Abstract

Described are concepts, systems and techniques for scaling or configuring a cellular network or one or more components thereof to utilize signals having power levels corresponding to power levels which are substantially at or near a minimum amount of power needed at all times to maintain a desired bit rate within a link of a cell in the cellular network. In embodiments, a remote radio head (RRH) may be scaled (e.g. dynamically scaled) so as to provide radio frequency (RF) signals having power levels corresponding to power levels which are substantially at or near a minimum amount of power needed at all times to maintain a desired bit rate within a link of a cell in the cellular network.

Claims (5)

1 . A remote radio head (RRH) configured to communicate with a mobile unit over a wireless communication link, the RRH comprising:

at least one power amplifier (PA) configured to provide an amount of output power which is substantially at or near a minimum amount of output power required to maintain a selected bit rate between the RRH and the mobile unit via the wireless communication link, wherein the output power level of the PA is dynamically scaled to the determined amount of transmitted output power which is substantially at or near a minimum amount of transmit power needed at all times to maintain the selected bit rate.

2 . The RRH of claim 1 further comprising means for receiving one or more control signals to dynamically scale an output power of the PA such that the PA is operated to provide an amount of transmitted output power substantially corresponding to an amount of transmit power needed to maintain the selected bit rate.

3 . The RRH of claim 1 further comprising means for receiving one or more control signals to dynamically scale an output power of the PA such that the PA is operated to provide an amount of transmitted output power substantially corresponding to an amount of transmit power needed to maintain the selected bit rate at all times.

4 . The system of claim 3 wherein the selected bit rate corresponds to an achieved bit rate.
