Abstract: A method of optimizing the wireless power and signal integrity between an access point and multiple wireless clients includes an algorithm running in the access point that detects the downlink bandwidth and signal strength to a client device. Using this information, the wireless parameters of the access point can be adjusted to reach an optimal downlink power and signal condition. Uplink bandwidth and signal strength control to the access point is performed at each of the client devices using signal strength information provided by the access point. This achieves a dynamic balance with the adjustment of both the access point and the individual wireless client devices for transmit power control and signal integrity in a closed loop manner. The access point can perform the same dynamic balance while supporting multiple client devices operating in multiple frequency bands.
