<p>A wireless telecommunication system is described comprising a shared base station able to divide resources between multiple network operators sharing the base station (shared Radio Access Networks). The base station resources are divided into resource pools having their own set of sharing rules and associated scheduling method that may be configured independently for each resource pool. A number of techniques are described that may be used to ensure flexibility and fairness of access to the base station resources for the multiple network operators. Means are provided for defining a reserved proportion of resources of a communication bandwidth to be allocated for a set of one or more communication bearers for network operators, along with means for prioritising allocation of resources to the set of one or more communication bearers for each network operator, with further means for allocating resources, to the communication bearers of each network operator in dependence on a scheduling priority attributed to the communication bearers of that network operator by the prioritising means.</p> |
