Abstract: A radiocommunication network includes a core network including primary and secondary nodes and a radio access network including radio controllers. Each primary node connects at least one secondary node, and each secondary node connects at least one radio controller via respective links. In relation to a given primary node, at least one entity in the radiocommunication network calculates respective target load reduction values for the links connecting the given primary node and secondary nodes, depending on an excess value between a current load of the given primary node and a primary node load threshold, and calculates respective target load reduction values for the links connecting said secondary nodes connected to the given primary node and radio controllers, depending on calculated target load reduction values. Actions are taken for changing traffic distribution by taking account of calculated target load reduction values.

Abstract: Estimating the speed of a mobile user terminal within a wireless environment and estimating the time when a mobile user terminal would reach a coverage border of the access point it is currently associated with. In particular, the present system is concerned with calculating a time (T) the terminal would take to move from a point A, after it has stopped making received signal level measurements, to another point B, at the coverage border of the access point, independently of any medium-specific parameters. This way, the present system enhances Quality of Service by properly estimating the speed and time and enabling a terminal, or an entity in the network, to take preemptive actions to ensure optimal QoS.
