Abstract:
Method and arrangement in a base station for providing an input parameter in an algorithm for predicting uplink load in a cell in a wireless communication system. The cell comprises at least one user equipment. The method comprises obtaining SIR target value associated with the user equipment, measuring SIR value on a signal sent from the user equipment, comparing the difference between the obtained SIR target value and the measured SIR value with a threshold limit value, selecting the SIR value as input parameter in the uplink load prediction algorithm for the user equipment, if the difference between the obtained SIR target value and the measured SIR value is bigger than the threshold limit value. Otherwise selecting the SIR target value as input parameter in the uplink load prediction algorithm for the user equipment.
Abstract:
There is provided a method implemented by an electronic processing apparatus for responding to a request for a mobile terminal's geographic position. The method comprises computing (310) a joint QoS metric for the request, wherein the joint QoS metric is a single metric that jointly depends on two or more individual positioning QoS parameters associated with the request, by: determining a service type of the request; determining weighting values based on the service type; and computing the joint QoS metric as a weighted combination of the two or more individual positioning QoS parameters according to said weighting values. The method further comprises sending (320) the request and the joint QoS metric to another apparatus for selection of a positioning method, or a sequence of positioning methods, based on the joint QoS metric.
