Abstract:
1. A method of communicating in a cell of a mobile telecommunication network, wherein a resource is divided into a plurality of resource blocks, each resource block being defined by a time period and a frequency interval, wherein the resource blocks are used for scheduling data transmissions in said telecommunication network, wherein the method comprises: measuring a traffic load in the cell; determining, if the traffic load is lower than a first traffic load threshold; decreasing a maximum used output load of an amplifier of the base station, if the traffic load is lower than the first traffic load threshold, wherein the amplifier amplifies signals being transmitted by the base station; adjusting an operation point of the amplifier, if the traffic load is lower than the first traffic load threshold; determining, if the traffic load is higher than a second traffic load threshold; increasing the maximum used output load of the amplifier of the base station, if the traffic load is higher than the second traffic load threshold; and adjusting the operation point of the amplifier, if the traffic load is higher than the second traffic load threshold; defining a time by a timer, wherein the timer is started directly after having decreased or increased the output load of the amplifier, and wherein a further increasing or decreasing of the output load is disabled during the time defined by the timer.
