    Fig. 2. Dynamic behavior of the average power and transmitter g a i n factor

    for DTT =100

    around the desired (s teady) values.

    In the SJSU model, the ATPC loop is activated once every DT

    s e c o n d s , where DT is a mult ip le of the symbol period T , and

    can be set by the user.

    To i ll us t ra t e t h is point, the SJSU model was run us ing a

    normalized loop s a m p l i n g interval equa l to D T / T = 1 0 0 ,andrain attenuation A= 3 dB. Clearly, the ATPC loop becomes

    unstable and o s c i l l a t e s , as shown in Fig. 2. around the desired

    values. Both the estimated average received power P [ n ]

    (shown on the top) and the transmitter ga in factor GT (shown

    on the b o t t o m ) oscillate and as a result the link will eventual ly

    fail.

    As Figures 3 to 5 show, increas ing the value of the s a m p l i n g

    period ( i . e . , decreas ing the s a m p l i n g rate) of the ATPC loop

    improves s t a b i l i t y . In the results reported in these figures, the

    rain attenuation was set to A= 3 dB. We also see from these

    results that the value of the estimated average power remains

    within a value of dB from the t a rg e t value ( 0 dBW), jus t as

    expected. Using a normalized s a m p l i n g period of DT/T =200results in an estimated mea n received power approx ima te ly

    equa l to ( the desired value). On the other h a n d , a value of

    DT/T =500 results in a mean value g r e a t e r than 1 , and a valueof DT/T =1000 results in a mean value less than uni ty.

    B. Sensitivity to rain attenuation

    The model was used to ana lyze the effect of rain attenuation

    A (dB) on the p e r f o r m a n c e of an ATPC loop us ing a fixed

    s a m p l i n g factor DT/T = 2 0 0 . Rain attenuation values of A= 6dB and A I 0 dB g ive the results shown in Figs. 6 and 7 ,respectively. These computer simulation results suggest that as

    the ra in attenuation value increases, the ATPC loop might

    An impor t an t f inding is that the s a m p l i n g interval of the

    ATPC loop should be at l e a s t e q u a l to the l en g th of the

    i m p u l s e response of the ave rag ing filter ( u sed to estimate

    power at the receiver) plus the return delay. We have also

    found that an ATPC loop is insensitive to CCI provided that

    the value of the carrier-to-interference r a t i o ( C / I )is at l e a s tequa l to 6 dB.

    An ATPC loop is also insensitive to the m u l t i p a t h channel's

    relative notch depth . Based on the s tudy and results reported in

    t h i s paper, the fol lowing impor t an t recommendationscan

    bemade: For f r e q u e n c y coordination purposes, mixed

    d e p l o y m e n t s (non-ATPC and ATPC) should be avoided. Full

    pa th clearance (0 .6 of the first Fresnel zone for the worst

    month) must exist over an ATPC transmission path .

    Careful calibration of antennas and amplifiers should a l w a y s

    be required. ATPC power should not remain at the maximum

    level for mor e than certain amount of time. An ATPC system

    should not use b it error rate as a metric equivalent to average

    received power
