Control of transmitter configuration for base station

摘要

Adjusting transmitter configuration for a base station transmitter of a cell of a wireless network, involves receiving indications of received power measured at user equipments (UE) of customers over a first period of time of service operation of the cell, determining a generic change in the received power over a second period of time at chosen ones of the user equipments in an area, chosen to represent reference points within the area, and chosen based on variability in the received power. Then an adjustment is made to the transmitter configuration based on the determined generic change in the received power. Selecting which UEs to use can enable detection of finer gradations in the generic changes in the received power to be distinguished from the larger changes in individual indications of the received power. This can lead to better control of the transmitter configuration under changing conditions.

主权项

1. A method of adjusting a transmitter configuration of a base station transmitter of a cell of a wireless communications network, the method comprising:
receiving indications of received power of a wireless signal measured at user equipment over a first period of time; determining a generic change in the received power at the user equipment in an area of interest over a second period of time from the indications of received power at chosen ones of the user equipment in the area of interest, wherein the user equipment are chosen to represent reference points within the area of interest based on variability of the received power; and causing an adjustment to be made of the transmitter configuration based on the determined generic change in the received power.
