| 1. A method, comprising:
receiving, in a base station, signals from at least one remote unit related to traffic parameters detected by the at least
one remote unit, wherein the traffic parameters are traffic parameters of at least one terminal signal within a coverage area
of each of a plurality of remote units, wherein the traffic parameters of the at least one terminal signal comprise at least
one of a number of the terminal signals, interference and noise;
calculating, by the base station, relative average traffic levels between the remote units based on the received signals related
to the traffic parameters from the remote units; and
allocating traffic transfer resources based on the calculated relative average traffic levels between the remote units, wherein
the allocating of the traffic transfer resources further comprises either sharing the traffic transfer resources between the
remote units evenly or splitting at least one cell so that total average traffic levels of the remote units in each cell are
as equal as possible when it is detected that more capacity is needed.
