Abstract
A method for controlling a radio signal emitted by a device, so as to adapt the range thereof. The method includes: determining, by a controller, a level of radio signal emitted by the device on the edge of a deter mined zone; controlling, by the controller, an adaptation of the range of the radio signal emitted by the device according to the comparison of the signal level and a determined threshold.
Claims15
A method for controlling a radio signal emitted by a device to adapt a range of the radio signal, wherein the method comprises:
- determination, by a controller, of a level of radio signal emitted by the device at a limit of a determined zone, and
- commanding, by the controller, an adaptation of the range of the radio signal emitted by the device according to a comparison of the signal level and of a determined threshold.
A gateway connectable to a communication network, the gateway comprising:
- a processing unit;
- and
- at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processing unit configure the gateway to perform acts comprising:
- emitting and receiving a radio signal,
- memorizing data describing a residential environment of a user of the gateway defining a zone,
- determining a signal level at a limit of the zone and comparing this level to a threshold, and
- commanding adaptation of a range of the radio signal emitted by the gateway if the threshold is exceeded.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a processor of a controller, configure the controller to perform acts comprising:
- controlling a radio signal emitted by a device to adapt a range of the radio signal, wherein controlling comprises:
- determining a level of the radio signal emitted by the device at a limit of a determined zone, and
- commanding an adaptation of the range of the radio signal emitted by the device according to a comparison of the signal level and of a determined threshold.
