Abstract
Method and arrangement in a first carrier controller, associated with a network node. The method aims at providing distributed power management of a plurality of power amplifiers within a sector. The first carrier controller, the network node and the power amplifiers are comprised within a communication system. Also, at least one further carrier controller is comprised within the communication system. The first carrier controller is arranged for scheduling power allocation at each power amplifier of the radio frequency power estimated to be used by at least one carrier controlled by the first carrier controller. The method comprises allocating the estimated power usage to be used by the at least one carrier controlled by the first carrier controller during a predetermined time frame on one or more power amplifiers within the same sector. The allocation is based on a priority value of each carrier, dedicated to that sector or to a power amplifier within that sector.
