METHOD FOR EFFICIENT UTILISATION OF THE THROUGHPUT CAPACITY OF AN ENB BY USING A CACHE

摘要

Method and apparatus for enabling optimisation of the utilisation of the throughput capacity of a first and a second interface of an eNB, where the first and the second interface alternate in having the lowest throughput capacity, and thereby take turns in limiting the combined data throughput over the two interfaces. In the method, data is received over the first interfaceandthen cached in one of the higher layers of the Internet Protocol stack. The output from the cache of data to be sent over the second interface is controlled,based on the available throughput capacity of the second interface. Thereby, the alternating limiting effect of the interfaces is levelled out.
