Abstract  Abstract

A mobile communications system has a radio network controller (18a 18b) and a Node B (20a 20b 20c 20d) coupled to the radio network controller (18a 18b) the Node B (20a 20b 20c 20d) being operable to control a plurality of its Node B internal resources for admission control. Admission control is moved from a controlling radio network controller (CRNC) (44) to the Node B (20a 20b 20c 20d) so as to avoid possible errors relating to fragmentation that occur in systems in which the CRNC (44) controls admission. To support network related requirements such as reserving capacity for high priority calls and incoming handovers the CRNC (44) informs the Node B (20a 20b 20c 20d) about the reservations that shall be applied and the Node B configures the admission control algorithm in accordance with the reservations.
