Method and Apparatus for Controlling Radio Emissions of a Base Station

A method for computing a power reduction policy to control radio emissions of a base station over a time window subdivided into a plurality of time periods starting at a plurality of time steps, the method comprising, at least at a first time step in the time window:

• generating a prediction of averaged radio emissions over subsequent time periods in the time window, based on radio emissions historical data;
• and
• finding couples of values of a power reduction factor and an average of radio emissions that minimize a cost function for the at least first time step in the time window, based on the prediction of averaged radio emissions.
