Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided a network node for performing video on demand equalization. Upon receiving downlink traffic to be transmitted to one or more terminal devices, the network node detects a VOD stream from the downlink traffic. The network node determines the number of VOD streams handled by the cell and a first traffic load and compares the number of the VOD streams and the first traffic load to a first and a second threshold. In response to the number of the VOD streams being above the first threshold or the first traffic load being above the second threshold, the network node selects a terminal device associated with one of the VOD streams, selects a target cell from available cells and schedules the terminal device to use the target cell for said one of the VOD streams.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method, a system, a base station, a base station hub (41) and software applications for data transmission between at least one base station (42-1, 42-2) and a radio network controller (40) in a radio access network, said method comprising operating a first-type physical layer protocol (46) for a transmission of said data between said at least one base station (42-1, 42-2) and a base station hub (41); operating a second-type physical layer protocol (47) for a transmission of said data between said base station hub (41) and said radio network controller (40); wherein said data comprises user data (340) that is transmitted between said radio network controller (40) and said at least one base station (42-1, 42-2) via said base station hub (41); and wherein said at least one base station (42-1, 42-2) performs at least base band processing for signals that are transmitted via a radio interface (7) and represent said user data (340).

Abstract: The invention relates to a macro base station, comprising at least one module for implementing the base station functionality between external interfaces of the base station, wherein the module is mountable as one unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a data transmission method and a base station system. The method comprises transmitting radio interface information over a bidirectional data link between a base station and a base station controller. The radio interface information comprises signalling information, user information and error control information. The method is characterized in that the radio interface information is compressed to fit into at least one ATM cell by replacing the original error control information of the radio interface information with simple status information. Other information may also be compressed and inserted into the ATM cell. Realization of the method is exemplified in the DECT system. The invention also relates to the necessary means and their protocol stacks.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for implementing transmission in a mobile network in which base stations (BTS) communicate through a transmission network with a base station controller (BSC) and through a radio path with mobile stations (MS).

Abstract: A mobile communication system and a method of processing signalling messages in a mobile communication system comprising mobile stations and base stations, the receiver units of the base stations being tuned to the same channel, in which method more than one mobile station transmits a signalling message to the base stations on the same channel in such a way that the signalling messages are received at the base stations so that they overlap at least partly in time.
