Abstract
A portable communication device is provided. The device comprises a first radio transceiver operable for wireless communication in an unlicensed radio spectrum band, a directional antenna coupled to the first radio transceiver, a processor, and an application. When executed by the processor, the application analyzes a power level of a signal received by the first radio transceiver and controls a transmission power level of the first radio transceiver based at least in part on the power level of the received signal.
