Network operator controlled power update for physical resource blocks

Abstract

Methods and systems for network operator controlled power update per PRB for new radio (NR) are provided. A method begins with determining that at least one frequency block controlled by a first network operator is adjacent or co-channel with at least one frequency block controlled by a second network operator. Next, it is determined that a second frequency block controlled by the first network operator is adjacent or co-channel with the at least one frequency block controlled by the first network operator. The power level assigned to the first network operator's frequency block is updated to reduce interference. To prevent interference, the power level of the second frequency block controlled by the first network operator uses a lower power level. This lower power level may be assigned on a resource block basis, such as PRBs and RBGs.
