<p>A method of controlling the downlink power of a basestation in a cellular communications network is provided. The method is especially relevant to small cells, such as Access Point and Femtocells. The downlink power is controlled based on a measure of the pathloss between the basestation and at least one user equipment device in a coverage area of the basestation. A plurality of pathloss measurements are made, and, for each pathloss measurement, it is determined whether the user equipment is moving or stationery at the time that the pathloss measurement is made. Only the pathloss measurements made when the user equipment is moving are used when forming the measure of the pathloss.This enables femtocell deployment in straddled carrier or co-channel carrier configurations.</p> |
