Method for providing a pattern for communication between a subnetwork and a higher-level network in an analysis unit

Abstract

The invention relates to a method (100) for providing a pattern for communication between a subnetwork (1) and a higher-level network (2) in an analysis unit (10), comprising: - collecting (101) operational and / or traffic management data of the subnetwork (1), - identifying (102) a period of low network demand in the subnetwork (1) based on an analysis of the collected (101) data, - determining (103) an almost blank subframe pattern (5) for communication between a subnetwork (1) and a higher-level network (2) based on the identification (102), wherein the almost blank subframe pattern (5) defines at least one specific subframe during which the subnetwork (1) and / or the subnetwork controller (20) can reduce or interrupt transmissions without impairing its capacity for communication with the higher-level network (1).- Providing (104) the specified (103) Almost Blank Subframe Pattern (5) for a subnetwork controller (20) for further processing.
