Dynamic Power Assignment Based on Link Qualities and Total Integrated Transmission Power

Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems of dynamic power assignment based on link qualities and total integrated transmission power are disclosed. One method includes determining the total integrated transmission power of a base station, wherein the total integrated transmission power is integrated over time and frequency, and wherein the total integrated transmission power is dependent on an available amount of power of a satellite linked to the base station, transmitting reference signals, wherein the reference signals are transmitted at a higher power level than data signals, receiving link quality characterization information from a plurality of wireless devices based on reception of the reference signals by the plurality of wireless devices through the satellite, and assigning a transmission power associated with each of the plurality of wireless devices based upon the received link quality characterization information and the total integrated transmission power over the threshold period of time.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
