Adjusting RAN capability based on data transport characteristics of a backhaul network in a telecommunication network
Abstract:
Method and communication network node for enabling a radio base station to adjust a Radio Access Network, RAN, capability within a RAN, such as handover or scheduling, dependent on a data transport characteristics of a backhaul network, such as data transfer rate, network delay and bandwidth. The RAN and the backhaul network are parts of a telecommunication network, and the first communication network node is arranged in the telecommunication network to communicate data between the RAN and a core network node in the telecommunication network.By acquiring knowledge of variations of transport characteristics in backhaul networks, RAN capabilities may be adjusted, e.g. by performing handover of UEs to other radio base stations which have better backhaul transport characteristics. Thereby, user experience for the users of the UE may be increased. In addition, an operator of the communication network may make better use of installed transport capacity.
