Abstract: A method for controlling an output of a small base station in a mobile communication system is provided. The method includes measuring Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) and receive sensitivity of at least one of a macro base station and a neighboring small base station, determining a service margin of the small base station, and determining transmission power based on the RSSI, the receive sensitivity and the service margin. The method may further include extracting the receive sensitivity of the neighboring small base station from the measured receive sensitivity, calculating the RSSI of the macro base station from total RSSIs based on a receive sensitivity ratio of the neighboring small base stations prior to determining the service margin.

Abstract: A method of operating a wireless device in an environment with ambient noise is disclosed. The wireless device includes a microphone and is configured to operate in both a voice mode and a non-voice mode such as text mode. In operation, the wireless device receives an indication of an attempted incoming call. Prior to causing the wireless device to generate a user-perceptible indication of the incoming call, the device determines whether an ambient noise parameter exceeds a predetermined threshold based on an ambient noise volume received by the microphone. When the ambient noise parameter exceeds the predetermined threshold, the wireless device switches to text mode and sends an indication that the wireless device is operating in text mode to the wireless service. The wireless device is operated in the voice mode when the ambient noise does not exceed the predetermined threshold.
