Abstract
Methods and devices are provided for signal interaction with a radio network controller and a radio base station where a report signal comprising information indicating downlink performance associated with a data queue in the radio base station is generated and transmitted to the radio network controller. Hereby scheduling in the radio network controller can take into account the downlink performance associated with a data queue.
Claims39
A method in a radio base station for signal interaction with a radio network controller, the method comprising:
- generating a report signal comprising information indicating downlink performance associated with a data queue in the radio base station;
- and
- transmitting the generated report signal to the radio network controller.
A method in a radio network controller for signal interaction with a radio base station, the method comprising:
- receiving a report signal from the radio base station, the report signal comprising information indicating downlink performance associated with a data queue in the radio base station.
A radio base station comprising:
- a memory configured to hold data of one or more data queues;
- digital data processing circuitry configured to generate a report signal comprising information indicating downlink performance associated with a first data queue among said one or more data queues;
- and
- a network interface circuit, operably connected to the digital data processing circuitry, and configured to transmit the generated report signal to a radio network controller.
A radio network controller, RNC, comprising:
- a network interface circuit configured for signal interaction with a radio base station and to receive a report signal from the radio base station, the report signal comprising information indicating downlink performance associated with a data queue in the radio base station.
