Abstract

See full text

A communications system (30) includes a transceiver (42) for transmitting a plurality of bins. Individual bin BERs (bit-error-rates) are iteratively equalized. This is accomplished by applying a fine gains adjustment to the transmit power of the transceiver (42). Specifically, the BER of the bins is equalized by calculating an adjustment gain and subtracting the adjustment gain from the bin currently having the maximum margin and adding the same adjustment gain to the bin currently having the minimum margin. The iterations continue until all of the bin margins are within a predetermined threshold. This changes the individual bin transmit power levels without substantially changing the aggregate transmit power level. The BER is substantially equalized, without causing the individual transmit power levels to exceed a predetermined range, such as that required by ANSI T1E1.4.
