  • Patent number: 11974236
    Abstract: There is provided mechanisms for controlling total average transmission power of a radio base station. A method is performed by a control device. The method comprises performing, for a current discrete time value t, control of total average transmission power {Ptot}(t) of the radio base station according to a back-off power control loop. The total average transmission power {Ptot}(t) is computed over an averaging time window T of the present value of momentary transmission power and the N?1 values of momentary transmission power preceding the present value of momentary transmission power. The method comprises evaluating, for a future discrete time value less than, or equal to, t+T, the total average transmission power, assuming that values of momentary transmission power for all discrete time values from t up to t+T, starting at the next discrete time value t+1, is limited to a minimum value of said momentary transmission power.
