Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling transmit power in a wireless local area network (WLAN). For example, a station may receive, from an access point (AP), a beacon frame that includes a field indicating a maximum transmission power for at least one of a plurality of operational bandwidth that the AP supports. The station may determine a transmission power for a signal to be transmitted to the AP based on the at least one of the plurality of operational bandwidths indicated in the received beacon. The station may then transmit the signal at the determined transmission power.
Claims18
A method for use in a station (STA), the method comprising:
- receiving, from an access point (AP), an information element that indicates one or more maximum transmission powers associated with a plurality of operational bandwidths that the STA supports;
- and
- transmitting, to the AP, a signal in an operational bandwidth that the STA supports at a transmission power determined based on the indicated one or more maximum transmission powers in the received information element.
A station (STA) comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive, from an access point (AP), an information element that indicates one or more maximum transmission powers associated with a plurality of operational bandwidths that the STA supports;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit, to the AP, a signal in an operational bandwidth that the STA supports at a transmission power determined based on the indicated one or more maximum transmission powers in the received information element.
An access point (AP) comprising:
- a transmitter configured to transmit, to a station (STA), an information element that indicates one or more maximum transmission powers associated with a plurality of operational bandwidths that the STA supports;
- and
- a receiver configured to receive, from the STA, a signal in an operational bandwidth that the STA supports at a transmission power determined based on the indicated one or more maximum transmission powers in the transmitted information element.
