Abstract:
A radio network resource controller directs a first network node associated with a first cell region, or a wireless terminal in communication through the first cell region, to measure and report radio resource-related data selected from the group consisting of: resource activity per channel; the number of transmitted power samples that exceed a threshold over a measurement period; and, channel quality samples that exceed a quality threshold. The controller then receives at least one measurement report of the radio resource-related data and, as a function of the radio resource-related data in the first cell region, dynamically reallocates the distribution of resources, such as radio-frequency channels, between the first cell region and at least a second cell region. The invention has a particular advantage in TDD mode of operation where efficient and dynamic interference mitigation is needed to combat the inherent mobile-to-mobile and base station-to-base station interference.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method, arrangement and computer-readable medium for optimizing code utilization in a code division multiple access (CDMA) communication network comprising a first communication network entity (10), a second communication network entity (15) connected to said first communication network entity over a communication interface and one or more user equipments (18) transmitting data using a scrambling code to said second communication network entity (15) over a radio interface on an uplink channel (14). Firstly, in what type of radio environment said one or more user equipments are is identified. Secondly, a traffic activity over the radio interface is measured. Thereafter, when and how to use a secondary scrambling code is determined based on the type of radio environment and traffic activity.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method in a radio network node of a cellular network, for controlling admission of a UE in a cell covering a region. The method comprises obtaining (710) a location of the UE, comparing (720) information related to a geometric boundary of the region and the obtained location of the UE, and determining (730) whether to admit the UE in the cell based on the comparison.
Abstract:
Processing implemented by a method and apparatus herein advantageously improves the quality of measurements performed by a wireless device (36), by ensuring that the device (36) measures its serving cell over at least as large of a bandwidth as the bandwidth over which it measures neighbor cells. Such processing specifically includes identifying, for each of a plurality of neighbor cells, a measurement bandwidth over which the wireless device (36) is to perform measurements of that cell. Processing then entails selectively initiating handover of the wireless device (36) from a serving cell to one of the neighbor cells, depending on how many of those neighbor cells have a measurement bandwidth larger than that of the serving cell. Thus, contrasted with traditional performance-based handovers that are conducted based on the strength of already made reference signal measurements, handover herein is performed based on the bandwidth(s) over which such measurements will be performed in the future.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) performs measurements on a serving cell and at least one neighbor cell in a heterogeneous wireless communications network that includes one or more higher power radio network nodes operating near one or more lower power radio network nodes. The UE acquires enhanced neighbor cell information (eNCI) including at least subframe information and determines an allowed set of one or more subframes during which the UE may make downlink and/or uplink measurements for at least one cell in the heterogeneous network. A network node in the heterogeneous network generates the eNCI, from which the UE may determine the allowed set of radio transmission subframes, and provides the eNCI for the UE to coordinate the UE measurements on the at least one cell during one or more of the allowed subframes.
Abstract:
A method in a user equipment (140) for assisting a first radio network node (110) in selection of one or more mobility parameters, a method in the first radio network node (110) for selecting one or more mobility parameters and a user equipment (140) and a first radio network node (110) configured to perform the methods are provided. The user equipment (140) sends (C001) an indication of a second part of a first operating frequency band to the first radio network node (110). The first radio network node (110) selects (C004) said one or more mobility parameters based on the received indication of the second part of the first operating frequency band. The user equipment (140) receives (C005) and applies (C006) said one or more mobility parameters from the first radio network node (110).
