Abstract
Methods and systems for improving the power efficiency of base stations are provided herein. One or more entities of a telecommunication network utilize device location and device capability information relating to a device's ability to receive and process downlink signals as a basis for making transmission power decisions. Excess transmission power used to communicate downlink signals beyond the range of devices in a coverage area can be eliminated. In some cases, distant devices may be handed over to neighboring base stations with or without power modification to the neighboring base station.
