Abstract

The present invention relates to a base station and a method in a mobile telecommunication network for allocating and de-allocating uplink base station processing resources to a mobile terminal. The base station are adapted to communicate to a mobile terminal on an uplink channel supporting macro-diversity, and the base station is adapted to be a non-serving base-station without control of the resource allocation to the mobile-terminal. The base station comprises means for predicting a likelihood of successful decoding of a future transmission, and means for allocating or de-allocating processing resources based on said prediction.
