Certain embodiments herein relate to dynamic allocation of power budgets for wireless modules that may be integrated onto a wireless combo module. An individual power budget for each wireless module may be modified based on the performance of the wireless module such that wireless modules that may benefit from additional power consumption may receive additional power budget from other wireless modules that may be consuming less power than currently allocated. In this way, power budgets may be cooperatively shared among wireless modules to facilitate optimized wireless communications. Various techniques may be used to configure a wireless module to operate within or at certain power values, including adjusting a transmission speed and/or a time interval for sending backoffs to attain a desired power consumption.
