Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting a cell shaping/un-shaping indication in a wireless communication system is provided. A first eNodeB (eNB) transmits a cell shaping/un-shaping indication which indicates cell shaping/un-shaping of a cell, managed by the first eNB, in an active antenna system (AAS) to a second eNB. The cell shaping means that main coverage of the cell is maintained unchanged but an edge of the cell can be adapted to load demand. The cell un-shaping means that coverage of the cell goes back to original coverage.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting cell load information in a wireless communication system is provided. A mobility management entity (MME) of an evolved UMTS terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) system receives cell load information of a cell in a universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) system, from a radio network controller (RNC) of the UMTS system, and transmits the received cell load information to a plurality of eNodeBs (eNBs) of the E-UTRAN system, respectively.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for forwarding data in a wireless communication system is provided. A small cell receives an indication which indicates stopping serving a small cell service from a macro eNodeB (eNB). Upon receiving the indication, the small cell starts to forward data to the macro eNB together with a sequence number (SN) status transfer message. The indication may be received via a form of a message or a form of an information element (IE) in a message.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting split availability of a cell in a wireless communication system is provided. A first eNodeB (eNB) may transmit a split availability of a first cell, managed by the first eNB, to neighbor eNBs. The split availability of the first cell may indicate whether the first cell supports cell split operation or not. Alternatively, the split availability of the first cell may indicate whether the first eNB supports an active antenna system (AAS).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method by which a base station transmits a signal for coverage coordination in a wireless communication system and a device for the same. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a coordinating base station receives coverage related information from each of a first base station and a second base station, performs a coverage coordination procedure by using the coverage related information of the first and second base stations and transmits a signal for coverage coordination, which is determined according to the result of performing the coverage coordination procedure, to each of the first and second base stations, wherein the coverage coordination procedure includes determining whether the second base station can supplement the coverage of the first base station when the first base station switches to an idle mode.

Abstract:
A method for transmitting, by a first base station, coverage modification information in a wireless communication system is discussed. The method includes transmitting, by the first base station, the coverage modification information which informs a second base station that modifying a cell managed by the first base station is planned, to the second base station, and after the first base station transmits the coverage modification information to the second base station, modifying, by the first base station, the cell managed by the first base station.
Abstract:
A method for performing a handover procedure in a wireless communication system is provided. A first eNodeB (eNB) of a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) long term evolution (LTE) system receives information on an access point (AP) of a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, which is located at neighborhood of a second eNB, to which data of the first eNB can be offloaded, from a user equipment (UE) or a second eNB, and decides whether to handover the UE to the second eNB based on the received information on the AP.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting cell load information in a wireless communication system is provided. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a master eNodeB (eNB) distributes UMTS terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN) cell load response to slave eNBs. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the master eNB aggregates evolved UTRAN (E-UTRAN) cell load response of slave eNBs to a radio network controller (RNC).
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting an indication in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives an indication, which indicates whether a cell served by an eNodeB (eNB) is a normal cell or a split cell, from the eNB, and transmits the received indication to a serving eNB of the UE.
