Abstract:
1. A method in an Evolved Node B (eNB) in a communication system, for enabling optimization of a utilization of throughput capacity of a first interface and a second interface of the eNB, the method comprising: receiving, by the eNB, data over the first interface, where the first interface and the second interface alternate in having a lowest throughput capacity, which limits a combined data throughput over the first interface and the second interface, caching, by the eNB, the received data in one of a plurality of layers of an Internet Protocol stack, and controlling, by the eNB, an output of the cached data over the second interface, based on an available throughput capacity of said second interface, thereby levelling out an alternating limiting throughput effect of the first interface and the second interface.
