<p>A method of controlling operation of a wireless communication network comprising a plurality of base stations, a computer program product and network control node operable to perform that method. The wireless communication network comprises a plurality of base stations, each operable to support a region of radio coverage to allow communication links to be established with user equipment within the network. The method comprises: collecting operational information relating to user equipment operating in the network from the plurality of base stations; determining, based on the collected operational information, an indication of said network capacity utilisation; calculating whether an operational parameter of one or more of the plurality of base stations may be adjusted to offer improved uplink service to the user equipment whilst maintaining said determined indication of network capacity utilisation, and, if so, instructing the adjustment of the operational parameter of one or more of the plurality of base stations. Aspects and embodiments described herein propose use of "water-filling" methods to vary target SINRs within a network, with the aim of opportunistically filling any uplink capacity gaps.</p> |
