Abstract:
The method comprises a LTE cellular base station reporting radio resources usage information about its resource assignment in a current LTE frame emitted or to be emitted thereby, regarding slot usage for at least the slots of the downlink subframes of the current LTE frame, and generally also regarding the slots of subsequent downlink subframes and of also regarding uplink subframes. The uses of the method are for interference reduction and for energy optimization.
Abstract:
A method, system and computer program for inter-working between different wireless technologies. The method including connecting a base station wirelessly connected to a mobile terminal, both complying with standardized wireless radio access technology, with a MME and/or a SGW of the EPC of the 3GPP standard by a NAS function included in the base station. The NAS function collecting a MAC address of the mobile terminal and generating an IMSI identity based on the collecting; providing the generated IMSI to the MME and storing it together with a set of parameters and algorithms; performing, with the MME or with a HSS an authentication and ciphering procedure of the mobile terminal using the stored set of parameters and algorithms, and performing the termination of the NAS protocol messages with the MME for management procedures related with the mobile terminal, the wireless radio access technology and the 3GPP standard being different technologies.
Abstract:
The method, comprising at least one user terminal (UE) communicating through a wireless connection to a macro cellular base station, abbreviated as eNB, and to a at least one femto cellular base station, abbreviated as HeNB, over a cellular system, wherein said method comprises providing a wireless X2 interface between said eNB and HeNB stations in said LTE network to provide communication services to said at least one user terminal.The system of the invention is arranged to implement the method of the invention.
Abstract:
The method providing by a plurality of eNodeB wireless mobile connectivity to a plurality of User Equipment (UE) and aggregating by means of a node running in non-3GPP network, backhaul load information related to the access line of said plurality of eNodeB or any other remote equipment. The method also, retrieving by a Proxy Serving Gateway (Proxy S-GW) located in said non-3GPP node, said backhaul load information from said non-3GPP node of said plurality of eNodeB; then, communicating said Proxy S-GW with a Service Gateway (S-GW) pertaining to a 3GPP network by means of a standard S1 interface; and finally sending to said S-GW said backhaul load information through said standard S1 interface in order to assign radio resources to said plurality of eNodeB.The system is adapted for implementing the method of the invention.

Abstract:
A method for cell reselection and cell handover in a wireless communication systemThe method comprises: a user equipment measuring its proximity to one or more cells, or radio access nodes, by detecting the signal emission power thereof, and recognizing some cells as distinctive cells which radio section can be switched off when no user equipment is camping in it; determining that at least one of said cells is candidate for cell reselection or handover as a function of said signal emission power, and, if the cell is a distinctive cell, directly determining it as a candidate cell even if its signal emission power is not detected; and performing the cell reselection or handover between the user equipment and the candidate cell.
Abstract:
A method to optimize almost blank subframe usage in a wireless network including generating, an interfering base station, in order to minimize interference caused to a serving base station, an almost blank subframe pattern and sending the latter to the serving base station. The serving base station generating a set of preferred almost blank subframes, from said received almost blank subframe pattern, that their knows will be of use for providing a wireless connectivity to a user terminal, and sending the preferred almost blank subframes ordered by a priority of usage to said interfering base station. And the interfering base station, using, in the case of requiring the use of additional subframes for serving its own user terminals, the almost blank subframes indicated as low priority in said received set of preferred almost blank subframes from the serving base station.
