Abstract:
A method of optimizing multi-functioning of a plurality of wireless peripheral devices in a computer system, the computer system comprising, a processor, a plurality of processor peripherals, a plurality of peripheral devices coupled to the computer system, and a plurality of wireless peripheral devices, the method comprising:monitoring strength of a signal of the plurality of wireless peripheral devices; detecting the strength of the signal falling below an optimal range of at least one of the plurality of wireless peripheral devices; determining whether the transmission power may be increased to achieve a signal strength closer to the optimal range and, in response to being able to achieve a signal strength closer to the optimal range, increasing the transmission power; determining whether the receiver gain may be increased to achieve a signal strength closer to the optimal range and, in response to being able to achieve a signal strength closer to the optimal range, increasing the receiver gain; and determining whether any other device parameters may be adjusted to achieve a signal strength closer to the optimal range and, in response to being able to achieve a signal strength closer to the optimal range, adjusting the other device parameters.
