Abstract
A method distributes transport bearer capacity in a communication system. The method comprises defining a total need for transport capacity for a set of transport bearers sharing a physical channel. The method also comprises reserving transport bearer capacity from the physical channel based on total need. The method also comprises distributing transport bearer capacity to at least one individual transport bearer of the set of transport bearers from the transport bearer capacity reserved from the physical channel Furthermore, a network entity for a communication system and a communication system are configured to execute the method.

A method for distributing transport bearer capacity in a communication system, the method comprising:
- defining a total need for transport capacity for a set of transport bearers sharing a physical channel;
- reserving transport bearer capacity from the physical channel based on said total need;
- and
- distributing transport bearer capacity to at least one individual transport bearer of the set of transport bearers from the transport bearer capacity reserved from the physical channel.
A computer program embodied on computer-readable medium comprising program code means for performing, when the program is run on a computing means, the steps of:
- defining a total need for transport capacity for a set of transport bearers sharing a physical channel;
- reserving transport bearer capacity from the physical channel based on said total need;
- and
- distributing transport bearer capacity to at least one individual transport bearer of the set of transport bearers from the transport bearer capacity reserved from the physical channel.
A network element for a communication system, the network element configured to:
- define a total need for transport capacity for a set of transport bearers sharing a physical channel;
- reserve transport bearer capacity from the physical channel based on said total need;
- and
- distribute transport bearer capacity to at least one individual transport bearer of the set of transport bearers from the transport bearer capacity reserved from the physical channel.
A network element for a communication system, the network element comprising:
- defining means for defining a total need for transport capacity for a set of transport bearers sharing a physical channel;
- reserving means for reserving transport bearer capacity from the physical channel based on said total need;
- and
- distributing means for distributing transport bearer capacity to at least one individual transport bearer of the set of transport bearers from the transport bearer capacity reserved from the physical channel.
A communication system configured to:
- define a total need for transport capacity for a set of transport bearers sharing a physical channel;
- reserve transport bearer capacity from the physical channel based on said total need;
- and
- distribute transport bearer capacity to at least one individual transport bearer of the set of transport bearers from the transport bearer capacity reserved from the physical channel.
A communication system comprising:
- defining means for defining a total need for transport capacity for a set of transport bearers sharing a physical channel;
- reserving means for reserving transport bearer capacity from the physical channel based on said total need;
- and
- distributing means for distributing transport bearer capacity to at least one individual transport bearer of the set of transport bearers from the transport bearer capacity reserved from the physical channel.
