalized signal variance for the received pilot signal, and an average number of fingers in lock during receipt of the received pilot signal; and
providing the power control set point to a transmitter to adjust transmissions accordingly.

Abstract
According to one aspect of the invention, a method for determining a power control set point is provided. In one embodiment, the power control set point is determined based on one or more factors including a first factor corresponding to a pilot bit error rate, a second factor corresponding to a normalized signal variance, and a third factor corresponding to an average number of fingers in lock.
