Abstract
The embodiments disclose a method performed in a Radio Network Controller, RNC, in a radio communication network including at least one RNC and at least one Radio Base Station, RBS, and a plurality of user equipments, UEs. The method introduces cooperation between the RNC and other devices which have the related information about Enhanced Uplink, EUL and/or High Speed Downlink Packet Access, HSDPA, user number of said RBS. The method comprises: receiving a message, which includes the information about EUL and/or HSDPA user number of said RBS; using said information about EUL and/or HSDPA user number of said RBS for the RNC's capacity management. The embodiments also disclose a RNC thereof.

A method performed in a Radio Network Controller (RNC) in a radio communication network including at least one RNC and at least one Radio Base Station (RBS) and a plurality of user equipments (UEs), the method comprising:
- receiving a message that includes information about a number of users for Enhanced Uplink (EUL) or High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), or both, for said RBS;
- using said information for the RNC's capacity management.
A Radio Network Controller (RNC) in a radio communication network including at least one RNC and at least one Radio Base Station (RBS) and a plurality of user equipments (UEs), the RNC comprising:
- a transceiver configured to send and receive messages, and in particular to receive a message that has information about a number of users for Enhanced Uplink (EUL) or High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), or both, for said RBS;
- a storage configured to store information used by said RNC;
- a processor configured to use, for capacity management, said information about a number of users for Enhanced Uplink (EUL) or High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), or both, for said RBS.
A method performed in a Radio Base Station (RBS) in a radio communication network including at least one Radio Network Controller (RNC) and at least one RBS, and a plurality of user equipments (UEs), the method comprising:
- generating a message that has information about a number of users for Enhanced Uplink (EUL) or High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), or both, for said RBS;
- and
- sending said message.
A Radio Base Station (RBS) in a radio communication network including at least one Radio Network Controller (RNC) and at least one RBS, and a plurality of user equipments (UEs) comprising:
- a generator, configured to generate a message that has information for said RBS about a number of users for Enhanced Uplink (EUL) or High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), or both;
- and
- a transceiver, configured to send said message.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereupon instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to implement the operations of claim 1.
