Abstract
A method of managing processing resources in a mobile radio system, in which a first entity manages radio resources and corresponding processing resources, the latter being provided in a second entity separate from the first entity, in which method: the second entity signals to the first entity its global processing capacity, or capacity credit, and the consumption law, or quantity of said global processing capacity, or cost, for different spreading factor values, the first entity updates the capacity credit on the basis of the consumption law, and in the case of multicode transmission using N spreading codes, said updating is effected on the basis of the cost for at least one of the N spreading codes.

A method of managing processing resources in a mobile radio system, in which a first entity manages radio resources and corresponding processing resources, the latter being provided in a second entity separate from the first entity, in which method:
- the second entity signals to the first entity its global processing capacity, or capacity credit, and the consumption law, or quantity of said global processing capacity, or cost, for different spreading factor values,
- the first entity updates the capacity credit on the basis of the consumption law, and
- in the case of multicode transmission using N spreading codes, said updating is effected on the basis of the cost for at least one of the N spreading codes.
A load control and/or call admission control method for use in a mobile radio system in which a first entity manages radio resources and corresponding processing resources, the latter being provided in a second entity separate from the first entity, in which method:
- the second entity signals to the first entity its global processing capacity, or capacity credit, and the consumption law, or quantity of said global processing capacity, or cost, as a function of the necessary resources,
- the first entity updates the capacity credit on the basis of the consumption law, and
- if the capacity credit in the uplink and/or downlink direction falls below a given first threshold, any new call is rejected until the capacity credit is again above a given second threshold greater than or equal to the first threshold.
A load control and/or call admission control method in a mobile radio system in which a first entity manages radio resources and corresponding processing resources, the latter being provided in a second entity separate from the first entity, in which method:
- the second entity signals to the first entity its global processing capacity, or capacity credit, and the consumption law, or quantity of said global processing capacity, or cost, as a function of the resources necessary,
- the first entity updates the capacity credit on the basis of the consumption law, and
- an overload control procedure is initiated if the capacity credit falls below a given threshold.
