Uplink interference avoidance under closed loop power control conditions

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a system comprising a processor, a request to adjust an uplink power parameter of a first communication device that is generating an interference into an external system and a power adjustment value employed to adjust the uplink power parameter of the first communication device;
• identifying, by the system, a packet flow in an uplink communication on the first communication device, wherein use of the packet flow is causing the generating of the interference above a threshold;
• determining, by the system, whether the uplink power parameter of the first communication device is capable of adjustment based on a quality of service class identifier value associated with the packet flow, wherein the class identifier value is associated with a content type of the packet flow;
• and
• in response to the determining that the uplink power parameter of the first communication device is capable of the adjustment, transmitting, by the system, a message to update the uplink power parameter of the first communication device using the power adjustment value.

A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• receiving a request to reduce an uplink power limit of a first communication device that is generating an interference into an external system and a power adjustment value to employ to reduce the uplink power limit of the first communication device to facilitate reduction in the interference into the external system;
• identifying a packet flow that is associated with an uplink communication on the first communication device, wherein use of the packet flow is associated with generating the interference above a threshold;
• determining whether the uplink power limit of the first communication device can be reduced based on a quality of service class identifier value allocated to the packet flow, wherein the class identifier value is associated with a content type of the packet flow;
• and
• in response to the uplink power limit of the first communication device being able to be adjusted, transmitting a message to reduce the uplink power limit of the first communication device using the power adjustment value.
