Method and system for Bluetooth 802.11 alternate MAC/PHY (AMP) transmit power control (TPC)

A system for communicating data, the system comprising:

• one or more circuits, one or more processors, or any combination thereof that are operable to determine a maximum input level based at least in part on signals received via a Bluetooth basic rate connection, via a Bluetooth extended data rate connection, or via both said Bluetooth basic rate connection and said Bluetooth extended data rate connection;
• said one or more circuits, said one or more processors, or any combination thereof are operable to determine a transmitted signal power level based at least in part on said determined maximum input level;
• said one or more circuits, said one or more processors, or any combination thereof are operable to transmit subsequent signals via a distinct Bluetooth connection by way of an 802.11 transceiver based at least in part on said determined transmitted signal power level;
• and
• said one or more circuits, said one or more processors, or any combination thereof are operable to determine a path loss value for said subsequent signals transmitted via said distinct Bluetooth connection.
