POWER CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC H04W52/24 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for controlling power. The method includes steps of: determining whether received total wideband power (RTWP) of an air interface exceeds a set first congestion threshold value; when the RTWP of the air interface exceeds the set first congestion threshold value, sending a congestion indication to a radio network controller (RNC), where the congestion indication is used to indicate that the RNC is forbidden from up-regulating a target signal-to-interference ratio (SIR); receiving a target SIR sent by the RNC; down-regulating the target SIR sent by the RNC; and notifying, based on the down-regulated target SIR, the user equipment (UE) to reduce transmission power. The present invention mainly applies to the field of power control.

EFFECT: reducing power pressure of the air interface of a base station and ensuring a stable network environment.
