Abstract
To determine which traffic and terminal types and in which parts of a call should be best served by a given carrier there is provided a method and system for dynamically allocating carriers in a MIMO network using S-CPICH. The consideration of which carrier to allocate addresses problems caused by the enablement of the diversity transmission technique. Carriers are dynamically allocated to terminals in a WCDMA network scenario taking into account each terminal's vulnerability to interference from a carrier using S-CPICH or STTD according to certain parameters, such as a requested service or the radio conditions at any given time. The carriers are allocated from carriers using P-CPICH, S-CPICH and/or STTD. The invention also relates to a system that implements this method in a WCDMA network.
