Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods are described for determining a power option for an access node. Application requirements for a first plurality of wireless devices in communication with a first access node may be identified for each wireless device. The number of wireless devices that comprise a met application requirement may then be determined. When that number meets a first criteria, a plurality of power options for transmitting a first signal may be determined. For each power option, a second number of the first plurality of wireless devices and a third number of wireless devices in communication with a second access node may be estimated. Based on the estimated numbers for the determined power options, a power option may be selected and the first access node may transmit the first signal according to the selected power option.
