Abstract

It is presented a method for controlling remote radio head contribution by a plurality of remote radio heads in at least one combiner. The method is comprises: obtaining a number of available baseband processor devices for uplink processing; connecting uplink signals from a set of remote radio heads in each one of the combiners; determining a respective radio channel measurement for uplink radio communication from a first wireless device; repeating the connecting and determining until radio channel measurements have been determined for all of the plurality of remote radio heads; selecting a first subset of at least one remote radio head from the plurality of remote radio heads for receiving radio communication from the first wireless device; and reducing an uplink contribution from at least one remote radio head, of the plurality of remote radio heads, which is not part of the first subset.
