Publication number: 20240364376Abstract: Techniques and devices for spatial averaging of transmission power to reduce power cutbacks are described. The techniques of spatial averaging may enable separate determinations of transmit power capacities for each antenna of a computing device if each antenna is spaced apart from a neighboring antenna by a minimum distance. The transmit power capacities may be based on transmit power limits and, in general, may be determined independently from, or with reduced dependence on, a transmit power of another antenna. These separate determinations may allow for spatial averaging of transmission power of a device to improve antenna-switching decisions and reduce a dependence upon power cutbacks. When power cutbacks are unavoidable, the separate determinations may additionally improve antenna-switching decisions at cutback powers to optimize the transmission power of the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2021Publication date: October 31, 2024Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Gregory Redmond Black, Robert S.
