摘要:
A method for waking up one or more sleeping small cell base stations (104 1 , 104 2 ) in a wireless communication system for serving a user equipment (112) is described. The wireless communication system includes a plurality of small cell base stations (104 1 , 104 2 ) and one or more macro base stations (100). A wake up signal configuration is received (200) at a user equipment (112), and a wake up signal configured in accordance with the received wake up signal configuration is transmitted (202) by the user equipment (112).
摘要:
A method is described for controlling a small cell base station (104 1 ) and a user equipment (112) to be served by the small base station in a wireless communication system comprising a plurality of small cell base stations (104 1 - 104 2 ) controlled by a macro base station (100). The method comprises, in response to a request (302) from the macro base station (100) to the small cell base station (104 1 ), performing, by the small cell base station (104 1 ), a beacon transmission on one or more resources, in response to a request (304) from the macro base station (100) to the user equipment (112), performing, by the user equipment (112), a channel quality measurement on the one or more resources, and reporting the measured channel quality from the user equipment (112) to the macro base station (100).

摘要:
A method is described for interference control among a first small cell base station (104 1 ) and a second small cell base station (104 2 ) in a wireless communication system comprising a plurality of small cell base stations (104 1 - 104 2 ) controlled by a macro base station (100). The method comprises, in response to a request (402) from the macro base station (100) to the first small cell base station (104 1 ), performing, by the first small cell base station (104 1 ), a beacon transmission on one or more resources, in response to a request (404) from the macro base station (100) to the second small cell base station (104 2 ), performing, by the second small cell base station (104 2 ), a channel quality measurement on the one or more resources, and reporting (406) the measured channel quality from the second small cell base station (1042 ) to the macro base station (100).

摘要:
A method for creating in a wireless communication system a virtual user-plane cell including a user-plane base station is described. The wireless communication system comprises a control-plane base station having a coverage area including a plurality of user-plane base stations. The method comprises identifying (206) an anchor user from a user set in the coverage area of the control-plane base station, selecting (208) from the plurality of user-plane base stations in the coverage area of the control-plane base station a user-plane base station allowing to serve the anchor user, associating (214) the mobile stations from the user set that can be served with a power spectral density lower than the anchor user by the selected user-plane base station with the selected user-plane base station, and creating a virtual user-plane cell including the selected user-plane base station and the users associated with the selected user-plane base station.

A method is described for controlling a small cell base station (104 1 ) in a wireless communication system comprising a plurality of small cell base stations (104 1 -104 2 ) controlled by a macro base station (100). The method comprises taking (204), by a small cell base station (104 1 ), a measurement for obtaining information describing a vicinity around the small cell base station (104 1 ) and reporting the information from the small cell base station (104 1 ) to the macro base station (100).
摘要:
A method for controlling an operational state of a user plane base station in a wireless communication system is described. The wireless communication system includes a control plane base station having a coverage area including a plurality of user plane base stations. The user plane base station is turned off when a first condition on a carried traffic in a coverage area of the user plane base station and a second condition on a number of mobile users in the coverage area of the user plane base station is fulfilled.
