ALLOCATING CELL SITE COMPONENT CAPACITY TO CONSERVE POWER

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18623876 titled 'ALLOCATING CELL SITE COMPONENT CAPACITY TO CONSERVE POWER



Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques for allocating cell site component capacity to conserve power are disclosed. Antenna ports of a radio unit are identified and a capacity for each antenna port is obtained. A throughput of a first antenna is obtained. A configuration for the first antenna is determined based on the throughput and the antenna port capacities. One or more antenna ports are selected, based on the capacities and the configuration for the first antenna, to allocate to the first antenna. The one or more antenna ports of the radio unit are then allocated to the first antenna. Antenna ports of the radio unit that are not allocated to the first antenna may be entered into a reduced-power state or allocated to a second antenna of the cell site.
