Abstract:
1. A method in a network node for controlling a maximum output power of that network node, the network node located in a wireless communications network and comprising a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver for receiving GNSS signals transmitted from the GNSS, the method comprising: determining whether a GNSS signal transmitted from the GNSS is considered detectable; if the GNSS signal is considered detectable, determining whether the GNSS signal is received directly from the GNSS or via a GNSS repeater; and selecting a power control method for controlling the maximum output power of the network node, based on at least one of said determination of whether the GNSS signal is considered detectable, and said determination of whether the GNSS signal is received directly from the GNSS or via the GNSS repeater.
