Adaptive equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) for multi-link devices in a single regulatory sub-band

A system comprising:

• a memory storage;
• and
• a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processing unit is operative to:
• establish synchronous downlink multi-link operations with a first link that operates in a sub-band and a second link that operates in the sub-band;
• determine a first power level for both the first link and second link;
• determine a second power level for the first link and a third power level for the second link, wherein the second power level is greater than the third power level;
• provide the second power level for the first link and the third power level for the second link;
• determine a first free space path loss for the first link;
• determine a second free space path loss for the second link;
• and
• determine the second power level and the third power level to make the first free space path loss equal the second free space path loss;
• determine that a first client, in communication over the first link, is more distant from the AP than a second client, in communication over the second link;
• and
• based on the determination that the first client is more distant, determine that the second power level is greater the third power level.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a set of instructions which when executed perform a method executed by the set of instructions comprising:

• establishing synchronous downlink multi-link operations with a first link that operates in a sub-band and a second link that operates in the sub-band;
• determining a first power level for both the first link and second link;
• determining a second power level for the first link and a third power level for the second link, wherein the second power level is greater than the third power level;
• allotting the second power level for the first link and the third power level for the second link;
• determining, by the AP, a first number of antennas to deliver the second power level;
• and
• determining, by the AP, a second number of antennas to deliver the third power level.
