Systems and methods for determining a power option for an access node

摘要

Systems and methods are described for determining a power option for an access node. Application requirements for a first plurality of wireless devices in communication with a first access node may be identified for each wireless device. The number of wireless devices that comprise a met application requirement may then be determined. When that number meets a first criteria, a plurality of power options for transmitting a first signal may be determined. For each power option, a second number of the first plurality of wireless devices and a third number of wireless devices in communication with a second access node may be estimated. Based on the estimated numbers for the determined power options, a power option may be selected and the first access node may transmit the first signal according to the selected power option.

主权项

1. A method for determining a power option for an access node, comprising:
identifying an application requirement for each of a first plurality of wireless devices in communication with a first access node; determining, from among the first plurality of wireless devices, a first number of wireless devices comprising application requirements that are met; determining, when the first number of wireless devices meets a first criteria, a plurality of power options for transmitting a first signal from the first access node; estimating, for each power option based on transmission of the first signal according to each power option, a second number of wireless devices from among the first plurality of wireless devices comprising application requirements that are met by each power option; estimating, for each power option based on transmission of the first signal according to each power option, a third number of wireless devices in communication with a second access node, wherein the first signal transmitted according to each power option interferes with a communication between the third number of wireless devices and the second access node; and selecting one of the plurality of power options when the estimated second number of wireless devices meets a second criteria and the estimated third number of wireless devices meets a third criteria.
