1. A method for setting a power level for an ultra-wideband communication signal, comprising:

  • setting an initial power level for a first ultra-wideband signal;

    encoding on the first ultra-wideband signal information indicative of the initial power level;

    receiving the first ultra-wideband signal at a receiver;

    measuring the strength of the received first ultra-wideband signal;

    decoding at the receiver the information indicative of the initial power level;

    generating an attenuation factor using the decoded information and the measured strength;

    determining a new power level responsive to the attenuation factor; and

    setting the new power level for a second ultra-wideband signal; and

    encoding on the second ultra-wideband signal information indicative of the new power level.
