Abstract
The present invention describes a system and a method for distributing channel port loading functionality in a radio base station. The radio base station has a plurality of transceivers and at least one frequency agile combiner. The transceivers have a plurality of channel ports each able to transceive either one of at least two channel functions each having corresponding higher or lower loading averages. The method has steps of averaging loading of each channel port over a predetermined period of time, identifying and seizing the channel port having lower average loading, reconfiguring the identified and seized channel port to the channel function having the higher loading average, letting adjust the frequency agile combiner accordingly and transferring the communication having higher loading average on the reconfigured channel port. The system has a module for determining the loading average of each channel port over a predetermined period of time, a module for identifying and seizing the channel port having lower loading average, and a device for reconfiguring the channel ports identified and seized to the channel functions having higher loading average, and for transferring one of the communications having higher loading average to the channel port reconfigured.
