Abstract

In a cell where messages having a message type are sent without knowledge of radio frequency conditions for individual ones of user equipment within the cell, measured radio frequency conditions are accessed of multiple user equipment within the cell. Based on the measured radio frequency conditions, a minimum control channel coding rate is determined for a control channel for messages having the message type. Subsequent to a determination of the minimum control channel coding rate, transmission is caused toward all user equipment in the cell of the messages having the message type using the determined minimum control channel coding rate for the control channel. Methods, apparatus, computer programs, and program products are disclosed. The methods may be performed by a base station, self-organizing network server, or other apparatus.
