Abstract:
1. A method comprising: for each sub-area of a group of sub-areas of a wireless communication system, determining by a network element of the wireless communication system, reception quality values for transmissions between an access station serving said sub-area and mobile stations located at an edge of said sub-area, which reception quality values allow meeting system requirements; and converting said reception quality values for each of said sub-areas into transmission power values of a power sequence, a power sequence defining for one of said sub-areas transmission power values for transmissions using a respective one of a plurality of medium access units, wherein reception quality values for a particular medium access unit for all sub-areas of said group are determined under consideration of interference restrictions, and wherein said group of sub-areas comprises three sub-areas, and wherein said interference restrictions are given for each medium access unit by the equation: where a
