Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention concerns a method for managing a network of a plurality of small cell base stations arranged in a macro-cell and linked to a base station of the macro-cell, each small cell base station being adapted to cover a small cell of the macro-cell and to be linked via radio to at least one mobile terminal present in the small cell.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for managing the traffic of a network of a plurality of small cell base stations arranged in a macro-cell in which there is at least one terminal, each small cell base station being adapted to cover a small cell of the macro-cell, the method comprising the following steps: determining at least one possible connection between said at least one terminal and a small cell base station; placing in a queue several data packets addressed to said at…
