Communications terminal with linear operating point determination

摘要

It is determined, e.g., in a communications terminal, that a test triggering event has occurred. A test is initiated based on the determination that the test triggering event has occurred. One or more transmissions are transmitted at one or more respective specified power levels. Measurement data is received from a remote measurement unit indicating respective received power levels of the one or more transmissions by the remote measurement unit. Based on the measurement data, a maximum transmit power level is determined.

主权项

1. A mobile terminal comprising a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions such that the processor is programmed to:
determine that a test triggering event has occurred, initiate a test based on the determination that the test triggering event has occurred; transmit, via a satellite, a first transmission at a first specified power level and one or more subsequent transmissions at one or more respective subsequent specified power levels, each of the subsequent specified power levels incrementally increased from a previous power level; receive measurement data from a remote measurement unit indicating a respective received power level of the first transmission and the one or more subsequent transmissions by the remote measurement unit until the measurement data is no longer within a predetermined range; and determine; based on the measurement data, a maximum transmit power level of the communications terminal based at least in part on the highest received power level within the predetermined range.
