Allocating baseband resource capacity to cells based on baseband processing deadline margins

摘要

Methods by a radio unit and related radio units are disclosed which control capacity of baseband processing resources allocated to a radio communication cell. The method includes determining a deadline margin for a prior transmission time interval (TTI) based on a difference between a time when baseband processing of data for transmission completed and a defined deadline time for completion of the baseband processing. The method further includes determining a desired capacity of baseband processing resources to allocate to the radio communication cell for a present TTI, and controlling capacity of baseband processing resources allocated to the radio communication cell for the present TTI based on the deadline margin and the desired capacity.
