Abstract
A communication device (102), communication node (104), and method for transmitting a message are disclosed. The method includes calculating number of frames (402) in a message to be transmitted from the communication device. The method further includes determining transmission power (404) for the message based on the number of frames. The method further includes transmitting each frame of the message (406) using the determined transmission power.
Claims21
A method for transmitting a message by a communication entity, the method comprising:
- calculating by a processor a number of frames in the message to be transmitted, wherein the number of frames is calculated based in part on a length of the message;
- determining a transmission power for the message by a power controller based on the number of frames;
- and
- transmitting by a transmitter and amplifier each frame of the message using the transmission power.
1 more element
A communication entity comprising:
- a processor for calculating a number of frames in a message to be transmitted, wherein the number of frames is calculated based in part on a length of the message;
- a first power controller coupled to the processor, for determining a first transmission power to transmit the message based on the number of frames;
- an amplifier operatively coupled to the first power controller, for adjusting transmission power based on the first transmission power;
- and
- a transmitter operatively coupled to the first power controller, the transmitter for transmitting each frame of the message using the transmission power.
