1. A method for processing communication signals in a return path of a satellite, the method comprising:

  • receiving, via an antenna coupled to the return path, a number of data signals on a single frequency channel, wherein each of the number of data signals occupies a unique time-frequency sub-channel of the single frequency channel, originates from a corresponding one of a number of user terminals (UTs), and includes a plurality of time slots dynamically allocated to a group of user equipment (UE) devices associated with the corresponding UT;

    determining a combined power level of all the number of received data signals that occupy all the time-frequency sub-channels of the single frequency channel; and

    adjusting an amplifier gain applied to the number of received data signals in the return path based, at least in part, on the combined power level.
