Abstract

Method and radio base station for adapting a Radio Access Network, RAN, capability, in response to variations in transport characteristics, such as data transfer rate, maximum available bandwidth, and maximum used bandwidth, of a backhaul network. The radio base station is arranged to communicate data between a RAN and the backhaul network, said method comprising to obtain, by a controller, information related to the transport characteristics of the backhaul network. The method comprises further to determine, by the controller, based on the obtained information, an output level of the radio base station, and to adjust, by the controller, the output level of the radio base station to the determined output level.
