    摘要: A network node (110) and a method therein for managing radio, resources are disclosed. The radio resources are dedicated for beacon (121, 122) signaling, fey a first device; (131) and a second device (132), in conjunction with device-to-device, “D2D”, discovery. The first device: (131) is stationary and the second device (132) is non-stationary. The network node (110) selects (202) a first and a second set of radio resources out of the radio resources. The first arid second sets are dedicated for beacon signaling by the first device (131) and the second device (132), respectively. The first set of radio resources Is non-overlapping with the second set of radio resources. Then the network node (110) schedules (203) a specific radio resource of the first set of radio resources to the first device (131). Next, the network node (110) sends (204) information about the scheduled specific radio resource to the first device (131). The network node (110) further sends (205) information about the second set of radio resources to the second device (132). In this manner, the second device (132) restricts Us radio resources usable for beacon signaling to the second set of radio resources.

    摘要: The invention is directed towards determining an access node (14, 16) for a terminal (18) in a network (10) having one or more access nodes capable of providing access to the terminal based on one or more access technologies. Access node is selected through determining whether at least one network parameter provided by a network node (12, 14, 16) is required as input for the access node selection for the terminal. If it is determined that the at least one network parameter is required as input, the network parameter is obtained and an access node possibly together with access type for the terminal is selected at least based on said network parameter.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the technical field of dynamic spectrum access. Synchronization of quiet periods for spectrum sensing can significantly benefit sharing of available secondary access spectrum between two or more wireless communication systems in the same geographic region. The object of the present invention is to provide a methodology by which quiet periods can be synchronized in time between different secondary access wireless communication systems. Quiet Period Clients (QPC) of secondary access wireless communication systems are adapted to send requests to a Quiet Period Server (QPS) to obtain a quiet period rule set. The QPC receives from the QPS an answer specifying the quiet period rule set, and optional quiet period synchronization information. The systems perform their transmissions in accordance with the received rules.

    摘要: In a radio system where wireless nodes are in contact, the wireless nodes are enabled to exchange information with adjacent nodes. In addition, in one embodiment distant nodes out of range for direct communication can be communicated with by forwarding data over multiple hops. When a user, in particular a primary user, is detected by a node, a spectrum access blocking message is sent, to other nodes in the vicinity of the node thereby enabling blocking of the radio resource in a geographical area in which the other usage is detected. This means that the radio resource is blocked in that area from being accessed by other users than the primary user. The blocking message can be distributed in any suitable manner and can be tailored for the application at hand.
