Abstract: Optimizations are provided for controlling an amount of radiated power (i.e. spectral flux density) that is being transmitted to a particular location. To that end, one or more antennas are used to transmit a power signal. Then, position information for each of those antennas is determined. Additionally, environmental information for the environment in which the antennas are operating is also determined. Also, an antenna radiation pattern for each of those antennas is also determined. Thereafter, how much power is radiated to a particular location is controlled so that the power never exceeds a certain threshold value. This control is achieved by dynamically adjusting the transmit power of the antennas based on the information obtained from the position information, the environmental information, and the antenna radiation pattern information.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for selecting appropriate transmission configurations in a mobile ad hoc frequency division duplexing mesh network. In one scenario, a node receives transmission parameters from a neighboring node, where the transmission parameters include an indication of the node's current transmission configuration. The node receives network parameters from neighboring nodes, where the network parameters include connection information describing the node's current network connection to the neighboring nodes. Then, based on the received transmission parameters and the received network parameters, the node calculates a change factor which indicates the desirability of changing transmission configuration.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for communicating between nodes in a mobile ad hoc network. In one scenario, a node in a mobile ad hoc network communicates with another node in the network using both code division multiple access (CDMA) and frequency division duplexing. The communication is coded prior to transmission to the other node, and includes applying direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) modulation to a transmission signal at a specified bit rate over a specified spectrum. The DSSS coding is applied in accordance with a processing gain which spreads the spectrum relative to the bit rate of the transmission. The coded communication is then transmitted over a specified frequency band allocated to the node over which the node transmits data and over which the other node receives the data.
