Abstract
A wireless communication unit () for a radio communication system comprises a device token controller () which receives at least a first geographical radio resource token allocated to the wireless communication unit () by a radio resource token controller () of a network of the radio communication system. The first geographical radio resource token provides a first radio resource right allocation to the wireless communication unit () for a first geographical area. A radio resource manager () then determines a radio resource usage parameter in response to the first radio resource right allocation. Specifically, the radio resource manager () may only determine the radio resource usage parameter in response to the first radio resource right allocation if the location estimate is within the first geographical area. The radio communication system may be a heterogeneous communication system. The invention may allow effective overall centralized radio resource management while allowing distributed radio resource management procedures and techniques to be used.
