Method and system for dynamically controlling transmit power of a wireless transmitter

A system for dynamically controlling a transmit power of a wireless transmitter, the system comprising:

• a transmit power control device comprising at least one processor and a computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• determining a set of sensors based on a location of each of a plurality of sensors, a location of the wireless transmitter, and a maximum range of the wireless transmitter;
• determining a change in power level and a change in interference level at each of the set of sensors based on a plurality of power measurements and a plurality of interference measurements, within a predefined response time, for each of the set of sensors, wherein the determining the change in power level and the change in interference level at each of the set of sensors comprises:
• computing an average power measurement and an average interference measurement within the predefined response time;
• comparing the average power measurement with a set of power thresholds and the average interference measurement with a set of interference thresholds;
• and
• determining the change in power level and the change in interference level based on the comparison;
• determining a required change in a transmit power level of the wireless transmitter based on the change in power level and the change in interference level at each of the set of sensors;
• and
• dynamically effecting a change in the transmit power of the wireless transmitter based on the required change.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for:

• determining a set of sensors based on a location of each of a plurality of sensors, a location of the wireless transmitter, and a maximum range of the wireless transmitter;
• determining a change in power level and a change in interference level at each of the set of sensors based on a plurality of power measurements and a plurality of interference measurements, within a predefined response time, for each of the set of sensors, wherein the determining the change in power level and the change in interference level at each of the set of sensors comprises:
• computing an average power measurement and an average interference measurement within the predefined response time;
• comparing the average power measurement with a set of power thresholds and the average interference measurement with a set of interference thresholds;
• and
• determining the change in power level and the change in interference level based on the comparison;
• determining a required change in a transmit power level of the wireless transmitter based on the change in power level and the change in interference level at each of the set of sensors;
• and
• dynamically effecting a change in the transmit power of the wireless transmitter based on the required change.
