Navigation aware power limiting

A computer system for controlling an amount of radiated power that is transmitted to a particular location, the computer system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a first antenna and a second antenna, the first antenna being mounted at a position that is vertically higher than a mounting position of the second antenna;
• and
• one or more computer-readable hardware storage devices having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors and that cause the computer system to:
• determine position information for both the first antenna and the second antenna;
• determine environmental information for a terrain over which the first antenna and the second antenna are operating;
• determine an antenna radiation pattern for both the first antenna and the second antenna;
• identify a ground-based feature that is located on the terrain over which the first antenna and the second antenna are operating, wherein the environmental information includes information about the ground-based feature;
• and
• control a collective power that is radiated to the ground-based feature and that is transmitted from a combination of the first antenna and the second antenna so that the collective power is less than a determined threshold, wherein the controlling of the collective power is based on 1) the position information for the first antenna and the second antenna, 2) the information about the ground-based feature, 3) the antenna radiation patterns for the first antenna and the second antenna, and 4) a combined transmission effect from a signal originally transmitted from the first antenna and a signal originally transmitted from the second antenna;
• whereby the collective power is continuously maximized at the ground-based feature while continuously staying under the determined threshold.

• and
• one or more computer-readable hardware storage devices having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors and that cause the computer system to:
• determine position information for each of the one or more antennas;
• determine environmental information for a defined three-dimensional space within which each of the one or more antennas is operating;
• determine an antenna radiation pattern for each of the one or more antennas;
• identify, within the defined three-dimensional space, one or more points of interest, wherein a collective power that is radiated to the one or more points of interest and that is transmitted from a combination of the one or more antennas will be restricted to be less than a determined threshold;
• and
• control the collective power that is radiated to the one or more points of interest and that is transmitted from the combination of the one or more antennas so that the collective power is less than the determined threshold, wherein the controlling of the collective power is based on 1) the position information for each of the one or more antennas, 2) the environmental information for the defined three-dimensional space, 3) the antenna radiation pattern for each of the one or more antennas, 4) a transmission power level of each of the one or more antennas and 5) a transmission rate of each of the one or more antennas.
