CONTROL OF SIGNAL TRANSMISSION POWER ADJUSTMENT REQUESTS

摘要

A method of controlling an electronic device ( 100 ) to request changes in the transmission power of a received signal received by the electronic device; the method comprising obtaining a received signal strength parameter value for the received signal ( 425 ); transmitting a request for an increase in transmission power ( 460 ) in response to the received signal strength parameter value being within a lower signal strength parameter value range ( 455 Y); transmitting a request for a decrease in transmission power ( 445 ) in response to the determined received signal strength parameter value being within an upper signal strength parameter value range ( 440 Y); determining an accumulated signal strength parameter value for the received signal over an accumulation period ( 405 ); and adjusting the lower signal strength parameter value range or the upper signal strength parameter value range dependent on the accumulated signal strength parameter value ( 410, 415 ).
