Abstract: A method and apparatus for adjusting the transmission power of signals transferred by at least one home base station through a wireless interface to a mobile device, the at least one home base station being located in the cell of a base station. The transmission power is adjusted by first performing an inter cell interference coordination procedure including determining at least one high interference reference zone for the at least one home base station. Then the signal transmission power adjustment for the at least one home base station is determined to ensure a given outage probability that a given function g representing the mobile terminal performance degradation is lower than or equal to a threshold value in the high interference reference zone around the at least one home base station.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for adjusting the transmission power of the signals transferred by at least one home base station through a wireless interface, the at least one home base station being located in the cell of a base station. The method comprises the steps of: —determining at least one high interference reference zone for the at least one home base station, which is a zone in which signals transferred by the base station and the at least one home base station interfere and on which interferences are controlled, —determining the signal transmission power for the at least one home base station which is set in order to ensure a given outage probability that a given function representing the mobile terminal performance degradation is lower than or equal to a threshold in the high interference reference zone around the at least one home base station.
