Patent attributes
According to one configuration, a system includes a mobile communication device. The mobile communication device includes monitor hardware operative monitor for presence of a repetitive pattern present in received wireless communications present in a network environment. Depending on a magnitude of wireless energy of a portion of received wireless communications including the repetitive pattern, communication management hardware of the wireless station controls transmission of wireless communications from the wireless station. Thus, depending on a detected energy level of the monitored wireless signals having a particular signature (such as the repetitive pattern), the mobile communication device controls subsequent transmission of wireless communications from the mobile communication device in the network environment.
