Abstract
A method performed in a scheduler entity is provided for adapting load on a fronthaul network in a radio access network comprising a central baseband unit and a remote radio unit. The central baseband unit and the remote radio unit are interconnected by the fronthaul network over which baseband signal information is exchanged. The method comprises obtaining information related to capacity of the fronthaul network, and adapting, based on the obtained information, air interface performance for at least one type of conveyed baseband signal information such as to enable adapting of load on the fronthaul network. A scheduler entity, method in a fronthaul module, computer programs and computer program products are also provided.
