Abstract
An improved base station is provided for use in a wireless communication system, the wireless communication system including a control center supplying operating power to a plurality of base stations located at spaced distances therefrom, with each base station capable of transmitting signals on a select number of carriers at a select transmit power per carrier. The improved base station includes a controller automatically controlling the number of carriers utilized by the improved base station during transmission. Operating information associated with the improved base station is downloaded by the controller from the control center. The operating information includes a desired number of carriers to be utilized by the improved base station for transmission, a desired transmit power per carrier, and an actual spaced distance of the improved base station from the control center. The controller calculates an allowed spaced distance of the improved base station from the control center from the downloaded operating information. The calculated allowed spaced distance is defined as the distance where sufficient operating power reaches the improved base station to permit the improved base …
