Mitigating impact of power imbalance on remote data rate in wireless local area network
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communications in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, comprising:
- transmitting, by a multi-radio user equipment (UE), a wireless local area network (WLAN) acknowledgement (ACK) packet at a first transmit power level to a WLAN access point in response to a first WLAN data packet; and
transmitting, by the multi-radio UE to the WLAN access point, a second WLAN data packet at a second transmit power level that is lower than the first transmit power level of the WLAN ACK packet.

Abstract
A method for mitigating the impact of a power imbalance on a remote data rate in a wireless local area network (WLAN) includes transmitting a wireless local area network (WLAN) acknowledgement (ACK) packet at a first transmit power level to a remote device. The method further includes transmitting, to the remote device, a WLAN data packet at a second transmit power level that is lower than the first transmit power level of the WLAN ACK packet. Another method for mitigating the impact of a power imbalance on a remote data rate in a wireless local area network (WLAN) may include selecting a wireless local area network (WLAN) acknowledgement (ACK) packet transmit rate independent from a rate at which a WLAN data packet is received. This method further includes transmitting, to a remote device, a WLAN ACK packet at the selected WLAN ACK packet transmit rate.
