Abstract

A network node determines a system load of the network node for the UE. When the UE is capable of receiving control information on EPDCCH, the system load is determined based on a first and a second system load metrics on a physical resource shared by PDSCH and EPDCCH, which first load metrics comprises a load due to EPDCCH and a load due to multiplexed PDSCH and which second load metrics comprises a load due to multiplexed EPDCCH and a load due to PDSCH. When the UE is not capable of receiving control information on EPDCCH, the system load is determined based on the first system load metrics on the physical resource shared by the PDSCH and EPDCCH and a third system load metrics on a physical resource for carrying PDCCH. The network node further determines whether or not to allocate resources to the UE based on the determined system load metrics.
