Abstract:
1. A method of allocating resources in a cellular radio communication network comprising a plurality of user equipments and a cluster of at least one local access point to the network covering an associated microcell, the method comprising: for each local access point in the cluster: generating a global coverage message by aggregation of the local coverage message of each local access point in the cluster, whereby the global coverage message comprises user equipments positioning information that specifies, for each local access point in the cluster, the user equipments determined as present in the microcell coverage zone associated with the local access point and user equipments activity information including, for each local access point in the cluster, the data representing the activity state of each user equipment determined as present in the microcell coverage zone associated with the local access point; and modifying at least one operating parameter of at least one local access point in the cluster as a function of the user equipments positioning information and the user equipments activity information in the global coverage message.
