System and method for reporting measurements in a communication system

摘要

A system, method and control unit are described for controlling the periodic reporting of measurements in a communication system from an access point to a control unit over a control interface. The measurements are used by algorithms in the control unit for controlling resource allocation at the access point. The reporting of measurements is controlled by dynamically determining a frequency for periodic reporting of each periodic measurement report from the access point to the control unit based on information on a number of links currently handled by the access point and such that a total aggregate frequency of periodical reporting of the number of periodic measurement reports does not exceed the limited total capacity of the control interface.
