    Abstract: A radio base station generates a congestion status flag, based on measured resource usage in its cell, and based on performance of sessions in the cell. The flag may be a one bit, or a small number of bits, indicating whether the base station is congested. The flag can be sent to neighboring radio base stations, for use in determining whether to perform handovers to that radio base station. The flag generated in a radio base station, and the flags generated in neighboring radio base stations, can also be sent to user equipment in a cell.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for scheduling link resources in a wireless communication system are disclosed. In an exemplary method, a first scheduling policy vector, or SPV, is generated, the SPV including scheduling elements that prescribe a probability of use for each of several corresponding quantities of link resources. In some embodiments the link resources are LTE resource blocks. The SPV is transmitted to a mobile terminal for use in determining a quantity of link resource units to be scheduled in at least a first transmission time interval. The SPV may be transmitted along with a scheduling window parameter that specifies a period of applicability for SPV.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a user equipment and a network node, and to related methods of supporting resource efficient ad hoc networking between user equipments (UEs) of a cellular network. This is addressed by a solution where the network node is supporting the ad hoc networking between UEs. The network node is capable of 5 accessing a user equipment capability database and receives (210, 220) update messages from UEs (UE1, UE2) comprising information regarding the capabilities of the user equipments such as supported frequency bands, RATs and antenna modes. The network node updates (230) the user equipment capability database (DB) with the information comprised in the received update message, and determines based on the 10 information stored in the user equipment capability database and a matching algorithm (240), that UE1 and UE2 have matching capabilities and are able to communicate wirelessly. The network node then transmits (250) an ad hoc “paging” message comprising the UE1 and UE2 identities. The “paging” message is received by the UE1 and UE2 identified in the “paging” message, and UE1 may then e.g. establish an ad hoc 15 network with UE2 (260).

    Abstract: A node of a multi-radio access technology (RAT) system acquires resource status information associated with each RAT of the multi-RAT system. The resource status information of the RATs of the multi-RAT system can be acquired by sniffing higher layer protocol information pertaining to call setup requests and/or call terminated messages. The node further maintains a flag representing overall resource availability associated with the RATs of the multi-RAT system, based on the acquired resource status information, for use in admission control and/or load balancing. The flag is associated with a pre-defined set of overall resource availability states of the multi-RAT system, where the availability states are defined in terms of admission control decisions. The availability states comprise at least one of the following admission control decisions: i) unconditional acceptance of all services; ii) conditional acceptance of broadband guaranteed bit rate (GBR) services and unconditional acceptance of all other services; iii) conditional acceptance of broadband GBR services, conditional acceptance of narrowband GBR services, and unconditional acceptance of other services; or iv) unconditional rejection of all services.
