Abstract:
1. A method of determining to adjust a transmission power cap for a device to mitigate interference at least at an access point, comprising: obtaining a transmission power cap from an access point, wherein the transmission power cap is computed for a plurality of devices by the access point, and wherein the transmission power cap is common for the plurality of devices; determining that a transmission power of the device utilized to transmit one or more signals to the access point is at or at least at a threshold level from the transmission power cap; and notifying the access point that the transmission power of the device is at or is at least the threshold level from the transmission power cap; and receiving an individually adjusted transmission power cap for the device from the access point in response to the notification, wherein the access point individually adjusts the transmission power cap for the device based on the notification.
