Abstract

The invention relates to a method comprising the following steps:—measuring (S1) a traffic load;—determining (S2), if the traffic load is lower than a first threshold;—decreasing (S3) a maximum used output load of an amplifier of the base station, if the traffic load is lower than the first;—adjusting (S4) an operation point (102; 104; 106; 108; 112; 114; 116; 118; 124) of the amplifier, if the traffic load is lower than the first threshold;—determining (S2), if the traffic load is higher than a second threshold;—increasing (S5) the maximum used output load of the amplifier, if the traffic load is higher than the second threshold; and—adjusting (S4) the operation point of the amplifier, if the traffic load is higher than the second threshold.
