1. A method of controlling a radio cell cluster consisting of a plurality of radio cells of a radio network, wherein the radio network comprises a plurality of different network components including at least one terminal, at least one base station, at least one radio network controller (RNC) for controlling a radio cell cluster, and at least one switching device, and wherein the RNC is connected via interfaces to the network components and a plurality of protocol stacks assigned to the different interfaces are provided for processing protocols, the method comprising allocating the protocol stacks to a plurality of different multiprocessor modules comprising a plurality of processor groups each comprising a plurality of individual processors for the processing, where the precise allocation to an individual processor takes place as a function of which protocol stack the individual protocols belong to and which layer within the protocol stack that the protocols belong to. |
