Base stations and radio devices

A radio device of a mobile communication network, wherein the radio device is located in a first radio cell of the mobile communication network operated by a base station and wherein the radio device operates a second radio cell of the mobile communication network, the radio device comprising

• a receiver configured to receive, from the base station, a request to take the allocation of radio resources by another first radio device for a communication connection between the mobile communication network and a mobile terminal provided by the other radio device into account when allocating radio resources for communication within the second radio cell operated by the radio device and configured to receive from the other radio device an indication of the allocation of radio resources by the other radio device for the communication connection an allocation circuit configured to allocate communication resources for the communication within the second radio cell taking into account the allocation of radio resources by the other radio device for the communication connection.

A base station of a mobile communication network, wherein the base station operates a first radio cell of the mobile communication network, comprising a handover circuit configured to hand over a communication connection between a mobile terminal located in the first radio cell and the mobile communication network to a radio device operating a second radio cell of the mobile communication network

• a timer configured to measure the time since the handover of the communication connection to the radio device;
• a detector configured to detect whether the time since the handover of the communication connection to the radio device has reached a predetermined threshold;
• a communication circuit configured to take over the communication connection between the mobile terminal and the mobile communication network from the radio device when it has been detected that the time since the handover of the communication connection to the radio device has reached a predetermined threshold.

Network component of a mobile communication network comprising a plurality of radio devices, each radio device operating a radio cell, the network component comprising a signaling circuit configured to signal to the plurality of radio devices that the radio devices are to communicate with at least one mobile terminal based on a radio cell identification which is equal for all radio cells operated by the radio devices of the plurality of radio devices.

Mobile terminal comprising,

• a memory storing a first radio cell identification and a second radio cell identification;
• a transceiver configured to perform synchronization with a first radio device based on the first radio cell identification and to perform downlink and uplink communication with the first radio device and the second radio device based on the second radio cell identification.
