Claim:
1. A method for adaptive adjustment of node power level in a wireless node network having a plurality of nodes and a server, comprising: fixing, by the server, an output power setting on a first of the nodes to a first power level when the first node is located in a first area, the first power level corresponding to a density of the nodes operating within the first area; detecting, by the server, if the first node is anticipated to be moving from the first area to a second area by accessing context data related to an expected transit path of the first node; detecting, by the server, if the first node has moved to the second area; and adapting, by the server, the output power setting on the first node to a second power level when the first node is located in the second area, the second power level corresponding to a density of the nodes operating within the second area.
