METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR POWER MANAGEMENT IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of communication, comprising:
- performing a power management procedure for configuring a subset of network entities to receive one or more downlink signal measurements, wherein performing the at least one power management procedure includes;
determining the subset of network entities from a set of network entities for transmitting at least one reference signal during an active session on a downlink communication channel, wherein the reference signal indicates a downlink power value of each respective network entity of the subset of network entities; and
receiving the one or more downlink signal measurements;
storing the one or more downlink signal measurements associated with the subset of network entities at a database for managing transmit power at the subset of network entities; and
adjusting a transmit power value of at least one of the subset of network entities from a first transmit power value to a second transmit power value based at least in part on the one or more downlink signal measurements.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for communication comprise aspects that include performing a power management procedure for configuring a subset of network entities to receive one or more of downlink signal measurements and/or one or more uplink signal measurements. The methods and apparatus further comprise aspects that include storing the one or more one or more of downlink signal measurements and/or one or more uplink signal measurements associated with the subset of network entities at a database for managing transmit power at the subset of network entities. Moreover, the methods and apparatus comprise aspects that include adjusting a transmit power value of at least one of the subset of network entities from a first transmit power value to a second transmit power value based at least in part on the one or more of downlink signal measurements and/or one or more uplink signal measurements.

13. A method of communication, comprising:
-
performing a power management procedure for configuring a subset of network entities to receive one or more uplink signal measurements, wherein performing the power management procedure includes; receiving a UE indication from a UE at the subset of network entities associated with the UE on an uplink communication channel; and determining the one or more uplink signal measurements based at least in part on correlating the UE indication with a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value; storing the one or more uplink signal measurements associated with the subset of network entities at a database for managing transmit power at the subset of network entities; and adjusting a transmit power value of at least one of the subset of network entities from a first transmit power value to a second transmit power value based at least in part on the one or more uplink signal measurements. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. An apparatus for communication, comprising:
-
a memory storing executable instructions; and a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to; perform a power management procedure for configuring a subset of network entities to receive one or more downlink signal measurements, wherein performing the at least one power management procedure includes; determine the subset of network entities from a set of network entities for transmitting at least one reference signal during an active session on a downlink communication channel, wherein the reference signal indicates a downlink power value of each respective network entity of the subset of network entities; and receive the one or more downlink signal measurements; store the one or more downlink signal measurements associated with the subset of network entities at a database for managing transmit power at the subset of network entities; and adjust a transmit power value of at least one of the subset of network entities from a first transmit power value to a second transmit power value based at least in part on the one or more downlink signal measurements. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
