摘要:
Methods of controlling the power levels of transmitted signals in telecommunication systems are described. A user may be assigned a plurality of radio bearers associated with a plurality of physical channels for communicating with a radiocommunication system. A fast power control loop monitors a reference channel and adjusts transmit power in accordance with an SIR target value. A plurality of slow power control loops adjust the SIR target value and also provide offset transmit power values associated with each physical channel to adapt the transmit powers in accordance with varying quality requirements between radio bearers.

A cellular communications system that utilizes OFDM in its radio interface is capable of utilizing either a first subcarrier spacing or a second subcarrier spacing. Which of these is presently in use is indicated by generating a first type of synchronization signal in response to the first subcarrier spacing presently being in use, and generating a second type of synchronization signal in response to the second subcarrier spacing presently being in use. Whichever of the first type of synchronization signal and the second type of synchronization signal was generated is transmitted. To distinguish between the first and second types of synchronization signals, a time domain representation of the second type of synchronization signal includes a plurality of instances of the first type of synchronization signal.

Timing parameters and an identity of a particular one of a number of cell groups are indicated in a signal transmitted in a cellular communication system having a radio frame in a physical layer, the radio frame comprising a number of time slots. In a known one of the time slots, a synchronization signal, S1, is transmitted that comprises a pair of sequences, Si%,Sj% (Si%≠Sj% arranged in a first ordering. In another known one of the time slots, a synchronization signal, S2 is transmitted that comprises the pair of sequences, Si%,Sj% arranged in a second ordering. The selected pair of sequences is uniquely identified with the particular cell group, and the first ordering of the sequences is used only for transmission in the known one of the time slots, and the second ordering of the sequences is used only for transmission in said another known one of the time slots.
摘要:
It is presented a method performed in a first network node. The method comprises the steps of: receiving an uplink transmission from a mobile communication terminal; determining, based on content of the uplink transmission, information to be transmitted over a first communication channel when the content comprises control data intended for a second network node; transmitting the information over the first communication channel to the second network node when the information is to be transmitted over the first communication channel; and transmitting the information via a second communication channel, the second communication channel being physically separate from the first communication channel, when the information is not to be transmitted over the first communication channel. A corresponding network node is also presented.

A method in a radio network node for dynamic carrier mode switching is provided. The radio network node is comprised in a radio communications system. The radio network node is configured to operate in a legacy mode and is further configured to operate in a non legacy mode. At least one carrier is operated so that it switches (602) from non legacy mode to legacy mode. When operating the carrier in the legacy mode, the radio network node signals (603) with a user equipment. The user equipment operates in legacy mode, but can not operate in non legacy mode. The radio network node then operates the at least one carrier so that it switches (604) from legacy mode back to non legacy mode.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and arrangements in a base station and a user equipment for determining an uplink transmission timing correction for communication in a telecommunication system in which aggregation of component carriers is applied. The base station receives a signal from the user equipment on a uplink (UL) component carrier and measures the arrival time of the signal. A timing correction of the UL transmission timing based on the arrival time of the signal is determined. Thereupon the base station determines for which of the uplink component carriers used by the user equipment the timing correction is valid. The timing correction and the validity information is sent to the user equipment. The user equipment adjusts the UL transmission timing for each UL component carrier the timing correction is valid for.

The technology disclosed provides the ability for a subframe to be configured as a “flexible” subframe. As a result, at least three different types of subframes in a TDD system may be configured: a downlink (“DL”) subframe, an uplink (“UL”) subframe, and a “flexible” subframe. While the DL and UL subframes are preconfigured for each frame instance, the flexible subframes are dynamically allocated to be an uplink subframe in one instance of a frame and a downlink subframe in another instance of the frame.

The present invention relates to cellular radio communication and in particular to providing information on neighbor cells to enable terminals to perform neighbor cell measurements. In the prior art the terminal attempts to make neighbor cell measurements in a reference signal structure that is the same in the neighbor cell as in the cell the terminal camps in. The present invention is based on the insight that the reference signal structure may differ between neighboring cell for example in the situation of an MBSFN area that is restricted to a region of all cells of a radio network, or in the situation of TDD mode being applied there may be different regions with different allocation of sub-frames for transmission in the uplink and downlink directions. The present invention solves the problem by broadcast information in a cell indicative of the reference signal structure in neighbor cells.
摘要:
A network unit of an own cell is operated in a radio communication system utilizing a radio interface that includes a radio frame made up of a number of sub-frames. The own cell serves one or more user equipments. Operation includes obtaining information about a scheduling of MBSFN data transmissions in one or more neighboring cells. The information thereby obtained is used to generate an information signal that, for a given sub-frame, enables the one or more user equipments to determine whether neighboring cell measurements can be performed using a unicast group of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple access (OFDM) symbols. The information signal is transmitted to the one or more user equipments, which can then use the information to determine how to locate cell-specific reference symbols when doing measurements of neighboring cells.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of generating mutually orthogonal reference signals for different user terminals in and OFDM system that span different but overlapping subcarriers. The subcarriers allocated to the user terminals are divided into a plurality of non-overlapping subcarrier blocks. Each user terminal is then allocated one or more subcarrier blocks. For each subcarrier block, a user terminal is assigned a reference signal comprising a base reference sequence and a linear phase rotation. To ensure mutual orthogonality among all user terminals, user terminals allocated the same subcarrier block use the same base reference sequence with different linear phase rotations.
