Coordinated control of average eirp

A coordinating controller for average Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) control of at least two radio signal paths of a site, the coordinating controller comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• and
• a storage medium containing instructions which, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the coordinating controller to:
• obtain, from inner controllers of the radio signal paths, information of long-term time averaged incoming and outgoing traffic per radio signal path;
• determine a time varying reference value of average transmission power per radio signal path based on equalizing terms determined from the information of long-term time averaged incoming and outgoing traffic, antenna gain information per radio signal path, and a condition on total average EIRP for the site;
• and
• perform individual average EIRP control per radio signal path by providing to each respective inner controller, the time varying reference value determined for the radio signal path controlled by that inner controller.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a program comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor of a coordinating controller of a site, cause the coordinating controller to control average Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) of at least two radio signal paths by performing operations comprising:

• obtaining, from inner controllers of the radio signal paths, information of long-term time averaged incoming and outgoing traffic per radio signal path;
• determining a time varying reference value of average transmission power per radio signal path based on equalizing terms determined from the information of long-term time averaged incoming and outgoing traffic, antenna gain information per radio signal path, and a condition on total average EIRP for the site;
• and
• performing individual average EIRP control per radio signal path by providing to each respective inner controller, the time varying reference value determined for the radio signal path controlled by that inner controller.
