摘要:
Systems and methods for Secondary Cell (sCell) selection for wireless devices operating according to a carrier aggregation scheme in a cellular communications network are disclosed. In one embodiment, a network node obtains a list of potential sCells for a wireless device. The network node blindly selects an sCell for the wireless device from the list of potential sCells. The network node then configures the wireless device with the selected sCell. Blindly selecting the sCell for the wireless device makes it possible to avoid the use of measurement gaps and reduce throughput loss, according to some embodiments.

Systems and methods for Secondary Cell (sCell) selection for wireless devices operating according to a carrier aggregation scheme in a cellular communications network are disclosed. In one embodiment, a network node in the cellular communications network obtains geographic signatures for a number of candidate sCells. The geographic signatures include a geographic signature for each candidate sCell that approximates a coverage area of the candidate sCell. The network node obtains position information for a wireless device and then selects one or more sCells for the wireless device from the candidate sCells based on the geographic signatures for the candidate sCells and the position information for the wireless device. The network node then configures the selected sCell(s) for use by the wireless device according to a carrier aggregation scheme. Using this process, sCell selection is performed, in some examples, without measurement gaps and without disabling an s-Measure parameter.
摘要:
Systems and methods are disclosed for autonomously determining overlapping coverage in a cellular communications network. In one embodiment, the cellular communications network is a heterogeneous cellular communications network. In one embodiment, a network node of a cellular communication system obtains information (e.g., pilot reports) indicative of a perceived coverage of one or more covering cells at wireless devices within a measuring cell over a measurement interval. The network node determines overlapping coverage of the measuring cell and the one or more covering cells based on the information indicative of the perceived coverage of the one or more covering cells at the wireless devices.
