Abstract:
1. A method for adjusting a timing offset value for a base station, the base station being adapted for controlling and receiving uplink radio link transmissions from a plurality of user entities (UE) according to predetermined response time requirements, the method comprising the steps of: estimating at least one time budget map according to which the available processing time in the base station is given as a function of the possible timing offset value; determining a given timing offset value for the uplink radio link of a user entity from the plurality of user entities in accordance with the estimated time budget map; and assigning the determined timing offset value to the radio link, wherein the assignment of the timing offset value is optimized such that a base station processing time is above a minimum supported base station processing time, and wherein the timing offset for each new user entity is further arranged such that a substantially even distribution over time is accomplished considering previously assigned user entities in a cell associated with the base station.
