Adjusting transmit power of a wireless communication device
First Claim
1. A method for adjusting transmit power of a wireless communication device, the method comprises:
- determining requirements of a wireless communication between the wireless communication device and a receiving wireless communication device;
determining whether a current transmit power level of the wireless communication can be lowered without adjusting the requirements of the wireless communication; and
when the current transmit power level of the wireless communication can be lowered without adjusting the requirements of the wireless communication, adjusting the current transmit power level to a second transmit power level, wherein the second transmit power level is less that the current transmit power level.

Abstract
A method for adjusting transmit power of a wireless communication device begins by determining requirements of a wireless communication between the wireless communication device and a receiving wireless communication device. The method continues by determining whether a current transmit power level of the wireless communication can be lowered without adjusting the requirements of the wireless communication. The method continues by when the current transmit power level of the wireless communication can be lowered without adjusting the requirements of the wireless communication, adjusting the current transmit power level to a second transmit power level, wherein the second transmit power level is less that the current transmit power level.

9. The method of claim I further comprises:
-
determining whether the current transmit power level of the wireless communication on a first channel and a second current transmit power level of a second wireless communication on a second channel create an unacceptable level of adjacent channel interference or an unacceptable level of total transmit power;
when the unacceptable level of total transmit power or the unacceptable level of adjacent channel interference is determined, determining whether the second current transmit power level of the wireless communication can be lowered without adjusting the requirements of the second wireless communication; and
when the second current transmit power level of the wireless communication can be lowered without adjusting the requirements of the second wireless communication, adjusting the second current transmit power level to a third transmit power level, wherein the third transmit power level is less that the current transmit power level.

10. A wireless transmitter comprises:
-
processing module operably coupled to convert outbound data into outbound baseband signals; and
transmitter section operably coupled to convert the outbound baseband signals into outbound radio frequency (RF) signals, wherein the processing module is further operably coupled to;
determine requirements of a wireless communication between the wireless transmitter and a receiving wireless communication device;
determine whether a current transmit power level of the wireless communication can be lowered without adjusting the requirements of the wireless communication; and
when the current transmit power level of the wireless communication can be lowered without adjusting the requirements of the wireless communication, adjust the current transmit power level to a second transmit power level, wherein the second transmit power level is less that the current transmit power level. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
