There are provided measures for a cell reconfiguration, more specifically a cell reconfiguration in a relay-enhanced network environment. Such measures exemplarily include recognizing a decision on a change of a configuration of a base station, informing a user equipment served by the base station in view of a forthcoming change of the configuration before the configuration of the base station is changed, and providing the user equipment being served by the base station with a synchronization signal indicating a new configuration after the configuration of the base station is changed from an old configuration to the new configuration.

There are provided measures for a cell reconfiguration, more specifically a cell reconfiguration in a relay-enhanced network environment. Such measures exemplarily include recognizing a decision on a change of a configuration of a base station, informing a user equipment served by the base station due to a forthcoming change of at least one of a manipulated synchronization failure value or a manipulated radio link failure value before the configuration of the base station is changed, and providing the user equipment being served by the base station with a synchronization signal indicating a new configuration after the configuration of the base station is changed from an old configuration to the new configuration.

The present invention proposes methods and devices to further improve relay systems operating on the basis of carrier aggregation on the access as well as on the backhaul link Under an aspect of such approach, there is proposed a relay node as a device, comprising a transceiver device, configured to communicate via a first interface with a terminal and via a second interface with a remote network device, wherein communication via the first and/or second interface is configured to operate based on aggregation of plural individual component carriers, and a control device, configured to perform, per component carrier: detection of a change concerning a component carrier on the first interface, sending, responsive thereto, of update information pertaining to at least the first interface towards the remote network device, reception of reconfiguration instructions, implied by the detected change, to be applied on the first interface, and initiation of reconfiguration of the first interface based on the received instructions. Similar approach is applied to a donor eNB as well as to corresponding methods and computer program products.
摘要:
An access node of a radio access network of a cellular communication system obtains first configuration information for at least one relay node which is capable of being wirelessly connected to the radio access network via the access node and is associated with the access node, wherein the first configuration information includes information on an interface between the access node and the at least one relay node, and transmits the first configuration information to at least one other access node of the radio access network. Alternatively or in addition, the access node receives second configuration information from the at least one other access node, for at least one other relay node which is capable of being wirelessly connected to the radio access network via the at least one other access node and is associated with the at least one other access node, wherein the second configuration information includes information on an interface between the at least one other access node and the at least one other relay node.
