摘要

A base station (1) with a processor (3) receives measurement reports (7) form a plurality of channel devices 51< 5n?, each channel device (5) performing measurements on its respective channel. Overload of the processor (3) is avoided by reducing the rate at which measurement reports (7) are sent to the processor (3) when the load of processor (3) is determined as exceeding a given threshold. The channel devices (5) are allowed to increase their reporting rates after the load of the processor falls again to an acceptable level. The measurement deviates from a previously reported measurement by a predetermined amount.
