Abstract
An electronic device includes a transmitter and processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the transmitter and configured to determine a position of a communication hub relative to the electronic device and cause the transmitter to transmit a signal directed to the communication hub at a transmission power based on the position.
Claims20
An electronic device, comprising:
- a transmitter;
- and
- processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the transmitter and configured to
- receive a first indication of a position of a communication hub relative to the electronic device,
- cause the transmitter to transmit a signal directed to the communication hub at a transmission power based on the position;
- receive a second indication of an updated position of the communication hub relative to the electronic device based on not receiving an acknowledgement signal associated with the signal from the communication hub within a threshold period of time;
- and
- cause the transmitter to re-transmit the signal directed to communication hub at an increased transmission power based on the updated position.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to:
- receive a first indication of an elevation angle of a communication hub relative to an electronic device;
- receive a second indication to transmit a first signal directed to the communication hub based on the elevation angle;
- receive a second signal from the communication hub;
- cause the electronic device to transmit the first signal at a predetermined transmission power if a signal quality of the second signal is below a threshold value;
- and
- cause the electronic device to transmit the first signal at a transmission power based on the elevation angle if the signal quality exceeds the threshold value.
A method comprising:
- receiving, via processing circuitry of an electronic device, an indication of an elevation angle of a communication hub relative to the electronic device, and
- causing a transmitter of the electronic device to transmit a signal directed to the communication hub at a predetermined transmission power based on the elevation angle being below a threshold angle.
