Abstract
This patent document describes techniques are related to an apparatus for controlling wireless transmissions on a commercial passenger vehicle. The apparatus comprises a processor communicatively coupled to multiple wireless transceivers disposed on multiple seats in the commercial passenger vehicles. The processor is configured to: control a wireless transmission power of a first wireless transceiver at an initial time based on a pre-determined power level that is computed using a first feedback from a first set of the multiple wireless transceivers; and perform an ongoing control of the wireless transmission power of the first wireless transceiver based on a second feedback received from a second set of the multiple wireless transceivers.

An apparatus for controlling wireless transmissions on a commercial passenger vehicle, comprising:
- a processor communicatively coupled to multiple wireless transceivers disposed on multiple seats in the commercial passenger vehicles,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- control a wireless transmission power of a first wireless transceiver at an initial time based on a pre-determined power level that is computed using a first feedback from a first set of the multiple wireless transceivers;
- and
- perform an ongoing control of the wireless transmission power of the first wireless transceiver based on a second feedback received from a second set of the multiple wireless transceivers.
An in-vehicle communication system for controlling wireless transmissions on a commercial passenger vehicle, the system comprising:
- a first electronic device disposed on a first passenger seat in the commercial passenger vehicle and configured to transmit a pairing request at an initial power level to establish a connection with another device in the commercial passenger vehicle;
- a set of second electronic devices disposed on different passenger seats from the first passenger seat in the commercial passenger vehicle, each second electronic device configured to provide feedback data that includes a reception signal strength corresponding to the pairing request from the first electronic device, and
- wherein first electronic device is further configured to perform a transmission at an adjusted power level based on the feedback data.
A method of controlling wireless transmissions on a commercial passenger vehicle, the method comprising:
- sending, by a first electronic device disposed on a first passenger seat in the commercial passenger vehicle, a pairing request having a first power level to establish a wireless connection with another device located in the commercial passenger vehicle;
- receiving a set of feedback data from a set of second electronic devices disposed on different passenger seats from the first passenger seat in the commercial passenger vehicle, each second electronic device configured to provide the feedback data including a reception signal strength corresponding to the pairing request from the first electronic device;
- determining, by the first electronic device, a second power level based on the feedback data;
- and
- performing a transmission to the another device at the second power level.
