摘要:
A method includes receiving neighbor cell measurement results at a first relay node, the results originating from mobile device(s) located in a communications coverage area of the first relay node and that are served by the first relay node. Using the received neighbor cell measurement results, an amount of interference is estimated that is experienced by the first relay node due to operation of a second relay node. An interference report is sent that includes an indication of the estimated amount of interference from the first relay node to a network access node that serves the second relay node. The interference report is sent over a wireless link between the first relay node and the network access node that serves the first relay node, and from the network access node that serves the first relay node to the network access node that serves the second relay node.

There are provided measures for access control of a relay node with a closed subscriber group, said measures exemplarily comprising retrieval of setting information relating to a closed subscriber group of a base station function of a relay node, said relay node requesting access to a relay-enhanced cellular system via a donor base station, acquisition of setting information relating to a closed subscriber group of the donor base station, and execution of access control of the base station function of the relay node based on the setting information relating to the closed subscriber groups of the base station function of the relay node and the donor base station.

A method and an apparatus for handling closed subscriber groups in a relay-enhanced system are provided in the invention. The method includes: retrieving setting information relating to closed subscriber groups of a donor base station and a relay node of a relay-enhanced cellular system; acquiring a whitelist defining one or more closed subscriber groups in which a terminal is a member, the terminal requesting access to the relay-enhanced cellular system via the relay node; and verifying (i.e. checking and/or validating) a membership of the terminal for both closed subscriber groups of the donor base station and the relay node based on the retrieved setting information and the acquired whitelist. With the method and apparatus of the invention, user access control via the relay node in the relay-enhanced access networks can be improved.
摘要:
A method, including receiving, at a donor access node from a relay node associated with the donor access node, an identification of one or more other access nodes detected at the relay node and sending configuration information about said relay node from said donor access node to at least one of said one or more other access nodes in advance of an indication that a user equipment associated with the relay node has detected said at least one other access node, without at the same time sending said configuration information to at least one further access node that is detected by one or more other relay nodes or user equipments associated with the donor access node but not detected by said relay node. Wherein said configuration information includes information for setting up a communication with the relay node other than via a core network associated with the donor access node.
摘要:
It is described a method for coordinating a first radio resource partitioning scheme (115) being used by a first base station (BS1) and by a first relay node (RN1) being served by the first base station with a second radio resource partitioning scheme (125) being used by a second base station (BS2) and by a second relay node (RN2) being served by the second base station. The described method comprises acquiring an information from the second base station by the first base station, wherein the information is indicative for a relative timing displacement between (a) a first time pattern of the first radio resource partitioning scheme and (b) a second time pattern of the second radio resource partitioning scheme. The method further comprises adapting the first time pattern of the first radio resource partitioning scheme, which is used by the first relay node, to the second time pattern of the second radio resource partitioning scheme, which is used by the second relay node, in such a manner that Time Transmission Intervals (TTIs) of the first time pattern which one used for uplink radio transmissions coincide with TTIs of the second time pattern which one used for uplink radio transmissions. It is further described a corresponding first base station, which is adapted for controlling and/or for carrying out the above described method.
摘要:
There is proposed a mechanism providing functions of a so- called hybrid home node B (HHNB) where subscribers, depending on their belonging to a specific subscriber group, such as a closed subscriber group or an open subscriber group, are admitted for a connection to the communication network via different connection routes and systems. After a request for connecting a subscriber is received, an identification process is performed whether the subscriber belongs to a first subscriber group (CSG) or to a second subscriber group (OSG). On the basis of this identification, the subscriber is assigned to a first connection route or a second connection route. It is then checked whether available resources on the assigned connection route are sufficient, wherein on the basis of this check the request for connecting is allowed or rejected.

There are provided measures for handover control for backhaul connections, said measures exemplarily comprising evaluation of the suitability of an access node cell in access network as target for a handover of a terminal based on delay information being indicative of an expected packet delay in a cell of the access node, wherein such delay information may be generated and/or exchanged in the access network. Said measures may exemplarily be applied for improving handover control in relay-enhanced access networks or networks that contain access nodes connected via different kinds of backhaul that can result in different end-to-end packet delays.
