BASE STATION AND METHOD FOR SCHEDULER CONTROLLED SETTING OF THE OUTPUT POWER OF A BASE STATION POWER AMPLIFIER

摘要

The invention discloses a base station (110, 300) for a cell (105) in a cellular communications system (100). The base station comprises a scheduler (310) for scheduling transmissions to users (115, 120) in the cell (105) and a transmitter with a power amplifier (325). The scheduler (310) is also arranged to set the output power level of the power amplifier (325) for an upcoming transmission period.
