A communication device comprises one or more sensors configured to generate sensor data, a wireless interface, and a processor. The wireless interface is configured to establish a connection with a remote device according to a short-range wireless communication protocol and to transmit one or more signals to the remote device, the one or more signals representing information configured according to a media format. The processor is configured to determine at least one activity mode based on the sensor data from the one or more sensors on at least one of the communication device or the remote device, and during the transmission of the one or more signals, control the wireless interface to increase a transmit power level to a maximum transmit power level based on the determined activity mode.

Selective direct increase of transmit power level of a wireless communication device to a maximum power level based on detected activity mode or received signal quality

A method includes receiving at least a first node connection from a network external to the data processing hardware. The network includes a network of nodes each operative to transmit and/or receive directional beams containing packets of data. The method also includes identifying an open first communication link between a first node and a second node of the network and determining a first recommended set of beam vectors to constrain a first scanning range of the first node when initiating beam forming with the second node. The method also includes transmitting the first recommended set of beam vectors to the first node. The first recommended set of beam vectors cause the first node to execute beam forming training with the second node using the first recommended set of beam vectors to establish the first communication link with the second node.
