摘要:
A method includes selecting a subset k of N accessible antennas to use to process a transmission received at the N antennas and sent by a user equipment, and processing the transmission from the user equipment at least by using baseband information from the k antennas. An apparatus includes one or more processors and one or more memories including computer program code. The one or more memories and the computer program code are configured to, with the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following", selecting a subset k of N accessible antennas to use to process a transmission received at the N antennas and sent by a user equipment; and processing the transmission from the user equipment at least by using baseband information from the k antennas. Additional apparatus, computer programs, and computer program products are disclosed.
摘要:
The exemplary embodiments of the invention provide at least a method and an apparatus to determine a beacon signal for a network node, where the network node is configured to connect with a cluster of access points in a wireless communication network, and where the beacon signal identifies the cluster; and send the beacon signal towards the wireless communication network. Further, the exemplary embodiments of the invention provide at least a method and an apparatus to determine a dominant access point of a cluster of access points based on signaling from at least one access point associated with the cluster of access points; and in response to the determining, direct communications towards the dominant access point of the cluster of access points.
摘要:
A method is disclosed that includes accessing baseband information for a number, N (N >1), of antennas accessible by a number of baseband units, where the baseband information correspond to a transmission by a user equipment and is received at the N antennas. The method includes determining values for one or more metrics for the baseband information for the N antennas. The method includes selecting, based on the determined values, a subset k of the N antennas and corresponding baseband information to use to determine output data for the transmission by the user equipment. The method includes determining the output data for the user equipment using the baseband information from the k antennas. Apparatus and computer program products are also disclosed.
