The invention relates to a management entity (301) for managing communications between a plurality of wireless user entities (305a-d) and a plurality of radio antenna units (303a, b), wherein each radio antenna unit (303a, b) is configured for communications in a communication network using beamforming and wherein each radio antenna unit (303a, b) is configured to communicate with one or more wireless user entities (305a-d) over a number of transport links of a transport network. The management entity (301) is configured to: group wireless user entities from the plurality of wireless user entities (305a-d) into at least one set of wireless user entities; obtain a quality indicator on at least one transport link for each wireless user entity of the at least one set of wireless user entities; if at least one obtained quality indicator is below a predetermined threshold, compare an interference value for each wireless user entity in the at least one set with a predefined threshold and exclude at least one wireless user entity based on the comparison result thereby updating the set of wireless user entities; obtain an updated quality indicator for each wireless user entity in the updated set of wireless user entities on at least one transport link; and assign wireless user entities in the updated set of wireless user entities to at least one transport link towards at least one radio antenna unit if the updated quality indicators are at least equal to the predefined threshold.

Abstract
The invention relates to a management entity (301) for managing communications between a plurality of wireless user entities (305a-d) and a plurality of radio antenna units (303a, b), wherein each radio antenna unit (303a, b) is configured for communications in a communication network using beamforming and wherein each radio antenna unit (303a, b) is configured to communicate with one or more wireless user entities (305a-d) over a number of transport links of a transport network. The management entity (301) is configured to: group wireless user entities from the plurality of wireless user entities (305a-d) into at least one set of wireless user entities; obtain a quality indicator on at least one transport link for each wireless user entity of the at least one set of wireless user entities; if at least one obtained quality indicator is below a predetermined threshold, compare an interference value for each wireless user entity in the at least one set with a predefined threshold and exclude at least one wireless user entity based on the comparison result thereby updating the set of wireless user entities; obtain an updated quality indicator for each wireless user entity in the updated set of wireless user entities on at least one transport link; and assign wireless user entities in the updated set of wireless user entities to at least one transport link towards at least one radio antenna unit if the updated quality indicators are at least equal to the predefined threshold.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
