Abstract: A method includes estimating an uplink channel for a terminal device, based on an amount of antennas used by an access node for transmitting signals to the terminal device, antennas used for receiving the transmitted signals at the terminal device, and sub-bands used for transmitting the signals. Based on the estimation, a channel covariance matrix is determined for a precoder comprised in a transmitter of the access node by determining a limited number of elements of a full dimensional channel covariance matrix, which is different than the channel covariance matrix. The limited number of elements are elements corresponding to i-th row and j-th column of the channel covariance. Correlation computation is performed for the limited number of elements. Elements of the full-dimensional channel covariance matrix that are excluded from the limited number of elements are determined and set to be zero. Precoding is performed using the determined channel covariance matrix.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for realizing dynamic point selection improve the cell-edge throughput and geometric mean of release 8/9 UEs. The method comprises a step of receiving estimated channel quality reported by all the TPs in the CoMP set, a step of switching the serving TP for the UEs based on the estimated channel quality and/or cell load, a step of forwarding the scheduled data from the primary TP to the serving TP, a step of separately transmitting PDCCH to the UEs by the primary TP and transmitting PDSCH to the UEs by the serving TP. the implementation of the method and apparatus improves the cell-edge throughput and geometric mean of UE throughput by serving UEs instantaneously from the cell that provides better throughput accounting for fast time-scale channel fluctuations and/or load. It helps in reducing interference due to data getting drained faster when users are served from cells with better channel conditions.

Abstract: A solution for allocating N radio beam configurations to access nodes including, in some embodiments, a method comprising storing a beam library defining a set of radio beam configurations for a coverage area. A coverage area is divided into sub-areas, and a set of channel quality metrics is collected, as is a traffic density parameter for each sub-area. The following steps are performed: selecting N radio beam configurations from the set of radio beam configurations; mapping each sub-area with one of the selected N radio beam configurations; computing a service performance for the selected N radio beam configurations; the service performance is weighted by the traffic density parameters. The service performance are stored as linked to each radio beam configuration of the selected N radio beam configurations. Based on the stored service performances, a set of N radio beam configurations is selected and the N radio beam configurations are allocated.

Abstract: Methods and Systems are disclosed for allocating a time-frequency resource of a large cell base station either to a selected first user equipment associated with the base station, or to a selected self-backhaul link associated with a small cell within the coverage area of the large cell base station. In embodiments, data is provided representing target allocation proportions of the time-frequency resource, for each of the first user equipment(s) and the one or more backhaul link(s). Allocations are made, for each of a series of time units or intervals, either to a selected first user equipment or backhaul link based on the target data.

Abstract: This document discloses a solution for selecting a transmission direction in a cell. A method comprises: determining, by a controller associated with a cell of a cellular communication system, a traffic asymmetry metric for the cell, the traffic asymmetry metric representing asymmetry between uplink and downlink traffic in the cell; comparing, by the controller, the traffic asymmetry metric with a threshold; upon determining, by the controller on the basis of the comparison, that the traffic asymmetry metric is one of greater and lower than the threshold, selecting a first transmission direction for a time interval; upon determining, by the controller on the basis of the comparison, that the traffic asymmetry metric is the other one of greater and lower than the threshold, selecting for the time interval a second transmission direction different from the first transmission direction, wherein the second transmission direction is a nominal transmission direction determined as common to a cell cluster comprising the cell and a set of neighboring cells, and wherein the controller determines the nominal transmission direction on the basis of traffic condition metrics acquired for the cell and for the set of neighboring cells; and causing data communication to the selected transmission direction in the cell during the time interval.
