Abstract

A method and system for reporting processing capacity of a base station (Node B) to a radio network controller (RNC), in a mobile telecommunications system. This method enables the RNC to enhance call control and resource management, especially when the Node B employs a time division duplex (TDD), but also if a frequency division duplex (FDD) system is employed. An important feature of this method is reporting processing capacity from the Node B to the RNC using the available bit rate (ABR).
