Abstract: Joint provisioning of cell sector capacity (CSC) and a defined customer service level (CSL) is provided utilizing a knowledge discovery and data mining-assisted multi-radio access technology controller. For example, Strategic Performance Indexes, CSC and CSL, are identified. The relationships between CSC, CSL, ergodic channel capacity (ECC) and an interface load (IL) for a radio network (RN) (or cell sector of an RN) are determined. Extensive information associated with the RN is collected and neural networks analysis is employed to reduce the information to a manageable set including the specific information associated with ECC and IL. The reduced set of information is mapped to ECC and IL using eigenvalue analysis, and the relationships between the ECC, IL, CSC and CSL are employed to determine the CSC and CSL for the RN (or cell sector of the RN). Network assignments and/or parameters can be updated based on the results.

Abstract: Interfacing according to a common public radio interface in a base station in a mobile communication system is described. The interfacing comprises a conversion process for rate-converting legacy data samples. First a predetermined number of the legacy data samples is converted to frequency samples in a frequency domain, then the frequency samples are zero padded to extend the frequency range according to a related sample rate of a 4G data format and then converted into a number of data samples of the related sample rate. The related sample rate is a multiplication of S/K times a basic frame rate of the 4G data format, S samples being allocated to K frames, K and S being integers and K being 8 or less. Advantageously large buffers for allocating a large number of legacy samples to 4G frames are avoided.
