DYNAMICALLY CONTROLLING A FEMTOCELL BASE STATION DOWNLINK RANGER FOR INTERFERENCE AVOIDANCE
摘要
A femtocell power control module is operative to: obtain at least one uplink communication characteristic associated with the uplink signals transmitted by the at least one cellular communication device and received by the femtocell base station; estimate, from the obtained uplink communication characteristic, the power level of the downlink signals transmitted by the femtocell base station, as received by the at least one cellular communication device; if the estimated power level of the downlink signals transmitted by the femtocell base station as received by the at least one cellular communication device exceeds a predefined threshold power level, reduce the power level of the downlink signals transmitted by the femtocell base station to a reduced power level.
