Radio Unit and a Method Therein for Controlling Power Levels of Spatially Separated Transceivers in a Wireless Communications Network - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18244756 titled 'Radio Unit and a Method Therein for Controlling Power Levels of Spatially Separated Transceivers in a Wireless Communications Network
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for controlling power levels of transceivers in a wireless communication network. The method involves receiving measurements on uplink transmissions from wireless devices and determining the load on each transceiver based on the relevance of its measurements. The power level of at least one transceiver is then controlled based on the determined loads.
- The method is performed by a radio unit in a wireless communication network.
- Each transceiver is connected to the radio unit via corresponding antenna ports.
- The transceivers are capable of performing measurements on uplink transmissions from wireless devices.
- The radio unit receives measurements on uplink transmissions from each transceiver.
- The radio unit determines the load on each transceiver based on the number of wireless devices that have the transceiver as the most relevant measurement for their uplink transmissions.
- The power level of at least one transceiver is controlled based on the determined loads.
Potential Applications
- Wireless communication networks
- Cellular networks
- Internet of Things (IoT) networks
Problems Solved
- Efficient power control in wireless communication networks
- Optimizing the performance of transceivers based on load
Benefits
- Improved network performance
- Reduced power consumption
- Enhanced reliability and coverage of wireless communication networks
Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a radio unit () for controlling power levels of spatially separated transceivers (-) connected to the radio unit () via corresponding antenna ports (a-j). Each transceiver (-) is capable of performing measurements on uplink transmissions from wireless devices in a wireless communication network (). The radio unit () receives, from each transceiver (-), measurements on uplink transmissions from wireless devices. Then, the radio unit () determines, for each transceiver (-), a load based on how many wireless devices that have the transceiver as the transceiver with the most relevant measurement for its uplink transmissions. The radio unit () also controls a power level of at least one first transceiver () based on at least one of the determined loads for the transceivers (-). Embodiments of the radio unit () are also described.
