Device dynamic total RF power compensation

Abstract

A system and method may dynamically control the total RF power emissions of a mobile device. The method may include determining the local RF operating situation of the mobile device; setting a maximum power limit according to the local RF operating situation; and/or adjusting an active transmitted power of the mobile device within the maximum power limit. The local RF operating situation may be determined based upon (1) the measuring of a matching of the mobile device's radio antenna(s); (2) currently active application(s); (3) the number/type of active radios; (4) frequency or wavelength of transmissions; (5) network, relay, or node RF operating or exposure conditions; and/or (6) a power control process. The mobile device may be a hand-held device, HomeNodeB, or other device capable of RF communications. The local RF operation situation and/or available headroom may be communicated to a network base station or node to facilitate enhanced mobile device performance.
