Abstract

A method for allocating a spectral resource of a radio cell of a mobile communication network to a mobile application includes: establishing, by the mobile application, a wireless connection to an application backend via a radio access point of the radio cell of the mobile communication network; and allocating, by a scheduler of the mobile communication network, the spectral resource of the radio cell to the established wireless connection. An optimization service requested by the scheduler determines a minimum of an overall cost function, the overall cost function summing a plurality of cost values, wherein each cost value is related to a respective mobile application connected to the radio access point. The scheduler allocates the spectral resource depending on the determined minimum of the overall cost function.
