A network node for a wireless communication network, the network node being adapted for scheduling for communication of one or more terminals, the terminals being in a moving vehicle, based on location information and capability information pertaining to the one or more terminals, the network node comprising:
- a control circuitry configured to:
- receive location information and capability information from one or more terminals;
- for each terminal from the one or more terminals, based on the location information and the capability information:
- in response to determining that the terminal is located in a middle zone between two radio heads and the terminal is not capable of receiving data with a bandwidth covering transmission frequencies from both of the radio heads, allocate less resources to the terminal compared to other terminals in the middle zone;
- and
- in response to determining that the terminal is located in a close zone to a radio head of the two radio heads and the terminal is not capable of receiving data with the bandwidth covering transmission frequencies from both of the radio heads, allocate more resources to the terminal compared to other terminals in the close zone.
A method for operating a network node in a wireless communication network, the method comprising scheduling for communication of one or more terminals, the terminals being in a moving vehicle, based on location information and capability information pertaining to the one or more terminals, the method comprising:
- receiving location information and capability information from the one or more terminals;
- for each terminal from the one or more terminals, based on the location information and the capability information:
- in response to determining that the terminal is located in a middle zone between two radio heads and the terminal is not capable of receiving data with a bandwidth covering transmission frequencies from both of the radio heads, allocating less resources to the terminal compared to other terminals in the middle zone;
- and
- in response to determining that the terminal is located in a close zone to a radio head of the two radio heads and the terminal is not capable of receiving data with the bandwidth covering transmission frequencies from both of the radio heads, allocating more resources to the terminal compared to other terminals in the close zone.
