Claim Text:
1. A method in a radio base station of a wireless communications system for controlling transmit power, wherein the radio base station has a maximum allowed average output power, the method comprising: determining a first transmit power of at least a first type of subframe which is higher than the maximum allowed average output power, and a second transmit power of at least a second type of subframe which is lower than the maximum allowed average output power, determining an average transmit power by which the radio base station transmitted an amount of subframes during a preceding time period, determining a maximum allowed power for a subsequent subframe based on the determined average transmit power and the maximum allowed average output power; and determining at least one type of subframe to be allowed for the subsequent subframe based on the determined maximum allowed power for the subsequent subframe and at least the first and second transmit power.
