Sector power pooling

A multi-band transmitter comprising:

• a plurality of wideband signal sources each configured to provide a plurality of frequency bands;
• and
• routing circuitry configured to route each frequency band of the plurality of frequency bands associated with one of the plurality of wideband signal sources to a different wideband signal consumer, each of the different wideband signal consumers being associated with a different coverage area of the multi-band transmitter.

A method of operating a network node to pool power between a plurality of multi-band power amplifiers, the method further comprising:

• determining that a first sector of a coverage area of the network node has a greater load than a second sector of the coverage area of the network node;
• and
• adjusting an amount of power used by a multi-band power amplifier for a first frequency band relative to an amount of power used by the multi-band power amplifier for a second frequency band based on determining that the first sector has a greater load than the second sector.
