摘要:
A multi-antenna base station (16) is configured to transmit a plurality of common pilot channels. The base station (16) obtains information that indicates when the base station (16) is to gate the transmission of a subset of the common pilot channels. The base station (16) also receives from a wireless device (12) a channel state information (CSI) report for a current reporting period. This CSI report was generated by the wireless device (12) based on one or more measurements of one or more of the common pilot channels. The base station (16) notably also determines based on the obtained information and for each of the measurements, whether the base station (16) gated the transmission of the subset when that measurement was performed. Then, depending on that determination, the base station (16) selectively performs data transmission scheduling at the base station (16) based on one or more CSI reports received from the wireless device (12) for one or more previous reporting periods.

Multiple antennas employed at transmitting and receiving nodes (410, 420) can significantly increase a MIMO system capacity, especially when channel knowledge of link(s) between the transmitting and receiving nodes (410, 420) is available at the transmitting node (410). Channel knowledge may be acquired through feedback provided by the receiving node (420) based on a plurality of common pilots transmitted by the transmitting node (410). The common pilots may include legacy and non-legacy pilots. If the feedback indicates that data demodulation at the receiving node (420) can be enhanced, the transmitting node (410) may also transmit demodulation pilot signal(s), which may coincide with the transmission of data. The receiving node (420) can use the demodulation pilot signal(s), alone or with the common pilot signal(s), to demodulate data received from the transmitting node (420). The transmitting node (410) may notify the receiving node (420) to monitor for the demodulation pilot signal(s) through higher layer signaling and/or scheduling orders over a control channel.

A method performed by a central network node includes instructing one of a first network node and a second network node to transmit to a first wireless device. The central network node receives a first Channel Quality Indicator, CQI, and a third CQI sent by the first wireless device. The first CQI has been computed by the first wireless device based on a first unique signal transmitted by the first network node. The third CQI has been computed by the first wireless device based on a second unique signal transmitted by the second network node. The central network node identifies the one of the first and the second network nodes having a better channel quality, based on the received first CQI and the third CQI. The central network node sends a first message to the identified network node, instructing it to transmit to the first wireless device.
摘要:
According to one aspect of the teachings herein, a wireless communication network sends Interference Mitigation, IM, configuration information to a User Equipment, UE, or other wireless device operating in the network. The IM configuration information indicates a selected IM mode or mode. The IM modes differ with respect to the amount of network assistance required. Advantageously, IM mode selection by the network is based on obtaining capability information for the wireless device, indicating which IM modes are supported by the wireless device, and is further based on evaluating one or more operating parameters, such as network loading or resource availability and signal quality at the wireless device. From among the IM modes supported by the wireless device, the network selects the mode(s) that best complement current operating conditions, and the wireless device in turn restricts its operation to the selected IM modes.

A method, in a network node, for transmitting data in a heterogeneous network cellular communication system comprises transmitting of a SFN pilot signal (262). A SFN pilot signal is a pilot signal transmitted by all radio units of a heterogeneous network cell. Optionally, configuration information about non-SFN pilot signals in a cell of the network node is transmitted (260). Non-SFN pilot signals are pilot signals transmitted by less than all radio units of a heterogeneous network cell. The non-SFN pilot signal is transmitted (264). A control channel signal is transmitted (270) on a control channel and a data channel signal associated with the transmitted control channel signal is transmitted (280) on a data channel. A network node operable therefore is also presented. A method for receiving data in a heterogeneous network cellular communication system and a wireless device operable therefore are also presented.
摘要:
In MU-MIMO scenarios, a transmitting node (700) receives feedback on a feedback channel from a receiving node (1200) regarding a channel between the transmitting and receiving nodes (700, 1200). The feedback also includes preferences of the receiving node (1200). However, the feedback may not always be useful. For example, the receiving node (1200) may indicate a preferred rank in the feedback that the transmitting node (700) cannot accommodate. To address such issues, mechanisms for the transmitting node (700) to convey its preferences to the receiving node (1200) are proposed. The receiving node (1200), with such knowledge, can provide more useful feedback information to the transmitting node (700).

摘要:
The embodiments herein relate to a method in a base station (301) for scheduling a user equipment (305) in a communication system (300). The user equipment (205) receives a part of a CSI from the user equipment (305) in a TTI. The CSI comprises at least one of a CQI, a RI, a PCI, and an HARQ ACK/NACK. The user equipment (205) determines a type of data stream in which the part of the CSI was received and determines whether the type of data stream is equal to a predetermined type. The user equipment (205) schedules the user equipment (305) with a first transmission type when the type of data stream is equal to the predetermined type with a second transmission type when the type of data stream is different from the predetermined type.

The method also comprises applying a single hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process to the plurality of data blocks, whereby it is determined that at least one of the plurality of data blocks has been received ok and that at least one of the plurality of data blocks has not been received ok. The method also comprises generating a negative acknowledgement (NAK) for the plurality of data blocks in response to the at least one of the plurality of data blocks having not been received ok. The method also comprises outputting, from the receiver arrangement, at least one symbol obtained from the at least one of the plurality of data blocks which has been received ok.
