Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method (300) for operating a user equipment (106) in a wireless radio network (100). The wireless radio network (100) comprises a base station (101) and at least one node (105) configured to relay communication data between the user equipment (106) and the base station (101). According to the method, a relayed communication state is determined (301) and a measurement of characteristics of further direct radio transmission links between the user equipment (106) and the wireless radio network (100) is initiated (302) depending on the relayed communication state.

Abstract:
A mobile communications terminal with plural antennas for uplink communications with a network base station in a cell, uses an adaptive antenna selection algorithm to select antennas. A method of operating a mobile communications terminal. The cell operator or base station provides parameters and/or settings to the terminal to determine algorithm behavior in selecting antennas, for example, according to operative characteristics of signals in uplink communications in the network, operation of the terminal, and/or network conditions. A communications method includes sending from a base station one or more parameters and/or settings for a terminal to select which of plural antennas of the terminal to use transmitting signals to the base station. A base station transmits to terminals one or more such parameters and/or settings for use in the adaptive antenna selection algorithm to select antennas for transmitting signals to the base station.

Abstract:
A communication device receives data transmissions from a data transmitter. The communication device monitors at least one quality indicator indicative of a quality of service of the data transmissions and/or of a link quality. The monitoring is performed at an application layer of the communication device. An application executed on the application layer of the communication device generates at least one power control message as a function of the monitored at least one quality indicator and transmits the at least one power control message to the data transmitter.
