The present invention relates to an arrangement () for granting data rates to users in a radio network comprising a scheduler () arranged to grant data rates to users present within a cell of said radio network. The arrangement comprises a unit arranged to determine whether at least one new user in the cell originates from an adjacent cell, and an interference determination unit (). The interference determination unit is arranged to provide a measure of a total interference level within the cell and to determine a relation between a set maximum interference value and the measured total interference level. The determination comprises adjusting the relation between the set maximum interference value and the measured total interference level if the origin determination unit has determined that the new user originates from an adjacent cell. The scheduler () is arranged to grant data rate to the at least one new user based on the determined relation between the set maximum interference value and the measured total interference level.

Arrangement for a radio network and a method for granting data rates to users in a radio network

A method, an apparatus and a computer program for providing assistance data for satellite based positioning of mobile stations operating in a first cell of a cellular radio communication system utilizing ranging signals transmitted by satellites. A sequence of assistance data for positioning of a mobile station operating in the first cell is generated () by including in said sequence assistance data associated with individual satellites in a set of at least four satellites. At least one of said set of satellites and the order in which assistance data associated with individual satellites occurs in said sequence of assistance data is selected () utilizing control data associated with the first cell and reflecting local obstructions in the first cell or its immediate surroundings affecting reception of said ranging signals in the first cell. The invention also includes a method, an apparatus and a computer program for updating () said control data utilizing information derived from positionings of mobile stations in the first cell.
