Abstract

This application discloses example power control methods and apparatuses. One example method includes receiving, by a first node, first information sent by a second node, where the first information is used to determine a first transmit power, where the first transmit power is a power used when the first node sends downlink information to the second node through a first link, where the first link is a link between the first node and the second node, and where the first node is an upper-level device of the second node. The first node can then determine the first transmit power based on the first information.
