Abstract:
1. A method in a base station of allocating user entities (UEs) to at least two carriers in at least one cell of a system, the first carrier having at least a first channel, the second carrier having at least a second channel, the at least two carriers not causing interference to one another, wherein user entities may be selectively assigned to either the first channel or the second channel, the method comprising the steps of: gathering information on respective measures relating to the noise enduring capability (MAX-ROT(UEn)) of respective prevalent user entities within the at least one cell; ordering the prevalent user entities according to their respective noise enduring capabilities (MAX_ROT(UEn)_UE); allocating or re-allocating user entities with low noise enduring capabilities to a channel on the first carrier; and, allocating or re-allocating user entities with high noise enduring capabilities (MAX-ROT(UEn)) to a channel on the second carrier;
