Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for assignment of mobile stations (MS1-MS4) to so called multi-user channels (CH1, CH2) in a radio communication system. With information on mobile stations' (MS1, MS2 and MS3, MS4 respectively) power demands (P) from a base station (BS) with which they communicate, effective time spans for transmission of information (T) and/or relevant angular power spectrum (a1, a2) from the base station (BS) channels (CH1 and CH2 respectively) are allocated in such a manner that the total energy transmitted from each base station (BS) is minimized for transmitting information to its associated mobile stations (MS1-MS4). As a consequence the total level of interference in the radio communication system to which the base stations (BS) belong will be minimal, which results in a high efficiency for the system.
