Abstract
A method of adapting the output power of a radio transmitting entity within a cage having at least one aperture. The method includes the steps of providing at least one sensor operable to sense the condition of the at least one aperture and providing a controller to adjust the output power of the radio transmitting entity in accordance with the sensed condition of the at least one aperture.
Claims17
A method of controlling the output power of a radio transmitting entity of a mobile communication network within a cage having at least one aperture, wherein the radio transmitting entity comprises an antenna, a processor, and a memory, said method comprising:
- receiving, by the processor, information associated with a condition of the at least one aperture of the cage from a sensor wherein the information associated with the condition of the at least one aperture comprises information indicating a position of the at least one aperture, the position being in a range between a first location where the at least one aperture is at a fully opened opening of the at least one aperture and a second location where the at least one aperture is fully closed;
- and
- controlling, by the processor, an output power of a radio signal transmitted by the antenna of the radio transmitting entity responsive to the information associated with the condition of the at least one aperture of the cage,
- wherein the controlling the output power comprises adjusting the output power as a defined function of the position of the at least one aperture between the first location and the second location.
A radio transmitting entity of a mobile communication network, the radio transmitting entity comprising:
- an antenna, adapted to transmit a radio signal;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor and comprising computer readable program code that when executed by the processor causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving condition information of at least one aperture from at least one sensor, wherein the condition information associated with the condition of the at least one aperture comprises information indicating a position of the at least one aperture, the position being in a range between a first location where the at least one aperture is at a fully opened opening of the at least one aperture and a second location where the at least one aperture is fully closed;
- and
- controlling the output power of a radio signal transmitted by the antenna responsive to the condition information of the at least one aperture from the at least one sensor that is received, wherein controlling the output power comprises adjusting the output power as a defined function of the position of the at least one aperture between the first location and the second location.
A radio transmitting entity comprising an antenna, adapted to transmit a radio signal, a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor and comprising computer readable program code that when executed by the processor causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a position of a window and/or door of a vehicle from at least one sensor, the position of the window and/door of the vehicle being in a range between a first location where the window and/door of the vehicle is at a fully opened opening of the window and/or door and a second location where the window and/or door of the vehicle is fully closed;
- and
- controlling, responsive to the received position of the window and/or door of the vehicle, the output power of the radio signal transmitted by the antenna by adjusting the output power as a defined function of the position of the window and/or door of the vehicle between the first location and the second location.
