Methods and apparatus for joint power and resource management

A computer program product, comprising:

• a computer-readable medium, including:
• at least one instruction executable to cause a computer to adjust a transmission power value of one or both of a network entity and a proximate network entity from a first transmission power value to a second transmission power value based at least in part on one or both of a load level value of the network entity and a load level value of the proximate network entity to offload at least one user equipment (UE) to the proximate network entity, wherein the network entity serves the at least one UE;
• and
• at least one instruction executable to cause the computer to update a power/resource management policy at the network entity based on adjusting the transmission power value of one or both of the network entity and the proximate network entity.

An apparatus for communication, comprising:

• a memory storing executable instructions;
• and
• a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to:
• adjust a transmission power value of one or both of a network entity and a proximate network entity from a first transmission power value to a second transmission power value based at least in part on one or both of a load level value of the network entity and a load level value of the proximate network entity to offload at least one user equipment (UE) to the proximate network entity, wherein the network entity serves the at least one UE;
• and
• update a power/resource management policy at the network entity based on adjusting the transmission power value of one or both of the network entity and the proximate network entity.
