Uplink interference avoidance under closed loop power control conditions

A method, comprising:

• identifying, by network equipment comprising a processor, a packet flow in an uplink communication with a first communication device, wherein use of the packet flow results in generating of uplink interference from the first communication device;
• and
• in response to determining that an uplink power limit of the first communication device is able to be adjusted based on a quality of service class identifier value allocated to the packet flow, transmitting, by the system, a message to update the uplink power limit of the first communication device using a power adjustment value wherein the class identifier value is associated with a content type of the packet flow.

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

• identifying a packet flow in an uplink communication with a first user equipment, wherein use of the packet flow results in generating of uplink interference from the first user equipment above the threshold;
• and
• in response to determining that an uplink power limit of the first user equipment is adjustable based on a quality of service class identifier value allocated to the packet flow and associated with a content type of the packet flow, transmitting a message to update the uplink power limit of the first user equipment using a power adjustment value.
