Scheduling Different Types of Receivers in a Radio Base Station
First Claim
1. A method in a radio base station for scheduling a receiver of a first type to a user equipment within a radio cell served by the radio base station, wherein the radio base station comprises at least two different types of receivers;
- the first type of receiver and a second type of receiver, the first type of receiver comprises a receiver with a different receiving sensitivity than a receiver of the second type, the method comprising;
determining a distance between the user equipment and a radio cell boundary of the radio cell, andscheduling the receiver of the first type to the user equipment when the distance is determined to be within a distance range.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method in a radio base station (110) of a radio 100 telecommunications network (100), wherein the radio base station (110) comprises at least two different types of receivers; a first type of receivers and a second type of receivers. The first type of receivers comprises a different receiving sensitivity than the second type of receivers. The method is for scheduling a first type of receiver to a user equipment (120) within a radio cell (115) served by the radio base station (110). The radio base station determines a distance (125) between the user equipment (120) and a radio cell boundary (127) of the radio cell (115), and schedules the first type of receiver to the user equipment (120) when the distance is determined to be within a distance range.
