Abstract: The technology described herein is directed towards runtime dynamic downlink power configuration between a distributed unit and radio unit. In one O-RAN-compliant implementation, control-plane messages are used to update the downlink power without any service interruption, based on initialization information provided by management-plane messages to the distributed unit, including a radio unit's indication of support for the power change and the time (gap) needed by the radio unit to implement a power change. Based on this data, the distributed unit and radio unit (which are synchronized) change the downlink power at the same specific time (same symbol) such that the power configuration can be done during runtime without any service interruption. This is advantageous with power changes needed for Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) systems and/or for energy saving purposes, for example.

Abstract: The technology described herein is directed towards determining (e.g., a base station's) radio downlink power output based on traffic load data and temperature data. The downlink power output can be a compensation value that modifies the radio's power output by adapting to dynamic traffic load and temperature changes. Using traffic load and temperature results in more accurate power compensation. In one implementation, the current (most-recent) traffic load data and temperature data are used to obtain bounding values from a table indexed by traffic load data intervals and temperature data intervals. The bounding values are interpolated to find a power compensation value. By considering the downlink traffic, good correlation is maintained between the radio internal temperature reading and the actual radio ambient temperature, resulting in a more accurate power compensation value for any combination of downlink traffic load and internal temperature reading. This results in improved serving cell coverage.
