Abstract
The invention relates to determining a transmit power in a cellular communication system comprising a cell including an inner zone served by a first carrier and an outer zone. A base station () comprises a receiver () for receiving measurement reports from communication units (). The measurement reports comprise receive characteristics such as receive signal levels. A distribution processor () generates a distribution of the receive characteristics, and a modified transmit power processor () determines a modified transmit power level in response to the distribution. Specifically, a modified transmit power level is determined as the power reduction of a transmit power that will result in a given traffic distribution between the inner zone and the outer zone. the modified transmit power processor () is coupled to a cell transmit power processor () which determines a cell transmit power associated with the first carrier in response to the modified transmit power level. Specifically a maximum transmit power of the first carrier is set to the cell transmit power level.
