ALLOCATION OF BASEBAND RESOURCES TO A RADIO UNIT OF A SERVING CELL

摘要

Communication system (100) and a method in a communication system for allocating an amount of baseband resource in one of a plurality of digital units (150 151 152 153 154 55) to a radio unit (112)serving a cell (122). The method comprises estimating (301) the 5 amount of the baseband resource to be allocated to the radio unit (112) identifying (302) a digital unit (150 151 152 153 154 155) of the plurality of digital units on which a neighbour radio unit (110 114) serving a neighbour cell (120 124) situated in a geographical vicinity of the cell (122) is allocated baseband resource determining (303) that the digital unit (150 151 152 153 154 155) has available baseband resource of the 10 estimated (301) amount and if so allocating (304)the estimated (301) amount of baseband resource in the digital unit (150 151 152 153 154 155) to the radio unit (112).
