Patent ID: 8385930

Claim:
Method for distributing available radio resources between at least a first radio link extending between a primary network element being assigned to a first hierarchic level of a telecommunication network and a first secondary network element being assigned to a second hierarchic level of the telecommunication network and a second radio link extending between the primary network element and a second secondary network element being assigned to the second hierarchic level of the telecommunication network, the method comprising transmitting respectively a first resource allocation parameter from the first and the second secondary network element to a decision unit, wherein the first resource allocation parameter is indicative for a respective minimum performance requirement of the respective radio link, transmitting respectively a second resource allocation parameter from the first and the second secondary network element to the decision unit, wherein the second resource allocation parameter is indicative for a performance increase for the respective radio link, which would result from an allocation of additional radio resources to the respective radio link, and distributing the available radio resources by the decision unit between the first radio link and the second radio link based on the first resource allocation parameter and the second resource allocation parameter.
