Abstract: A method for use in Radio Access Network, the method comprising: storing one or more configurations along with expected power characteristics for the one or more configurations; receiving a power measurement report, wherein the power measurement report indicates one configuration out of the one or more configurations and a corresponding measured power characteristics for a Radio Access Network radio unit; determining whether the measured power characteristics corresponds to the expected power characteristics of the indicated configuration, and if so verifying the configuration; and if not so issuing a warning.

Abstract: A scheduler and method for scheduling data transmission in a wireless communication system are disclosed. The scheduler buffers data packets in a buffer and monitors status of the buffer. The buffered data packets will remain in the buffer, until the buffer contains a data packet which is associated with a priority level higher than a priority level of a predefined priority threshold. Then, the scheduler selects a modulation and coding scheme for the buffered data packets and sends the buffered data packets to a radio unit for transmission.

Abstract: A scheduler (400) and method for scheduling data transmission in a wireless communication system (100) are disclosed. The scheduler (400) buffers data packets in a buffer and monitories status of the buffer. The buffered data packets will remain in the buffer, until the buffer contains a data packet which is associated with a priority level higher than a priority level of a predefined priority threshold or when the total amount of data packets in the buffer reaches a predefined Buffer Threshold Set Point. Then the scheduler (400) selects modulation and coding scheme for the buffered data packets and sends the buffered data packets to the radio unit for transmission.
