INTERFERENCE MANAGEMENT FOR STRADDLED CARRIER DEPLOYMENTS

摘要

A method of controlling the downlink power of a basestation in a cellular communications network is provided. 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. The measure of the pathloss is formed based on a plurality of pathloss measurements. 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.
