DETERMINING A TARGET TRANSMIT POWER OF A WIRELESS TRANSMISSION
First Claim
1. A method in a first wireless device, the method comprising:
- preparing to send a wireless transmission to a second wireless device;
determining whether any transmitters other than said second wireless device are within range of said first wireless device;
if no transmitters other than said second wireless device are within range of said first wireless device, setting a first target transmit power for said wireless transmission; and
if at least one transmitter other than said second wireless device is within range of said first wireless device, setting a second target transmit power for said wireless transmission, wherein said second target transmit power is lower than said first target transmit power.

Abstract
Different target transmit powers are determined for different wireless transmissions from a wireless device. The target transmit power of a wireless transmission may depend upon whether any transmitters other than the device to which the wireless transmission is to be sent are within range of the sending wireless device. The target transmit power of a wireless transmission may be based, at least in part, on a current location of a device to which one or more frames carried by the wireless transmission are addressed. The target transmit power of a wireless transmission may be based, at least in part, on confidentiality of data carried by the wireless transmission.
