Method for adjusting a transmitting power in a wireless communications network
First Claim
1. A method of adjusting a transmitting power of a wireless sending entity in a network of wireless communicating entities, including the steps of:
- identifying the entities adjacent to the sending entity, being the entities of the network, separate from the sending entity, from which the sending entity is able to receive the messages;
identifying, among the adjacent entities, a minimum constellation associated with the sending entity, as the smallest set of entities adjacent to the sending entity and included in a circle centered on the sending entity such that at least three of the entities of said set form a convex polygon circumscribing the sending entity; and
adjusting the transmitting power of the sending entity to a value sufficient for the messages sent by the sending entity to reach all the entities of the minimum constellation associated with the sending entity.

Abstract
Entities of a wireless communication network adjacent to a given sending entity, i.e. entities of the network from which the sending entity is able to receive messages are identified. Among the adjacent entities, a minimum constellation associated with the sending entity is further identified as the smallest set of entities adjacent to the sending entity and included in a circle centered on the sending entity such that at least three of the entities of the set form a convex polygon circumscribing the sending entity. The transmitting power of the sending entity is then adjusted to a value sufficient for the messages sent by the sending entity to reach all the entities of the minimum constellation associated therewith.

9. A wireless communication unit for a network of wireless communicating entities, comprising:
-
means of identifying entities adjacent to said unit, being the entities of the network, separate from said communication unit, from which said communication unit is able to receive the messages;
means of identifying a minimum constellation associated with said communication unit as, the smallest set of entities adjacent to said communication unit included in a circle centered on said communication unit such that at least three of the entities of said set form a convex polygon circumscribing said communication unit;
means of adjusting the a transmitting power of said communication unit to a value sufficient for the messages sent by the communication unit to reach all the entities of the minimum constellation associated with said communication unit. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

10. A network of wireless communicating entities, wherein each communication entity comprises:
-
means of identifying entities adjacent to said communication entity being the entities of the network, separate from said communication entity, from which said communication entity is able to receive messages;
means of identifying a minimum constellation associated with said communication entity, as the smallest set of entities adjacent to said communication entity included in a circle centered on said communication entity such that at least three of the entities of said set form a convex polygon circumscribing said communication entity and means of adjusting the transmitting power of said communication entity to a value sufficient for the messages sent by said communication entity to reach all the entities of the minimum constellation associated with said communication entity.

11. A computer program product, including instructions for carrying out the following steps upon execution by processing means incorporated in the a sending entity belonging to a network of wireless communicating entities:
-
identifying the entities adjacent to the sending entity, being the entities of the network, separate from the sending entity, from which the sending entity is able to receive messages;
identifying, among the adjacent entities, a minimum constellation associated with the sending entity as the smallest set of entities adjacent to the sending entity and included in a circle centered on the sending entity such that at least three of the entities of said set form a convex polygon circumscribing the sending entity; and
adjusting a transmitting power of the sending entity to a value sufficient for the messages sent by the sending entity to reach all the entities of the minimum constellation associated with the sending entity. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
