Abstract

Optimizations are provided for controlling an amount of radiated power (i.e. spectral flux density) that is being transmitted to a particular location. To that end, one or more antennas are used to transmit a power signal. Then, position information for each of those antennas is determined. Additionally, environmental information for the environment in which the antennas are operating is also determined. Also, an antenna radiation pattern for each of those antennas is also determined. Thereafter, how much power is radiated to a particular location is controlled so that the power never exceeds a certain threshold value. This control is achieved by dynamically adjusting the transmit power of the antennas based on the information obtained from the position information, the environmental information, and the antenna radiation pattern information.
