Sony patents method to adjust radio power based on interference priority
Sony describes a system where a processor checks which of two radio devices has higher priority to avoid signal interference. It then calculates how much the lower-priority device needs to lower its transmission power to stay within safe limits. This ensures the higher-priority device can receive a clear signal without being blocked.
In the filing’s own words
A communication control apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a processor that acquires information indicating a priority relationship in interference protection between a first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus that each transmit radio waves, that determines an amount of a reduction in a transmission power of the first communication apparatus on the basis of the information indicating the priority relationship and an allowed interference power of the second communication apparatus, and that determines an allowed transmission power of the first communication apparatus on the basis of the reduction amount.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A communication control apparatus, comprising a processor that acquires information indicating a priority relationship in interference protection between a first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus that each transmit radio waves, that determines an amount of a reduction in a transmission power of the first communication apparatus on a basis of the information indicating the priority relationship and an allowed interference power of the second communication apparatus, and that determines an allowed transmission power of the first communication apparatus on a basis of the reduction amount.
