Abstract
The invention relates to a method for communicating information relating to the scheduling of uplink data transmissions for a mobile terminal transmitting data on the uplink to a plurality of base stations during soft handover of the mobile terminal in a mobile communication system. Further at least one base station of said plurality of base stations schedules uplink data transmissions of the mobile terminal in soft handover. The different embodiments of the invention provide a communication system, a radio resource controller, a base station and mobile terminal which may perform different tasks of the method disclosed. To provide a method reducing the impact of uplink transmissions during soft handover on the rise over thermal it is suggested to provide all base stations communicating with the mobile terminal during soft handover with information on the maximum amount of resources allocated to the mobile terminal for uplink transmissions thereby allowing the base stations to schedule other terminal taking into account this information.
