Adaptive battery power distribution to remote radio heads in long term evolution (LTE) networks

摘要

A method and system are provided for adjusting power distribution to remote radio heads in a telecommunication network. Multiple buses are implemented in a configuration to individually distribute power to remote radio heads. Each bus is connected to a remote radio heads allowing the remote radio head to receive power on an individual basis and different from other remote radio heads. An eNodeB collects operational measurements from a cell site which are used to provide instructions to adjust the power to each bus and corresponding remote radio head.

1. A method for adjusting power distribution to remote radio heads in a telecommunication network, comprising:
connecting each unique power bus to each remote radio head, wherein each remote radio head transmits in a sector in a cell site and is a member of a group of remote radio heads assigned to the cell site, and wherein each unique power bus is a member of a group of power buses; connecting the group of power buses to a power distribution unit; receiving direct current (DC) power into the group of power buses; and changing the DC power to each unique power bus, where each unique power bus is respectively connected to each remote radio head, and wherein the DC power provided to a first remote radio head is different from the DC power provided to a second remote radio head.
