Abstract

There is provided mechanisms for determining average total transmission power for an antenna array configured for beamformed transmission within an angular coverage region. A method is performed by a control device. The method comprises determining bin-wise values of beamforming gain for a set of non-overlapping bins collectively covering the angular coverage region of the antenna array. The method comprises obtaining values of total transmission power of the beamformed transmission. The method comprises determining bin-wise values of average transmission power from the bin-wise values of beamforming gain and the values of total transmission power. The method comprises combining the bin-wise values of average transmission power into one value of average total transmission power for the antenna array.
