Dynamic maximum transmission power

A method, comprising:

• receiving, at processing circuitry of a wireless communication device, an average transmission power limit for a time period;
• transmitting, using a transmitter of the wireless communication device, a first signal at a first transmission power less than a first maximum transmission power limit during a first time interval, the first maximum transmission power limit being based on the average transmission power limit;
• determining, using the processing circuitry, residual transmission power based on the first maximum transmission power limit and the first transmission power;
• and
• transmitting, using the transmitter, a second signal at a second transmission power less than a second maximum transmission power limit during a second time interval of the time period, the second maximum transmission power limit being based on a duty cycle of an executing process and a sum of the average transmission power limit and the residual transmission power.

One or more tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable media, storing instructions configured to cause processing circuitry to:

• receive an average transmission power limit for a time period;
• determine a minimum transmission power for a time interval of the time period based on adding the average transmission power limit and a residual transmission power from a previous signal;
• determine a maximum transmission power limit for the time interval based on the minimum transmission power and a duty cycle of an executing process;
• and
• cause a transmitter to transmit a signal using a transmission power not to exceed the maximum transmission power limit during the time interval.
