ARRANGEMENT FOR A RADIO NETWORK AND A METHOD FOR GRANTING DATA RATES TO USERS IN A RADIO NETWORK

摘要

The present invention relates to an arrangement (202) for granting data rates to users in a radio network comprising a scheduler (207) arranged to grant data rates to users present within a cell of said radio network. The arrangement comprises a unit arranged to determine whether at least one new user in the cell originates from an adjacent cell, and an interference determination unit (209). The interference determination unit is arranged to provide a measure of a total interference level within the cell and to determine a relation between a set maximum interference value and the measured total interference level. The determination comprises adjusting the relation between the set maximum interference value and the measured total interference level if the origin determination unit has determined that the new user originates from an adjacent cell. The scheduler (207) is arranged to grant data rate to the at least one new user based on the determined relation between the set maximum interference value and the measured total interference level.
