Onboard sensor assisted power allocation for radar and communication on mobile devices

A method for allocating power of an electronic device, the method comprising:

• generating a power budget indicating an amount of available power for signal transmission and reception;
• determining whether to prioritize communication signals or radar signals for allocating the available power of a battery;
• in response to a determination to prioritize the communication signals, allocating a first portion of the available power for the communication signals and a second portion of the of the available power for the radar signals;
• in response to a determination to prioritize the radar signals, allocating the first portion of the available power for the radar signals and the second portion of the of the available power for the communication signals;
• and
• transmitting the communication signals and the radar signals based on the allocation.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a computer program, the computer program comprising computer readable program code that, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, causes the processor to:

• generate a power budget indicating an amount of available power for signal transmission and reception;
• determine whether to prioritize communication signals or radar signals for allocating the available power of a battery;
• in response to a determination to prioritize the communication signals, allocate a first portion of the available power for the communication signals and a second portion of the of the available power for the radar signals;
• in response to a determination to prioritize the radar signals, allocate the first portion of the available power for the radar signals and the second portion of the of the available power for the communication signals;
• and
• transmit the communication signals and the radar signals based on the allocation.
