Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for controlling a maximum transmit power of a high power user equipment (HPUE) using dedicated signaling. The methods and systems receive signal data corresponding to signals from a carrier cell. Based on the signal data, the methods and systems determine whether an interference level of the carrier cell is above a threshold value. Upon determining that the interference level of the carrier cell is above the threshold value, the methods and systems communicate an indication to the HPUE to transmit at a first power level. Upon determining that the interference level of the carrier cell is below the threshold value, the methods and systems communicate an indication to the HPUE to transmit at a second power level. The first power level is lower than the second power level.
Claims20
A method for controlling a maximum transmit power of a high power user equipment (HPUE) using dedicated signaling, the method comprising:
- receiving signal data corresponding to signals from a carrier cell;
- receiving additional signal data after a predetermined period of time;
- based on the signal data and the additional signal data, determining whether an interference level of the carrier cell is above a threshold value;
- upon determining that the interference level of the carrier cell is above the threshold value, communicating an indication to the HPUE to transmit at a first power level;
- and
- upon determining that the interference level of the carrier cell is below the threshold value, communicating an indication to the HPUE to transmit at a second power level, wherein the first power level is lower than the second power level.
A system for controlling a maximum transmit power of a high power user equipment (HPUE) using dedicated signaling, the system comprising:
- a base station having one or more nodes, each of the one or more nodes configured to wirelessly communicate with the HPUE in a serviceable area;
- and
- one or more processors in communication with the base station and configured to perform operations comprising:
- receive signal data from the HPUE, the signal data corresponding to signals from a carrier cell;
- based on the signal data, determine that an interference level of the carrier cell is above a threshold value, wherein a nearby base station caused the interference level to be above the threshold value;
- and
- upon determining that the interference level of the carrier cell is above the threshold value, instruct the HPUE to reduce a transmitting power level.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method for controlling a maximum transmit power of a high power user equipment (HPUE) using dedicated signaling, the method comprising:
- receiving signal data corresponding to signals from a carrier cell;
- based on the signal data, determining whether an interference level of the carrier cell is below a threshold value;
- and
- upon determining that the interference level of the carrier cell is below the threshold value, instructing the HPUE to increase or maintain a transmitting power level, wherein the transmitting power level is based on a maximum allowable path loss of the carrier cell and a power limitation of the HPUE.
