OPTIMIZING RESOURCE USAGE BASED ON CHANNEL CONDITIONS AND POWER CONSUMPTION
First Claim
1. A method of wireless communication by a network entity, comprising:
- detecting a first channel condition for a first radio access technology (RAT) used by the network entity;
detecting a second channel condition for a second RAT used by the network entity;
determining whether the first channel condition comprises a higher interference level than the second channel condition;
determining power consumption constraints; and
reassigning at least one antenna from the first RAT to the second RAT based at least in part on the power consumption constraints, in response to determining that the first channel condition comprises a higher interference level than the second channel condition.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for optimizing resource usage by a network entity that detects a first channel condition for a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second channel condition for a second RAT. The network entity determines whether the first channel condition comprises a higher interference level than the second channel condition and also determines power consumption constraints. If the first channel condition comprises a higher interference level than the second channel condition, the network entity reassigns at least one antenna from the first RAT to the second RAT based at least in part on the power consumption constraints. In some embodiments, systems and methods are also provided for determining whether an access point serving an access terminal is a large cell base station or a small cell base station and determining a power management action for the access terminal.
