SMALL CELL RESOURCE ALLOCATION

摘要

This invention provides a method of allocating a resource in a network of small cells, and a device for implementing said method, the method comprising the steps of: a first small cell detecting that its resource demand exceeds its resource allocation; the first small cell selecting a new resource that is being used by a second small cell; and the first small cell allocating the new resource to either the first or second small cell, wherein the probability the new resource is allocated to the first small cell is based on the first small cell's resource demand.
