Abstract
A maximum transmission power level to be used by a radio telecommunications base station in communicating with a mobile user terminal is selected. The base station communicates with neighboring base stations to determine distances to the neighboring base stations, and sets the maximum transmission power level at a level such as to enable communications with mobile user terminals located at most a fraction of the distance from the base station towards the nearest neighboring base station.
Claims10
A method of selecting a maximum transmission power level to be used by a radio telecommunications base station in communicating with a mobile user terminal, the method comprising the base station communicating with neighboring base stations to determine distances to the neighboring base stations, and setting the maximum transmission power level at a level such as to enable communications with mobile user terminals located at most a fraction of the distance from the base station towards the nearest neighboring base station.
A radio telecommunications base station operative to select a maximum transmission power level to be used in communicating with a mobile user terminal, the base station being operative to communicate with neighboring base stations to determine distances to the neighboring base stations and to set the maximum transmission power level at a level such as to enable communications with mobile user terminals located at most a fraction of the distance from the base station towards the nearest neighboring base station.
A radio telecommunications network comprising base stations, each base station being operative to select a maximum transmission power level to be used in communicating with mobile user terminals, each base station communicating with neighboring base stations to determine distances to the neighboring base stations and setting its maximum transmission power level at a level such as to enable communications with mobile user terminals located at most a fraction of the distance towards its nearest neighboring base station.
