Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for dynamically/during operation, adapting transmission power in a wireless communication device. The adapting of transmit power in a wireless communication device can be performed on a per-packet, as well as a per-link basis. Before determining to adapt transmit power, various conditions, configurations, and or operational information can be analyzed. That is, the quality of service associated with a link, the stability of the link, as well as, e.g., the stability of a current transmit rate being utilized can be considered, such that the user experience, e.g., throughput, need not be negatively affected in order to implement power savings by lowering transmit power.
