Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to power control optimization in a communication network aiming at increased flexibility for controlling the power consumption in a network node ( 10 ). The network node ( 10 ) forwards operational state information to a power control module ( 18 ). The power control module ( 18 ) generates a power control recommendation as a proposal for the power control configuration of the network node ( 10 ) to optimize power consumption thereof. The power control recommendation is then forwarded to the network node ( 10 ) for subsequent optimization of the controlling of power consumption in the network node ( 10 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of operating a power control module for optimizing power consumption of a network node operated in a communication system, the method comprising: receiving operational state information from the network node; generating a power control recommendation through evaluation of operational state information of the network node as a proposal for the power control configuration of the network node, to optimize power consumption thereof; and forwar…
