Abstract

An embodiment of a semiconductor package apparatus may include technology to determine declared antenna gain-related information that corresponds to an estimated actual antenna gain for an antenna, and adjust a parameter of a wireless subsystem based on the declared antenna gain-related information. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Claims (87)

determine declared antenna gain-related information that corresponds to an estimated actual antenna gain for the antenna,

adjust a parameter of the wireless subsystem based on the declared antenna gain-related information,

select a profile based on a region indicator, wherein the profile is based on an assumed antenna gain,

identify a difference in antenna gain between the estimated actual antenna gain and the assumed antenna gain,

determine whether the difference in antenna gain is greater than a predetermined amount,

in response to the difference being determined to be greater than the predetermined amount, set a delta gain to the difference,

modify the profile based on the delta gain, and

apply the modified profile to the wireless subsystem.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the logic is further to:

determine if the declared antenna gain-related information is valid based on one or more of a validity indicator, the region indicator, a vendor indicator, and authentication information.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the logic is further to:

determine a maximum permitted transmission power; and

adjust a transmission power for the wireless subsystem based on the maximum permitted transmission power and the declared antenna gain-related information.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined amount is zero, and the logic is further to:

in response to the difference being determined to be less than zero, set the delta gain to a value of zero.

7. A semiconductor package apparatus, comprising:

one or more substrates; and

logic coupled to the one or more substrates, wherein the logic is at least partly implemented in one or more of configurable logic or fixed-functionality logic hardware, the logic coupled to the one or more substrates to:

determine declared antenna gain-related information that corresponds to an estimated actual antenna gain for an antenna,

adjust a parameter of a wireless subsystem based on the declared antenna gain-related information,

select a profile based on a region indicator, wherein the profile is based on an assumed antenna gain,

identify a difference in antenna gain between the estimated actual antenna gain and the assumed antenna gain,

determine whether the difference in antenna gain is greater than a predetermined amount,

in response to the difference being determined to be greater than the predetermined amount, set a delta gain to the difference,

modify the profile based on the delta gain, and

apply the modified profile to the wireless subsystem.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the logic is further to:

retrieve the declared antenna gain-related information from a basic input/output system.

9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the logic is further to:

adjust a transmission power of the wireless subsystem based on the declared antenna gain-related information.

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the logic is further to:

determine if the declared antenna gain-related information is valid based on one or more of a validity indicator, the region indicator, a vendor indicator, and authentication information.

11. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the logic is further to:

determine a maximum permitted transmission power; and

adjust a transmission power for the wireless subsystem based on the maximum permitted transmission power and the declared antenna gain-related information.
