Abstract
Provided herein is a dynamically coordination of a distribution of radio signals via distributed remote radio units, with respect to changing numbers and locations of user equipment. A distributing and combining unit combines uplink radio signals from the remote radio units and distributes downlink radio signals from the access unit according to dynamically changing specified criteria. A measurement unit measures performance indicators of the communication between the remote radio units and the mobile communication devices into a matrix of performance indicator values, calculates cost functions therefrom and generates output execution parameters by applying a decision process based on the calculated cost function. Communication criteria are dynamically updated according to the generated output execution parameters and the process is continuously iterative. The invention allows incorporating “smart” capabilities into legacy networks without any major physical changes of the network.
