Configuring Power Distribution Within Cooperation Areas of Cellular Communication Networks
First Claim
1. Method for configuring a power distribution within a cellular network system,the cellular network system comprising at least one cooperation area,wherein the at least one cooperation area is defined by at least two base stations, each comprising at least one antenna, wherein each base station has at least one beam,the method comprisingconfiguring the base stations to transmit at a first transmit power level for providing a first receiving power level for a user equipment at a center region of the cooperation area, andconfiguring the base stations to transmit at a second transmit power level for providing a second receiving power level at a border region of the cooperation area,wherein the second receiving power level is lower than the first receiving power level.

Abstract
There is provided a method for configuring a power distribution within a cellular network system. The cellular network system includes at least one cooperation area. The at least one cooperation area is defined by at least two base stations, each including at least one antenna, wherein each base station has at least one beam. The method includes configuring the base stations to transmit at a first transmit power level for providing a first receiving power level for a user equipment at a center region of the cooperation area, and configuring the base stations to transmit at a second transmit power level for providing a second receiving power level at a border region of the cooperation area, wherein the second receiving power level is lower than the first receiving power level.
