Abstract: An interface, apparatus, and method are described for communication between a radio control (REC) node and first and second radio equipment (RE) nodes in a radio base station that transceives information over radio interface using multiple antenna carriers. The REC node is separate from and coupled to the first RE node by a first transmission link, and the second RE node coupled to the first RE by a second transmission link. Both control information and user information intended for communication between the REC node and the first RE node and the REC and the second RE node are conveyed over the first transmission link. The first RE node also conveys information between the REC and second RE node. Many advantageous features are described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a management method for radio resources in a radio telecommunication system, in which a first radio telecommunication system has a first decentralized functional unit for managing radio resources, and a second radio telecommunication system has a second decentralized functional unit for managing radio resources. The first and the second decentralized function unit signal information with respect to a work load of the radio resources to a central functional unit for common radio resource management. The central functional unit evaluates this information and signals information with respect to load targets to at least one of the decentralized functional units, said information being taken into consideration by the decentralized functional unit in an intersystem handover.

Abstract: The invention relates to a management method for radio resources in a radio telecommunication system, in which a first radio telecommunication system has a first decentralized functional unit (serving RRM function) for managing radio resources, and a second radio telecommunication system has a second decentralized functional unit (neighbouring RRM function) for managing radio resources. The first and the second decentralized function unit signal information with respect to a work load (load measurements) of the radio resources to a central functional unit for common radio resource management (CRRM function). The central functional unit (CRRM function) evaluates this information (load measurements) and signals information with respect to load targets to at least one of the decentralized functional units, said information being taken into consideration by the decentralized functional unit in an intersystem handover (ISHO).

Abstract: According to the invention, a connection between a base transceiver station and a subscriber station is allocated a transmission rate for signal transmission from the base transceiver station to the subscriber station on the basis of a connection-specific level of path damping.
