Optimized delay
First Claim
1. A method for adjusting a timing offset value for a base station, the base station being adapted for controlling and receiving uplink radio link transmissions from a plurality of user entities (UE) according to predetermined response time requirements,the method comprising the steps of:
- estimating at least one time budget map according to which the available processing time in the base station is given as a function of the possible timing offset value;
determining a given timing offset value for the uplink radio link of a user entity from the plurality of user entities in accordance with the estimated time budget map; and
assigning the determined timing offset value to the radio link,wherein the assignment of the timing offset value is optimized such that a base station processing time is above a minimum supported base station processing time, and wherein the timing offset for each new user entity is further arranged such that a substantially even distribution over time is accomplished considering previously assigned user entities in a cell associated with the base station.

Abstract
A method for adjusting a timing offset value (CO) for a receiver (Node-B) is provided, the receiver being adapted to controlling and receiving reverse radio Sink transmissions from a transmitter (UE) according to predetermined response time requirements. The method comprising the steps of—estimating (11) at least one time budget map (TBM—116, 116′) according to which the available processing time in the receiver is given as a function of the possible timing off-set value (CO); —determining (15) a given timing offset value (CO—106) for the radio fink (RL) of the transmitter in accordance with the estimated time budget map (TBM), such as to provide an optimized offset (CO) value for the base station; —assigning (17) the determined timing offset value (CO) to the radio link.
