摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for controlling local traffic capacity in a cellular radio network comprising several base stations (BTS1 - BTS4) each having one or more assigned frequency channels for establishing radio connections with active mobile radios (MS) presently located within a predetermined radio coverage area (CS1 - CS4) thereof, said assigned frequency channels being different at least in base stations having adjoining radio coverage areas. In the invention, at least one of the base stations (BTS1 - BTS3) directs at least one of its assigned frequency channels to another radio coverage area (1 - 3) deviating from the predetermined coverage area (CS1 - CS3) and covering at least partly the radio coverage area of one of the neighbouring base stations (BTS4), when the trafffic capacity requirement within the radio coverage area of said neighbouring base station increases substantially. |
