DYNAMIC MAXIMUM TRANSMISSION POWER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17720581 Titled 'DYNAMIC MAXIMUM TRANSMISSION POWER'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a wireless communication device that receives a limit on the average power it can transmit over a certain period of time. It sets an initial maximum transmission power based on this limit and transmits a signal using this power. If the actual transmission power used is lower than the initial limit, the device calculates the remaining power and adds it to the initial limit to determine a new maximum transmission power for the next transmission. The device then transmits a signal using this new limit.


Original Abstract Submitted

A wireless communication device receives an average transmission power limit for a time period, and determines a first MTPL for a first time of the time period by setting the first MTPL to the average transmission power limit. The wireless communication device then transmits a signal at the first time using a first transmission power not to exceed the first MTPL. If the first transmission power is less than the first MTPL, then the wireless communication device determines residual transmission power based on a difference between the first MTPL and the first transmission power. The wireless communication device determines a second MTPL for a second time of the time period by adding the residual transmission power to the first MTPL. The wireless communication device then transmits a signal at the second transmission power not to exceed the second MTPL.
