Variation of up link resources in a cellular system
First Claim
1. A method for a cellular wireless communication system having a first node configured to control traffic to and from users in a cell of the system, wherein the traffic comprises user resources and control resources, uplink traffic from users to the first node comprises uplink channels sent in data frames, each data frame comprises a number of resource blocks, and each uplink channel is allotted a respective amount of resource blocks in each data frame, the method comprising:
- dividing at least part of the traffic into a first group comprising the control resources and a second group comprising the user resources,monitoring the cell'"'"'s usages of the first and second groups, wherein the usages depend on at least a number of users in the cell, andvarying the amount of resource blocks allotted to an uplink channel based on the cell'"'"'s usages in previous data frames of the first and second groups.

Abstract
The invention discloses a method (300) for a cellular system (100) with a first node (110) which controls traffic to and from users (120) in a cell (130). Traffic between the users (120) and the first node (110) comprises user resources and control resources, with uplink traffic, comprising channels sent in data frames (200). Each data frame comprises a number of resource blocks (1, 2, 3, 4), and each uplink channel is allotted an amount of resource blocks in each data frame. At least part of the traffic between the users and the first node is divided (305) into first and second groups, and a cell'"'"'s usage of the first and second group is monitored (310). The amount of resource blocks which is allotted to one of the uplink channels in a cell (130) is varied (315) depending on the cell'"'"'s usage of these two groups.

8. A transceiver for a first node in a cellular wireless communication system, in which the first node controls traffic to and from users in a cell of the system, the traffic includes user resources and control resources, uplink traffic from users to the first node includes uplink channels sent in data frames, each data frame includes a number of resource blocks, the first node includes a device configured to allot each uplink channel a respective amount of resource blocks in each data frame and a device configured to divide at least part of the traffic between the users and the first node into a first and a second group, the transceiver comprising:
-
a device configured to monitor the cell'"'"'s usages in previous data frames of the first group comprising control resources and the second group comprising user resources, and a device configured to vary the amount of resource blocks allotted to an uplink channel based on the cell'"'"'s usages of the first and second groups, wherein the usages depend on at least a number of users in the cell. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
