Method and arrangement in a wireless communication system

Method in a base station for scheduling physical resources to a user equipment served by the base station, in a transmission bandwidth, wherein some physical resources within the transmission bandwidth are subjected to a performance requirement power restriction value, the method comprising:

• receiving measurement information from the user equipment,
• determining if the user equipment is to be prioritized or not, wherein the determining comprises estimating an actual transmit power of the user equipment, by computing a transmit power, based on the received measurement information and subtracting the performance requirement power restriction value of the physical resources to be scheduled to the user equipment, and only consider the user equipment to be prioritized when the estimated actual transmit power is bigger than an actual transmit power threshold value, and
• scheduling physical resources based on the performance requirement power restriction value of the physical resources to be scheduled, wherein the scheduling of physical resources comprises only scheduling physical resources to the user equipment if the estimated actual transmit power of the user equipment exceeds the performance requirement power restriction value of the physical resources to be scheduled.

Arrangement in a base station for scheduling physical resources to a user equipment served by the base station, in a transmission bandwidth, wherein some physical resources within the transmission bandwidth are subjected to a performance requirement power restriction value, the arrangement comprising:

• a scheduling unit, adapted to schedule physical resources based on the performance requirement power restriction value of the physical resources to be schedule, wherein some physical resources within a frequency band are subjected to a performance requirement power restriction value larger than a power restriction threshold limit value, and some physical resources are subjected to a performance requirement power restriction value less than the power restriction threshold limit value,
• a determining unit adapted to determining if the user equipment is to be prioritized or not, and,
• wherein the scheduling unit is further adapted to schedule the physical resources by scheduling physical resources that are subjected to a maximum power decrease less than the power restriction threshold limit value if the user equipment is determined to be prioritized, and scheduling physical resources that are subjected to a maximum power decrease exceeding the power restriction threshold limit value if the user equipment is not determined to be prioritized.

A base station configured for scheduling physical resources within a transmission bandwidth to a user equipment, the base station comprising:

• one or more processor units that execute computer program code to enable following:
• scheduling the physical resources based on a performance requirement power restriction value of the physical resources to be scheduled, wherein some physical resources within a frequency band are subjected to a performance requirement power restriction value larger than a power restriction threshold limit value, and some physical resources are subjected to a performance requirement power restriction value less than the power restriction threshold limit value, determining if the user equipment is to be prioritized or not, and,
• wherein the scheduling of the physical resources comprises scheduling physical resources that are subjected to a maximum power decrease less than the power restriction threshold limit value if the user equipment is determined to be prioritized, and scheduling physical resources that are subjected to a maximum power decrease exceeding the power restriction threshold limit value if the user equipment is not determined to be prioritized.
