Summary:A first network node receives from user equipments (UEs) on a first component carrier (CC) measurement reports of downlink conditions on second and third CCs. Based on the received measurement reports, the first network node configures a second network access node to decrease its transmit power on the second CC and a third network access node to increase its transmit power on the third CC. In an example embodiment the first network access node sends to the UEs on the first CC indications of the transmit power decrease and increase on the respective second and third CCs, and at least one schedule for when the transmit power decrease and increase are to take effect. In an embodiment the first network node is a macro eNB and the second and third network nodes are low power nodes/ho tspots under control of the macro eNB.
