Abstract:
1. A method for determining transmission characteristics over a first communication path (PATH 1 ) and a second communication path (PATH 2 ), said first communication path originating from a first transceiver unit (TU 1 ) and terminating in a second transceiver unit (TU 2 ), said second communication path originating from said second transceiver unit and terminating in said first transceiver unit, said method comprising the steps of: determining in said second transceiver unit a first data rate (B sending said first data rate to said first transceiver unit, determining in said first transceiver unit a second data rate (B characterized in that, in the event of said first data rate being higher than a first target data rate (BT 1 ) and said second data rate being lower than a second target data rate (BT 2 ), said method further comprises the step of determining an optimal transmit power (P 1 ′) over said first communication path lower than said first initial transmit power such that capacity of said second communication path is increased beyond said second target data rate while capacity of said first communication path is kept higher than or equal to said first target data rate.
