Determining a transmit power in a wireless system according to security requirements

摘要

Different target transmit powers are determined for different wireless transmissions from a wireless device, the different transmissions having different security requirements. In the absence of a response to a particular transmission from another device for which the particular transmission is intended, the wireless device increases the target transmit power of the particular transmission. The security requirements of a particular transmission may include a security ranking of a device to which one or more frames carried by the particular transmission are addressed. In another example, the security requirements of a particular transmission may include the confidentiality of data carried by the particular transmission.
