Abstract
Transmit power management for small cells in a wireless communication environment may be achieved by receiving information generated by a plurality of access terminals associated with an access point, categorizing the access terminals based on the received information, and determining transmit power for the access point based on the categorization of the access terminals.
Claims72
An apparatus for communication, comprising:
- a communication device configured to receive information generated by a plurality of access terminals in communication with an access point;
- and
- a processing system configured to:
- categorize the access terminals based on the received information, the received information including measurement report messages sent by the access terminals, and
- determine transmit power for the access point based on the categorization of the access terminals,
- wherein the processing system is configured to categorize the access terminals based at least in part on how many measurement report messages are sent by each access terminal in an active call with the access point.
3 more elements
A method of determining transmit power, comprising:
- receiving information generated by a plurality of access terminals in communication with an access point;
- categorizing the access terminals based on the received information, the received information including measurement report messages sent by the access terminals;
- and
- determining transmit power for the access point based on the categorization of the access terminals,
- wherein the categorizing the access terminals comprises categorizing the access terminals based at least in part on how many measurement report messages are sent by each access terminal in an active call with the access point.
2 more elements
An apparatus for communication, comprising:
- means for receiving information generated by a plurality of access terminals in communication with an access point;
- means for categorizing the access terminals based on the received information, the received information including measurement report messages sent by the access terminals;
- and
- means for determining transmit power for the access point based on the categorization of the access terminals,
- wherein the means for categorizing the access terminals categorizes the access terminals based at least in part on how many measurement report messages are sent by each access terminal in an active call with the access point.
2 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code for causing a computer to:
- receive information generated by a plurality of access terminals in communication with an access point;
- categorize the access terminals based on the received information, the received information including measurement report messages sent by the access terminals;
- and
- determine transmit power for the access point based on the categorization of the access terminals,
- wherein the code to categorize the access terminals causes the computer to categorize the access terminals based at least in part on how many measurement report messages are sent by each access terminal in an active call with the access point.
