1. A method for optimizing a communication link, said method comprising: dividing a service area associated with a first communication system into a plurality of segments; associating a link configuration with each segment of said plurality of segments; implementing a control loop for a first segment of said plurality of segments when a remote communication system is operating therein, whereby said link configuration associated with said first segment is adjusted as a function of link conditions experienced by said remote communication system; and implementing a control loop for a second segment of said plurality of segments when said remote communication system is operating therein, whereby said link configuration associated with said second segment is adjusted as a function of link conditions experienced by said remote communication system.
