1. A system comprising:
- a first sensor device; and
a second sensor device in communication with the first sensor device, wherein the second sensor device is configured to;
receive, by a receiver of the second sensor device and from a transmitter of the first sensor device, a first signal;
determine a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of the first signal;
determine, based on the RSSI exceeding a sensitivity threshold of the receiver and based on a difference between the RSSI and the sensitivity threshold, a transmission power level; and
send, by a transmitter of the second sensor device, a second signal using the transmission power level.

Abstract
A system may comprise a sensor device. The sensor device may be configured to determine a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of a signal received from another device. The sensor device may be configured to determine, based on the RSSI and a sensitivity threshold, a transmission power level. The sensor device may be configured to send a second signal using the determined transmission power level.

8. A method comprising:
-
determining a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of a signal sent to a first sensor device from a second sensor device; determining, based on the RSSI exceeding a sensitivity threshold of a receiver of the first sensor device and based on a difference between the RSSI and the sensitivity threshold, a transmission power level for a transmitter of at least one of the first sensor device or the second sensor device; and causing, based on the transmission power level, a power level of the transmitter of the at least one of the first sensor device or the second sensor device to be modified. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A first sensor device comprising:
-
one or more processors; and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first sensor device to; determine a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of a first signal, from a transmitter of a second sensor device, received by a receiver of the first sensor device; determine a sensitivity threshold of the receiver; determine, based on the RSSI exceeding the sensitivity threshold of the receiver and based on a difference between the RSSI and the sensitivity threshold, a transmission power level; and send, by a transmitter of the first sensor device, a second signal using the transmission power level. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
