Systems and methods of controlling a component of a network node in a communication system

A network node in a communications system, the network node comprising a processing circuitry and a memory storing program code that, when executed by the processing circuitry, causes the network node to:

• obtain a current location of one or more wireless devices that is determined from measurements reported by each wireless device of at least one of a set of beam reference signals transmitted by the network node or measurements performed by the network node of a signal transmitted by the one or more wireless devices on a beam that is spatially related to a beam associated with the corresponding beam reference signal received by that wireless device, with each beam reference signal being transmitted on a different beam and in a different beam direction by the network node;
• and
• control one or more components of the network node that enables or disables a transmission on one or more beams of at least one beam reference signal or adjusts a transmission power of a transmission on the one or more beams of at least one beam reference signal or wireless device-specific data signal, based on a set of power trace trajectories of each wireless device, with each power trace trajectory representing an estimated power required by the network node for transmissions on a beam of a beam reference signal or a wireless device-specific data signal to a wireless device at a certain time along predicted routes of that wireless device starting from the current location of that wireless device.
