METHODS, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAMS FOR LIMITING MAXIMUM TRANSMIT POWER OF DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method for limiting the maximum transmit power of devices operating in a wireless network, each device supporting one of plural sets of transmit power reduction capabilities, the method comprising:
- transmitting a first message comprising a value of a first parameter associated with a first set of capabilities and a value of a second parameter associated with a second set of capabilities, wherein the second set comprises more capabilities than the first set;
receiving a signal associated with a device'"'"'s reception of the first message;
transmitting a capability enquiry to the device;
receiving capability information comprising an indication of whether the device supports the value of the second parameter; and
transmitting a second message comprising a value of the first parameter associated with the second set of capabilities upon receiving an indication that the device supports the value of the second parameter.

Abstract
In a method for limiting the maximum transmit power of devices operating in a wireless network, each device supporting one of plural sets of transmit power reduction capabilities, a first message comprising a value of a first parameter associated with a first set of capabilities and a value of a second parameter associated with a second set of capabilities, wherein the second set comprises more capabilities than the first set, is transmitted (400). A signal associated with a device'"'"'s reception of the first message is received Initiate non-access-related Initiate non-access-related (410). A capability enquiry is transmitted to the device (415). Capability information comprising an indication of whether the device supports the value of the second parameter is received (420). A second message comprising a value of the Transmit capability information Transmit capability information first parameter associated with the second set of capabilities is transmitted upon receiving an indication that the device supports the value of the second parameter (450).

9. A method for setting the maximum transmit power of a device operating in a wireless network, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first message comprising a value of a first parameter associated with a first set of capabilities and a value of a second parameter associated with a second set of capabilities, wherein the second set comprises more capabilities than the first set; determining whether the device supports the received value of the second parameter; determining whether the first message comprises a value of the first parameter associated with the second set of capabilities; and upon determining that the device supports the received value of the second parameter and the first message comprises a value of the first parameter associated with the second set, setting the maximum transmit power of the device based on the values of the first and second parameters associated with the second set. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
