Abstract: Transmit power for an access point is controlled based on measurement reports received by the access point from one or more access terminals that are not currently being served by the access point. In some aspects, transmit power is controlled based on the number of received messages that correspond to a particular event. In some aspects, transmit power is controlled based on the contents of the received messages. For example, the access point may use signal strength information included in the messages to determine a level of transmit power that mitigates interference at a defined subset of reporting access terminals.

Abstract: A relay node (800) reports its output power capability to a donor base station or other network node separately for the relay node's backhaul and access links, which may have different maximum output power. A corresponding network node (900), such as a donor base station, an Operations & Maintenance node, an Operational Support Systems node, a Self-Organizing Network node, is configured to request the relay node (800) to report its backhaul link and access link output power class capabilities or maximum output powers or rated output powers to the network node (900), and then to receive the reported capabilities in response. The report may specify a per-antenna transmit power capability; this may be specifically requested in some cases. The received relay node power-class capability information for the backhaul and access links is then used for one or several network management functions, such as radio resources management or network planning and dimensioning.
