Reducing power consumption via adapting broadcast power for wireless communications

A device, comprising:

• a memory that stores executable modules;
• and
• a processor, coupled to the memory, that executes the executable modules to perform operations of the apparatus, the executable modules comprising:
• a broadcasting interception module configured to send, during a device discovery process occurring in advance of establishing a communication connection, a broadcasting message with a current power and configured to perform interception;
• a request judging module configured to, in response to interception of a request by the broadcasting interception module, determine whether a first sender of the request is a same sender as a second sender of a historical request;
• a power adjusting module configured to, in response to the first sender being determined to be the same sender as the second sender of the historical request, record the current power as a historical power, and decrease the current power;
• and
• a power determining module configured to, in response to a determination that a current broadcasting event has ended, determine the historical power as a minimum power for the device discovery process, end the device discovery process, establish the communication connection with the requesting device, resulting in an established communication connection, and use the historical power as a transmission power for the established communication connection.

A computer readable storage device, comprising at least one executable instruction, which, in response to execution, causes a broadcasting device for wireless communications comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:

• sending a broadcasting message during a device discovery process occurring before initiating a communication connection, wherein the broadcast message comprises a current power;
• when a request is intercepted, determining whether a sender of the request is identical to another sender of at least one historical request, and if the sender is identical to the other sender, recording the current power as a historical power, and decreasing the current power;
• and
• determining whether a current broadcasting event has ended ends, if the current broadcasting event has ended, determining the historical power as a minimum power for the device discovery process, ending the device discovery process, establishing the communication connection with the requesting device, resulting in an established communication connection, and using the minimum power as a transmission power for the established communication connection, and, if the current broadcasting event has not ended, performing another iteration of the sending.

A device for wireless communications, comprising a processor and a memory, the memory storing executable instructions, the processor being connected to the memory through a communication bus, and when the device for wireless communications operates, the processor executes the executable instructions stored in the memory, causing the device to perform operations, comprising:

• during a device discovery process before a communication connection is established, sending a broadcasting message with a current power and performing interception;
• when a request is intercepted, judging whether a first sender of the request is identical with a second sender of at least one historical request, and if yes, recording the current power as a historical power, and decreasing the current power;
• and
• judging whether a current broadcasting event ends, if yes, determining the historical power as a minimum power for the device discovery process, ending the device discovery process, establishing the communication connection with the requesting device, resulting in an established communication connection, and using the minimum power as a transmission power for the established communication connection, and otherwise, returning to the sending of the broadcasting message.
