Disclosed are methods and systems for tailoring the transmit power of a wireless device to the parameters of the device such as the process split, voltage, and temperature. The device may identify one or more parameters of the device such as identifying the process split, or sensing the operating voltage or temperature. The device may determine an updated transmit power based on the known parameter values identified and any unknown parameter values. The updated transmit power is determined to be a maximum transmit power that meets one or more target transmit metrics, such as EVM and spectral mask, when the device transmits based on the known parameter values and across a range of variations of the unknown parameter values. The device may adjust its transmit power based on the updated transmit power periodically.

Methods for setting transmit power in wireless devices

Determining a mobile device's location, includes receiving, by the mobile device, a first packet from a first access point and generating a first time-stamp representing the first packet's arrival time; receiving, by the mobile device, a second packet from a second access point and generating a second time-stamp representing the second packet's arrival time; using these to determine the difference between the arrival times of the first and second packet at the mobile device; receiving, by the mobile device, first information representative of the first packet transmission time and second information representative of the second packet transmission time, the first and second information used to find the interval between the transmission of the first and second packets from the first and second access points respectively; determining, by the mobile device, the difference between the flight-times of the first and second packets to the mobile device; and determining, by the mobile device, the difference between the distance from itself to the first access point, and the distance from itself to the second access point and doing this over sufficient pairs of access points to find its location.

Embodiments provide an indoor position system that can be used by an mobile device (legacy or non-legacy) without changes at the mobile device. In an embodiment, to use the indoor position system, a user of the mobile device downloads an application to the mobile device, which interfaces with the mobile device's existing wireless radio technology circuitry or module (e.g., WLAN chip) to obtain the position of the mobile device. In one embodiment, the indoor position system includes a plurality of wireless anchors with known positions that are each configured to receive a packet transmitted by the mobile device, time-stamp the packet per the arrival time of the packet, and forward the time-stamped packet to a pre-defined site. At the pre-defined site, the position of the mobile device is computed and sent to the application running on the mobile device.

Arrival-delta position determination

A method for collision avoidance in multiple protocol networks using a shared communication medium begins by determining a first protocol probable active time period. The method continues by determining a first protocol probable inactive time period. The method continues by generating a transmit blocking indication based on the first protocol probable active time period and the first protocol probable inactive time period.
