    摘要: A system obtains geographic positions associated with location points of multiple user equipments (UEs) in a wireless network and receives Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) radio fingerprint data associated with radio measurements performed at the location points by the multiple UE or performed by eNodeBs associated with the multiple UEs. The system clusters the location points based on similarities between the E-UTRAN radio fingerprint data to create cluster boundaries and stores the geographic positions, cluster boundaries and the E-UTRAN radio fingerprint data in a database for future determination of UE geographic positions using the E-UTRAN radio fingerprint data. The system receives E-UTRAN radio fingerprint measurement data associated with a first UE in the wireless network and performs a lookup operation into the database to retrieve one of the geographic positions that corresponds to the E-UTRAN radio fingerprint measurement data. The system sends the one of the geographic positions to at least one of the first UE, an emergency or police call center, a geographic information system (GIS) server or a node external to the wireless network.

    摘要: A method for reporting positioning data from a node B in a cellular communication system comprises performing (210), in a node B, of a measurement of a time of radio signal propagation concerning signalling with a first user equipment within a coverage of the node B. The measurement gives a time value. The time value is coded (212), in the node B, as a multi-symbol time report sequence. Auxiliary positioning information data concerning the first user equipment is obtained (214) in the node B. At least one symbol of the multi-symbol time report sequence is modified (216) (218) in the node B, for representing the auxiliary positioning information data. The modified multi-symbol time report sequence is reported from the node B. A positioning method, a node B and a positioning node are also disclosed.

    摘要: Embodiments herein relate to a method in a radio network node (12) for enabling management of radio resources in a radio communications network, which radio network node (12) serves a first cell (11). The radio network node measures a received total power value at the radio network node (12) in the first cell (11). The radio network node (12) computes a factor indicating a load in the first cell (11). The radio network node (12) estimates a noise floor level in the first cell (11). The radio network node (12) computes a utilization probability value of the load in the first cell (11) and a neighbor cell interference value simultaneously in a non-linear interference model. This is based on the measured received total power value, the computed factor, and the estimated noise floor level in the first cell (11), which neighbor cell interference value is an interference from at least one second cell (14) affecting said first cell (11), and where at least one of the utilization probability value of the load in the first cell (11) and the neighbor cell interference value is to be used for managing radio resources in the radio communications network.

    摘要: A method for noise rise estimation in a wireless communication system comprises measuring of received total wideband power a plurality of times and computing an estimate of a noise floor measure based on a number of the measured received total wideband powers. An interference whitening is performed based on one of GRAKE, GRAKE−and chip equalizer. A useful signal power for the first user after interference whitening is determined. A first user noise floor compensation factor is derived based on combining weights for the first user used in the interference whitening. A code power to interference ratio measure for said first user is obtained. A noise rise measure is calculated, based at least on the useful signal power for the first user after interference whitening, the first user noise floor compensation factor, the code power to interference ratio measure for the first user and the noise floor measure.

    摘要: The present invention provides methods and arrangements 300 which are configured to determine a noise rise estimates in a radio access node of a Radio Network System 100 supporting Multi-Carrier High-Speed Packet Access transmission of user radio traffic between a radio access node and one or more User Equipments. The arrangement is provided with a combiner combining the estimated thermal noise power floors of all carriers of a set of carriers sharing the same antenna branch, into a single thermal noise power floor estimate, valid for all carriers in said set of carriers sharing the same analogue signal path. A noise rise determiner computes noise rise estimates as a quotient of the momentary received total wideband power of a carrier related to an analogue signal path, and said combined thermal noise power floor for said analogue signal path.

    摘要: Mobile broadband traffic has been exploding in wireless networks resulting in an increase of interferences and reduced operator control. Networks are also becoming more heterogeneous putting additional demand in interference management. Scheduler schedules uplink transmissions from UEs based on a load prediction algorithm that typically assumes worst case. However, UEs do not always use full power granted, and thus, much of granted radio resources are wasted. To address these and other issues, technique(s) to accurately predict/estimate other cell interferences and thermal noise separately and to accurately predict/estimate load utilization probability and variance is(are) described. Inventive estimation technique(s) can be used to schedule UEs to more fully utilize available radio resources. Extended Kalman filtering can be adapted for use in estimation providing low order computational complexity.
