US 2015/0319706 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING POWER DISTRIBUTION

Abstract

A method, in accordance with particular embodiments, includes establishing a plurality of wireless connections with a plurality of endpoints. The connections are established via one or more of a plurality of remote transceivers. The method also includes determining a plurality of candidates for a positive power gain. The plurality of candidates includes a plurality of unique pairings, each pairing comprising a combination of one endpoint and one remote transceiver. The method additional includes identifying a subset of the plurality of candidates. The method further includes determining whether the identified subset results in an optimum power distribution. If the identified subset results in a less than optimum power distribution, the method includes identifying a different subset of candidates. If the identified subset results in an optimum power distribution, the method includes computing a non-uniform power distribution based on the identified subset.

A method for adjusting power distribution comprising:

establishing a connection between a base station and a plurality of remote transceivers;
establishing a plurality of wireless connections with a plurality of endpoints via one or more of the plurality of remote transceivers;
determining a signal quality associated with each endpoint as received at each remote transceiver;
heuristically repeating the following steps until a potential solution is determined in which any error determined based on the potential solution is less than a threshold value:
generating a power matrix based on the received signal quality associated with each endpoint at each remote transceiver, the generated power matrix differing each time it is generated;
determining the potential solution to a linear equation using the power matrix;
comparing the potential solution to the linear equation to a previous solution to the linear equation;
upon the potential solution being an improvement over the previous solution, determining at least one error value based on the potential solution;
and
upon the at least one error value being less than the threshold value, determining a power distribution for each endpoint at each remote transceiver based on the potential solution.
