Abstract
The invention relates to a method for a channel allocation in a dual band network which dual band network comprises at least one base station of a serving cell, at least one base station of a neighbour cell and at least one subscriber terminal in radio connection with the base station of the serving cell, which subscriber terminal can be in connection with the base station of the serving cell either on the first or on the second radio band, which radio connection comprises at least one broadcast control channel, which broadcast control channel is only transmitted on the first band, which subscriber terminal carries out measurements of the serving cell and neighbour cells on the first ban, and the measurement result of the subscriber terminal on the second band is estimated on the basis of the measurements on the first band, and in which the connection between the subscriber terminal and the base station is established on the second band if the measurement result on the first band is bigger than a predetermined threshold value. The invention is characterized by dynamically adjusting the predetermined threshold value by observing the measurement results before and after establishing the connection to the other band. Thus, the performance of the base station system can be efficiently improved.
