Abstract:
The embodiments herein relates to a method in a first network node for handling operation mode of a base station in a communications network. The communications network comprises a transport network. The first network node activates a Remote Unit-Main Unit, RU-MU, operation mode in the base station when data traffic load in the transport network is below a first threshold. The first network node activates a regular operation mode in the base station when the data traffic load in the transport network is above a second threshold.
Abstract:
A method in a first network node (215) for handling transport network data traffic in a first base station (201) is provided. The first base station (201) comprises a transport network transmission equipment (205) and the transport network transmission equipment (205) is a part of a transport network. When the first base station (201) is in a sleep mode, the first network node (215) determines (306, 801) that the transport network transmission equipment (205) should be bypassed by activating a relay (209) comprised in the first base station (201) such that data traffic from a second network node (217) is transmitted via the relay (209) to a third network node (220).
Abstract:
The switch for a telecommunications exchange in accordance with an embodiment of the invention adapts a time slot in an incoming TDM-frame to an ATM frame in accordance with a predetermined ATM-VCC, and further dynamically changes a number of ATM cells in the ATM frame for the predetermined ATM-VCC in accordance with a changing number of connections carried through an ATM switch fabric (40) of the exchange. The exchange comprises the ATM switch fabric; a sending port (100); and a receiving port (200). An inband synchronisation signal is carried in an ATM frame routed through the ATM switch fabric from the sending port to the receiving port for coordinating a changing frame structure between the sending port and the receiving port in accordance with the changing number of connections. According to one example implementation, the number of ATM cells in the ATM frame for the predetermined ATM-VCC varies between one and sixty four, and one ATM cell in the ATM frame for the predetermined ATM-VCC convey eleven time slots.
