Adaptive Transmission Power

Abstract

In a first embodiment, a multi-radio access technology (multi-RAT) or 5G-only or 4G-only remote radio head (RRH) is disclosed, wherein the RRH is equipped with functionality and capability enabling it to measure total power usage from the entire RRH, or according to various granularities. In a second embodiment, a network architecture for providing cluster-level optimization of power is disclosed. The network architecture may include a non-RT SMO that provides optimizations based on measurements from various cells, which may incorporate data about total power usage of each cell. In some embodiments a heatmap may be used. In a third embodiment, techniques for calibrating power amplifiers in radio heads are disclosed, including calibration to specific use cases, calibration based on power envelope tracking, and calibration to a fixed number of set points.
