First Claim
Patent Images
1. One or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-readable instructions that when executed by a processor of a computer cause the computer to perform a method, comprising:
- monitoring a location of a mobile device that has both cellular wireless capabilities and non-cellular wireless capabilities, the cellular wireless capabilities utilizing a first set of radio channels and the non-cellular wireless capabilities utilizing a second different set of radio channels;
obtaining a distance between the location of the mobile device and a location of a wireless access point;
selecting an individual radio channel from the second different set of radio channels upon which the mobile device can communicate with the wireless access point;
determining, based upon the distance, a transmission power for the mobile device to communicate with the wireless access point on the individual radio channel; and
,causing the mobile device to attempt to offload at least some data communication from the cellular capabilities to the individual radio channel at the transmission power.

Abstract
The concepts relate to radio channel utilization. One example can monitor a location of a mobile device that has both a first type of wireless capabilities and a second type of wireless capabilities. The example can determine a distance from the location of the mobile device to a location of a wireless device. The example can cause data to be transmitted from the mobile device to the wireless device at a power level based upon the distance.
