Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Method and apparatus for enabling optimisation of the utilisation of the throughput capacity of a first and a second interface of an eNB, where the first and the second interface alternate in having the lowest throughput capacity, and thereby take turns in limiting the combined data throughput over the two interfaces. In the method, data is received over the first interface and then cached in one of the higher layers of the Internet Protocol stack. The output from the cache of data to be sent over the second interface is controlled, based on the available throughput capacity of the second interface. Thereby, the alternating limiting effect of the interfaces is levelled out.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method in an Evolved Node B (eNB) in a communication system, for enabling optimization of a utilization of throughput capacity of a first interface and a second interface of the eNB, the method comprising: receiving, by the eNB, data over the first interface, where the first interface and the second interface alternate in having a lowest throughput capacity, which limits a combined data throughput over the first interface and the second interface,…
