Abstract
Disclosed is a method comprising receiving a first set of fronthaul data associated with a first radio access technology; receiving a second set of fronthaul data associated with a second radio access technology different from the first radio access technology; and determining based at least on the first set of fronthaul data and the second set of fronthaul data, whether to utilize one or more radio chains of at least two radio chains for spectrum sharing between at least the first radio access technology and the second radio access technology.
Claims19
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive a first set of fronthaul data associated with a first radio access technology,
- receive a second set of fronthaul data associated with a second radio access technology different from the first radio access technology, and
- determine, based at least on the first set of fronthaul data and the second set of fronthaul data, whether to utilize one or more radio chains of at least two radio chains for spectrum sharing between at least the first radio access technology and the second radio access technology.
A method comprising:
- receiving a first set of fronthaul data associated with a first radio access technology;
- receiving a second set of fronthaul data associated with a second radio access technology different from the first radio access technology;
- and
- determining, based at least on the first set of fronthaul data and the second set of fronthaul data, whether to utilize one or more radio chains of at least two radio chains for spectrum sharing between at least the first radio access technology and the second radio access technology.
A computer program comprising instructions which, when executed by an apparatus, cause the apparatus to:
- receive a first set of fronthaul data associated with a first radio access technology;
- receive a second set of fronthaul data associated with a second radio access technology different from the first radio access technology;
- and
- determine, based at least on the first set of fronthaul data and the second set of fronthaul data, whether to utilize one or more radio chains of at least two radio chains (209, 209A) for spectrum sharing between at least the first radio access technology and the second radio access technology.
