LOWERING TRANSMISSION POWER RESPONSIVE TO BROADCAST RADIO TRANSMISSIONS

摘要

Transmission power of a signal may be lowered in response to detecting a broadcast radio transmission. A communication device may communicate via a powerline communication (PLC) medium by transmitting, via the PLC medium, a signal having at least a first carrier frequency. The communication device may detect a broadcast radio transmission. The communication device may lower a transmission power setting associated with the first carrier frequency from a first power level to a second power level that is lower than the first power level in response to detecting the broadcast radio transmission. The communication device may transmit, via the PLC medium, the signal having at least the first carrier frequency at the second power level during a time period associated with the broadcast radio transmission.

1. A method for communicating via a powerline communication (PLC) medium, the method comprising:
transmitting, via the PLC medium, a signal having at least a first carrier frequency associated with a transmission power setting; detecting a broadcast radio transmission; lowering the transmission power setting associated with the first carrier frequency from a first power level to a second power level that is lower than the first power level, in response to detecting the broadcast radio transmission; and transmitting, via the PLC medium, the signal having at least the first carrier frequency at the second power level during a time period associated with the broadcast radio transmission.
