First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of controlling output power in a wireless local area network, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a wireless communication interface of a communication device, data transmissions from a data transmitter;
monitoring, by the communication device, at least one quality indicator indicative of a quality of service of the data transmissions and/or of a link quality, the monitoring being performed at an application layer of the communication device;
generating, by an application executed on the application layer of the communication device, at least one power control message as a function of the monitored at least one quality indicator; and
transmitting the at least one power control message to the data transmitter.

Abstract
A communication device receives data transmissions from a data transmitter. The communication device monitors at least one quality indicator indicative of a quality of service of the data transmissions and/or of a link quality. The monitoring is performed at an application layer of the communication device. An application executed on the application layer of the communication device generates at least one power control message as a function of the monitored at least one quality indicator and transmits the at least one power control message to the data transmitter.

20. A wireless local area network comprising:
-
a data transmitter; and a communication device for a wireless local area network, the communication device comprising; a wireless communication interface configured to receive data transmissions from the data transmitter, and a processor executing an application which is configured to monitor, at the application layer of the communication device, at least one quality indicator indicative of a quality of service of the data transmissions and/or of a link quality; generate at least one power control message as a function of the monitored at least one quality indicator; and transmit the at least one power control message to the data transmitter; the data transmitter being configured to adjust an output power of the data transmitter in response to receiving the at least one power control message.
