Abstract
A method for dynamically adapting the maximum output power of a femto base station is provided. The method is based on determining the number of satellites currently detected and/or the reception quality of the satellite(s), and dynamically adapting the maximum output power from the femto base station in response to the determined number of satellites and/or the reception quality of the satellite(s). Hereby, an accurate position of the femto base station can be obtained for providing input used for determining the maximum output.
Claims22
A method of dynamically adapting a maximum output power of a femto base station, comprising:
- determining a satellite detection performance measure, wherein the satellite detection performance measure is a measure of the performance with which the femto base station detects satellites and comprises a number of satellites currently detected by the femto base station, a reception quality of one or more satellite signals associated with those satellites, or a weighted combination thereof;
- and
- dynamically adapting the maximum output power of the femto base station in response to and in direct dependence on the satellite detection performance measure.
A femto base station configured to dynamically adapt the maximum output power thereof, comprising:
- a measurement circuit configured to determine a satellite detection performance measure, wherein the satellite detection performance measure is a measure of the performance with which the femto base station detects satellites and comprises a number of satellites currently detected by the femto base station, a reception quality of one or more satellite signals associated with those satellites, or a weighted combination thereof;
- and
- a power controller circuit configured to dynamically adapt the maximum output power of the femto base station in response to and in direct dependence on the satellite detection performance measure.
A method of dynamically adapting a maximum output power of a femto base station, comprising:
- determining a satellite detection performance measure, wherein the satellite detection performance measure is a measure of the performance with which the femto base station detects satellites and comprises a number of satellites currently detected by the femto base station, a reception quality of one or more satellite signals associated with those satellites, or a weighted combination thereof;
- and
- dynamically adapting the maximum output power of the femto base station in direct dependence on the satellite detection performance measure, wherein said adapting comprises setting the maximum output power to a relatively lower power directly responsive to determining that said measure exceeds a threshold defining said performance as relatively good and setting the maximum output power to a relatively higher power directly responsive to determining that said measure is below a threshold defining said performance as relatively poor.
