Abstract: The invention relates to a method, a module and an algorithm for allocating radio resources to a plurality of radio bearers in a wireless communications network. In order to improve the allocation of resources, first the current activity status 21,22 is determined for each radio bearer and/or for each set of radio bearers of at least a selected group of radio bearers and/or of sets of radio bearers. Then, based on the probability p,q with which each radio bearer and/or set of selected group will change its current activity status 21,22, a value is determined which is indicative of the probability of outage. Finally, it is decided based on a comparison of the determined value indicative of the probability of outage with a predetermined threshold value whether the current allocation of radio resources will be changed. The invention equally relates to a wireless access network comprising a corresponding module.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method, a module and an algorithm for allocating radio resources to a plurality of radio bearers in a wireless communications network. In order to improve the allocation of resources, it is proposed that first the current activity status (21,22) is determined for each radio bearer and/or for each set of radio bearers of at least a selected group of said radio bearers and/or of sets of said radio bearers. Then, based on the probability (p, q) with which each radio bearer and/or set of said selected group will change its current activity status (21,22), a value is determined which is indicative of the probability of outage. Finally, it is decided based on a comparison of said determined value indicative of the probability of outage with a predetermined threshold value whether the current allocation of radio resources will be changed. The invention equally relates to a wireless access network comprising a corresponding module.
