  • Publication number: 20180176861
    Abstract: A method is provided. The method comprises receiving at least one parameter measured at a first end of a power cable proximate to a remote radio head coupled to the first end of the power cable; and using the at least one parameter, determining a voltage level of an output of a power supply system, coupled to the second end of the power cable, that maintains the voltage at a the first end at a constant level or within a range.
