A power control feature is implemented within SEAMCAT for the interfering link (see example in Section ‎4.9). When this feature is activated, this introduces a power control gain for the interefering link transmitter, defined as:

(Eq. 184)

where:

: power supplied to the ILT antenna (before power control);
: ILT antenna gain in the direction of the ILR;
: ILR antenna gain in the direction of the ILT;
: path loss between the ILT and the ILR;
: power control receiver threshold, if the received power is lower than this threshold, then no power control takes place (dBm);
: power control dynamic range (dB);
: steps of power control (dB).

The power received in the interfering link receiver results in:

(Eq. 185)

It distinguished between 3 cases:

Case 1 - (Received power below power threshold):

Case (i+1) - (within power control limits):

where i is an integer ranging from 1 to

Case (n_step +2) - (beyond power control limits):
