Abstract
A method and a device for controlling a method for controlling the power in an asymmetric soft handover condition in a communication network, including at least two cells each cell being served by a first type network device adapted to serve second type network devices in the respective cell. The method comprises: temporarily adjusting (step S3) a communication parameter of at least one second type network device to set up and/or maintain the communication of the second type network device with the first type network device of at least one of said cells.
Claims58
A method for controlling the power in an asymmetric soft handover condition,
- the method comprising:
- evaluating an asymmetry parameter in the cell area;
- temporarily adjusting a communication parameter of at least one second type network device on the basis of the asymmetry parameter to set up and/or maintain the communication of the second type network device with the first type network device of at least one of said cells;
- and
- controlling the power in an asymmetric soft handover condition in the communication network, wherein the communication network includes at least two cells, each cell being served by a first type network device configured to serve second type network devices in the respective cell.
Device for controlling the power in an asymmetric soft handover condition in a communication network, including at least two cells
- each cell being served by a first type network device (BS1, BS2) adapted to serve second type network devices (MS) in the respective cell, the device comprising:
- evaluation unit configured to evaluate an asymmetry parameter in the cell area
- additional control unit configured to temporarily adjust a communication parameter of at least one second type network device based on the asymmetry parameter to set up and/or maintain the communication of the second type network device with the first type network device of at least one of said cells,
- wherein power is controlled in a communication network, including at least two cells, each cell being served by a first type network device (BS1, BS2) adapted to serve second type network devices (MS) in the respective cell.
