2.13Power Management 
RF power management is a radio design feature that controls the power level (typically 
expressed in dBm) of the RF signal received from a transmitter by a receiver. The 
traditional goal of power management is to ensure that the RF signal at a receiver is 
strong enough to maintain the radio link under changing weather and link conditions. 
The Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) is not a constant envelope waveform. 
Therefore, the average power and peak power are different. The difference in peak and 
average power depends on the constellation type and shaping factor, where spectral 
efficiency such as more constellation points or lower shaping factor leading to peak 
powers higher than average powers. The peak power is typically 5-7 dB greater than the 
average power and never exceeds 7 dB. Regulatory requirements are sometimes based 
on peak EIRP which is based on peak power and antenna gain. 
Traditional power management techniques such as Constant Transmit Power Control 
(CTPC) and Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) transmit at a high power level to 
overcome the effects of fading and interference. However, these techniques continue to 
operate at a higher power level than needed to maintain the link in clear weather. 
Because transmit power remains high when the weather clears, the level of system 
interference
 increases. 
Radios operating at high transmit power will interfere with other radios, even if the 
interfering source is miles away from the victim. High interference levels can degrade 
signal quality to the point that wireless radio links become unreliable and network 
availability suffers. The traditional solution to system interference is to increase the 
distance between radios. However, the resulting sparse deployment model is 
inappropriate for metropolitan areas.
