Claim One:
1. A method for verifying transmit power levels in a signal point limited transmission system, wherein said system having: a first device configured to communicate with a second device over a communication channel; said method comprising the steps of: receiving at said first device, a plurality of signal points from said second device, said plurality of signal points having a first computed transmit power, as determined by said second device, less than or equal to a transmit power limit, said first computed transmit power being calculated in accordance with a transmit power calculation formula; calculating, at said first device, in accordance with said transmit power calculation formula, a second computed transmit power of said plurality of signal points; and comparing, at said first device, said second computed transmit power with said transmit power limit, to determine whether said second computed transmit power is less than or equal to said transmit power limit.
