Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes: sending, from a first wireless device to a second wireless device, a first request for a step size setting of a power control change to be performed by the second wireless device; receiving, from the second wireless device, a first response to the first request, the first response comprising the step size setting of the power control change; and storing the step size setting in a storage of the first wireless device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- sending, from a first wireless device to a second wireless device, a first request for a step size setting of a power control change to be performed by the second wireless device;
- receiving, from the second wireless device, a first response to the first request, the first response comprising the step size setting of the power control change;
- and
- storing the step size setting in a storage of the first wireless device.
An apparatus comprising:
- a wireless transceiver to transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) signals of at least a first wireless protocol;
- and
- a processor coupled to the wireless transceiver, the processor comprising a link manager to manage link communications between the apparatus and a second apparatus, the link manager comprising a power manager to receive from the second apparatus a first request for a step size setting regarding a size change to a transmit power level of the RF signals, and in response to the first request, send a first response comprising the step size setting.
A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by at least one processor of a wireless device cause the wireless device to perform a method comprising:
- sending, from the wireless device to a second wireless device, a first request for a step size setting of a power control change to be performed by the second wireless device;
- receiving, from the second wireless device, a first response to the first request, the first response comprising the step size setting of the power control change;
- and
- storing the step size setting in a storage of the wireless device.
