Dynamic adjustment of power supply using QCI

A method for dynamically allocating power in an antenna system, the method comprising:

• determining a maximum supply power available to the antenna system by a power supply component, wherein the antenna system comprises at least one antenna array comprising a first node and a second node, and wherein the first node and second node comprise a plurality of antenna elements;
• identifying a total load of the at least one antenna array of the antenna system;
• determining that the total load of the at least one antenna array is below a first predetermined threshold;
• upon determining that the total load of the at least one antenna array is below the first predetermined threshold, determining whether a load of a quality of service class identifier (QCI) value is below a second predetermined threshold;
• upon determining that the load of the QCI value is below the second predetermined threshold, determining that a power supply to the at least one antenna array should be modified;
• and
• dynamically modifying the power supply to the at least one antenna array when both the total load of the at least one antenna array is below the first predetermined threshold and the load of the QCI value is below the second predetermined threshold.

A method for dynamically allocating power in an antenna system, the method comprising:

• determining that a total load of at least one antenna array is below a first predetermined threshold;
• upon determining that the total load of the at least one antenna array is below the first predetermined threshold, determining that a load of a quality of service (QoS) class identifier (QCI) value for the at least one antenna array is below a second predetermined threshold;
• upon determining that the load of the QCI value is below the second predetermined threshold, determining that a power supply to the at least one antenna array should be modified;
• dynamically modifying the power supply to the at least one antenna array by a first predetermined level when both the total load of the at least one antenna array is below a first predetermined threshold and the load of the QCI value is below the second predetermined threshold, wherein the first predetermined level is less than a maximum power supply available to the antenna system;
• upon expiration of a predetermined time period, identifying an updated load of the QCI value;
• determining that the updated load of the QCI value is below the second predetermined threshold;
• and
• dynamically modifying the power supply to the at least one antenna array by a second predetermined level when both the total load of the at least one antenna array is below a first predetermined threshold and the updated load of the QCI value is below the second predetermined threshold, wherein the second predetermined level is less than the maximum power supply available to the antenna system.
