  • establishing a two-way wireless communication between a mobile unit and the base station; and

    as a function of a position of the communication between the mobile unit and the base station in a predetermined traffic profile maintained by the base station, anticipating a transmit power requirement of the mobile unit;

    sending a signal from the base station to the mobile unit in response to the anticipating step, and which is operable to direct the mobile unit to either increase or decrease its transmit power during a subsequent time interval;

    performing the anticipating and sending steps as long as the communication between the mobile unit and the base station remains within the predetermined traffic profile;

    handling the communication between the mobile unit and the base station without performing the anticipating step if the communication between the mobile unit and the base station no longer conforms to the predetermined traffic profile maintained by the base station.
