Abstract:
1. A method for wireless communication, the method comprising: receiving, via a receiver of a device, a link-setup request through a wireless network from another device, the link-setup request requesting a current transmit-power of a transmitter of the device and received at a power level insufficient to saturate the receiver of the device; transmitting, via the transmitter of the device, a link-setup response through the wireless network to the other device, the link-setup response indicating the current transmit-power of the transmitter; receiving, via the receiver of the device and in response to the link-setup response, an indication of a desired data-signal transmit-power through the wireless network from the other device, the indication of a desired data-signal transmit-power indicating a desired transmit-power at which data-signals are to be transmitted from the device; and transmitting, via the transmitter, the data-signals through the wireless network to the other device at the desired data-signal transmit-power.
