Abstract:
1. A method, implemented by a user device programmed to perform the following, comprising: transmitting first data at a specified transmit power level; detecting a presence of a human body part proximate to the user device; in response to the detection of the presence of the human body part, polling a current transmit power of the user device at a first polling rate; at each polling instance, determining whether the current transmit power exceeds a transmit power threshold; in response to the current transmit power exceeding the transmit power threshold at one of the polling instances, adjusting the first polling rate to a second polling rate and polling the current transmit power at the second polling rate; in response to the current transmit power still exceeding the transmit power threshold at a subsequent polling instance, reducing the specified transmit power level by a first specified amount; and transmitting second data at the reduced transmit power level.
