A method and system for controlling uplink power in a satellite communication system (100) using power leveling is provided. Uplink signals, such as synchronization bursts, are periodically transmitted from a User Earth Terminal (UET) (110) to a processing satellite (140, 350). The total energy of the received uplink signal is determined at the satellite (350) and then compared to a predetermined threshold energy, and a power adjustment indicator is generated. The power adjustment indicator is then transmitted to the UET (310). The UET (310) then controls its uplink transmit power level based on the power adjustment indicator. For example, if the power .adjustment indicator indicates that the received uplink energy at the satellite (350) is less than the predetermined threshold, the UET (310) may raise its uplink power. The uplink signal may be a synchronization signal and the total energy of the uplink signal may be determined by a synchronization processor. Additionally, the power adjustment indicator may be a one-bit indicator or a plurality-bit indicator and may be packaged into ATM cells (500) for transmission from the satellite (350) to the germinal (310). The power level of the uplink signal may be adjusted upwards or downwards in increments of varying sizes, or the power level may simply be maintained based upon the magnitude of difference between the total energy of the uplink signal and the predetermined threshold.
