Claim:
1. A method for controlling transmission power of a wireless device, comprising: establishing a WiFi link to a communication device; transmitting data packets to the communication device according to a first transmission power; adjusting a data rate of the data packets according to a packet error rate (PER); transmitting data packets to the communication device according to a second transmission power smaller than the first transmission power when the data rate of the data packets reaches a highest data rate and the PER satisfies a specific condition; and transmitting data packets to the communication device according to the first transmission power when the data rate of the data packets reaches the highest data rate and the PER does not satisfy the specific condition; obtaining a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) corresponding to the communication device; and wherein the step of transmitting data packets to the communication device according to the second transmission power further comprises: transmitting data packets to the communication device according to the first transmission power when the data rate of the data packets reaches the highest data rate, the PER does not exceed a first predetermined threshold and the RSSI does not exceed a second predetermined threshold; and transmitting data packets to the communication device according to the second transmission power when the data rate of the data packets reaches the highest data rate, the PER does not exceed a first predetermined threshold and the RSSI exceeds the second predetermined threshold.
