Claim Text:
1. A method comprising the steps of: a) measuring a return power level present at antennas of a modifiable mobile communication device at regular time intervals; b) determining that an output power of the modifiable mobile communication device is greater than a predefined specific absorption rate level, and comparing the return power level to a first threshold; c) determining that the return power level is greater than the first threshold, implementing a mobile transmit diversity algorithm combined with a reflection-based beamforming technique, the reflection-based beamforming technique providing an adaptive beam shaping pattern that shapes a transmitted beam pattern to minimize an amount of reflected transmitted power; d) re-measuring the return power level; e) determining that the return power level has increased, and applying a change to a diversity parameter of the mobile transmit diversity algorithm based on the results of the re-measuring step; and f) determining that the return power level is equal to or greater than a second threshold, repeating steps c-e until the return power level is less than the second threshold.
