Methods and devices for narrowband communications

Abstract:

A communication device includes a measurement engine configured to perform a radio measurement to obtain a reception metric, a power reduction database configured to identify a potential power reduction from a plurality of power reductions, a metric scaler configured to scale the reception metric to compensate for the potential power reduction to obtain a reduced reception metric, and a transmit controller configured to select a transmit power or a transmit repetition count for a radio frequency transceiver based on the reduced reception metric.
