Abstract
There is provided a method, including detecting, by a network node of a first cell, whether or not there is any output power unused in a second cell during a predefined time period, wherein the un-used output power is originally reserved for a transmission on a specific channel in the second cell; upon detecting that there is at least some of the output power unused, determining the amount of the unused output power in the second cell; and applying at least part of the unused output power to boost a predetermined transmission in the first cell.
Claims22
A method, comprising:
- detecting, by a network node of a first cell, whether or not there is any output power unused in a second cell during a predefined time period,
- wherein the detecting is based on at least one of the following:
- the second cell being configured to use cross component carrier scheduling, and
- signaling from the second cell, and
- wherein the unused output power is originally reserved for a transmission on a specific channel in the second cell;
- upon detecting that there is at least some of the output power unused, determining the amount of the unused output power in the second cell;
- and
- applying at least part of the unused output power to boost the output power of downlink control information, DCI, as a predetermined transmission in the first cell.
5 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor and at least one memory including a computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to:
- detect whether or not there is any output power unused in a second cell during a predefined time period,
- wherein the detection is based on at least one of the following:
- the second cell being configured to use cross component carrier scheduling, and
- signaling from the second cell to the first cell, and
- wherein the unused output power is originally reserved tier a transmission on a specific channel in the second cell;
- upon detecting that there is at least some of the output power unused, determine the amount of the unused output power in the second cell;
- and
- apply at least part of the unused output power to boost the output power of downlink control information, DCI, as a predetermined transmission in a first cell.
