Patent ID: 10009876

Abstract:
A method for determining an adapted resource pattern to be applied by an access node (204a), the resource pattern comprising time-frequency resource units is described. The method is performed by the access node (204a) and comprises determining (229) information indicative of a resource usage of resources of the access node (204a) reserved for at least one terminal (206) servable by the access node (204a), and receiving (244), from at least one further access node (204b), information indicative of a resource usage of resources of the at least one further access node (204b) reserved for at least one further terminal servable by the at least one further access node (204b). The method also comprises determining (248) an adapted resource pattern to be applied by the access node (204a) based on the determined information in relation to the received information. Further, related methods for the at least one further access node, the related access node and the related at least one further access nodes, a communication system, computer programs and computer program products are described. Therefore an optimally balancing of a throughput of terminals servable by an access node and a throughput of other terminals servable by at least a further access node can be enabled in a coordinated, dynamic and efficient way.
