Abstract
Embodiments herein include a method and a network node in a wireless communications network for controlling a maximum output power of the network node. The network node comprises a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver. The GNSS receiver receives signals from the GNSS. The method comprises determining whether a GNSS signal transmitted from the GNSS is considered detectable. If the GNSS signal is considered detectable, the method includes determining whether the GNSS signal is received directly from the GNSS or via a GNSS repeater. The method further includes selecting a power control method for controlling the maximum output power of the network node, based on at least one of the determination of whether the GNSS signal is considered detectable, and the determination of whether the GNSS signal is received directly from the GNSS or via the GNSS repeater.
