First Claim
1. A vehicle telematics device, comprising:
- a processor;
a transceiver coupled to the processor to receive data to be transmitted;
an amplifier coupled to the transceiver to receive a transceiver output signal, the amplifier coupled to the processor to receive an amplification control signal to control the amplification of the transceiver output signal by the amplifier; and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing a transmission control application;
wherein the transmission control application directs the processor to;
format the data, including prepending a buffer signal to the data before data modulation begins, to be transmitted by the transceiver;
generate the amplification control signal;
direct the amplifier to sequentially amplify the transceiver output signal based on the amplification control signal;
transmit the formatted data; and
direct the amplifier to sequentially de-amplify the transceiver output signal based on the amplification control signal;
