Method for transmit and receive power control in mesh systems
First Claim
1. A method for controlling transmit and receive power level of a mesh point (MP) operating in a mesh wireless communication network, the mesh network including a plurality of MPs, the method comprising:
- sending power capability information of a new MP to at least one existing MP in the mesh network;
the existing MP accepting the new MP as a member of the mesh network and sending allowed power setting information to the new MP; and
, the new MP adjusting its power level in accordance with the allowed power setting information.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling transmit and receive power level of a mesh point (MP) operating in a mesh wireless communication network of a plurality of MPs. Power capability information of a new MP is sent to at least one existing MP in the mesh network. The existing MP accepts the new MP as a member of the mesh network and sends allowed power setting information to the new MP. The new MP adjusts its power level in accordance with the allowed power setting information.
