Abstract:
A system for reducing interference generated by a communication device which nominally transmits data at a variable rate and which nominally varies transmit power in response to said variable rate, said system comprising:means for directing said communication device to continuously transmit RF energy at a full rate power level irrespective of said variable rate; andmeans, in said communication device and responsive to said means for directing, for transmitting RF energy continuously at said full rate power level irrespective of said variable rate, whereby said interference is reduced proximate said communication device due to continuous transmission thereby at said full rate power level;wherein said communication device nominally transmits non-full frames of data containing a variable number of bits in response to said variable rate, and wherein said means for transmitting comprises:a controller for generating full frames of data containing a fixed number of bits irrespective of said variable rate; anda transmitter for transmitting said full frames of data at said full-rate power level; andwherein said communication device nominally distributes said variable number of bits pseudo-randomly in said non-full frames of data, and wherein said full frames of data generated by said controller contain a variable number of padding bits having a predetermined pattern.
