A method for use in a cellular system comprising a plurality of base stations with corresponding cells, in which system the communication between users in a cell and the base station is divided into an up link period and a down link period, the method comprising letting a controlling node instruct the base stations regarding: a first point in time when the base station should start transmitting a control signal; a second point in time when the base station should start to listen for control signals from other base stations and measure their time of arrival and signal strength; a third point in time when the base station should cease listening for control signal; and a fourth point in time when the base station should transmit the measurements results to a receiving node in the system.

The present invention relates to frequency hopping in wireless communication systems utilizing single-carriers with varying bandwidth. Frequency hopping is made possible by dividing the available bandwidth, associated to the available frequency spectrum, in a leveled structure, a bandwidth tree. By the use of a frequency hopping tree, which has the same structure as the bandwidth tree and wherein each leaf represent a hopping sequence, a frequency hopping scheme is determined. Orthogonality in-between the frequency hopping schemes for different users is ensured by letting a users hopping sequence value at a level n, be dependent on the hopping sequence value associated to the same branch structure on the adjacent level closer to the root of the tree, n−1, and an input sequence associated with the level n.

The present invention increases the interference diversity in systems with the frame structure described above by using frequency hopping sequences that are selected considering characteristics of the channel relating to how the channel varies. According to a first embodiment, the channel characteristics relate to channel coherence time and according to a second embodiment, the channel characteristics relate to channel coherence bandwidth. For channels with long coherence times, the transmission hops back and forth several times during a TTI on the different available frequencies. For channels with widecoherence bandwidths, hopping may be performed between the frequency used by the reference signals and its neighbor frequencies. For channels with both long coherence times and widecoherence bandwidths, a combination may be used.

The invention discloses a method (1100) for a cellular wireless access TDD system (100) with a base stations (120, 220) for respective cells (110, 210) in the system, where each cell can accommodate at least a first user terminal (130, 230). The user terminals can receive traffic from their base stations during a down link period, and can transmit traffic to their base stations (120, 220) during an up link period (UL). There is a first guard period (TDu) at the transition from down link to up link, and a second guard period (TUD) at the transition from up link to down link. The method comprises measuring the interference level in a second plurality (110, 210) of cells during part of the time between two consecutive down link periods, and varying the duration of said first and/or second guard period in said second plurality of cells (110, 210) according to the interference level.

A method of selecting at least one communication link in a wireless communication network is proposed, comprising the steps of transmitting from at least one transmitting node in the network a pilot signal from each of at least two transmitter antennas of the transmitting node, receiving the pilot signals from the at least two transmitter antennas in a receiving terminal, estimating, in the terminal, a covariance matrix of the channel, based on the pilot signals received, determining the pathloss for each antenna based on the covariance matrix, selecting one of at least two possible links for the communication between the terminal and the transmitting nodes. The terminal is enabled to measure on each transmitter antenna individually, which provides a better tool for link selection and cell selection.

A mobile station for a TD—CDMA cellular system includes means for maintaining a list of intracell interferers to the mobile station. Further means (14, 16) detect intercell interferers to the mobile station by using handover related information available in the mobile station. Detected intercell interferers that fulfil a predetermined selection criterion are added to the list of interferers. Means (12) are provided for performing interference cancellation for all interferers, both intracell and intercell, in the list with a joint detection algorithm.
摘要:
Variable bandwidth assignment and frequency hopping are employed to make efficient use of radio resources. Variable bandwidth assignment is achieved by dynamically allocating different numbers of subcarriers to different mobile terminals depending on their instantaneous channel conditions. The frequency hopping patterns are determined “on-the-fly” based on the current bandwidth assignments. The bandwidth assignments and frequency hopping patterns are signaled to the mobile terminals in a scheduling grant.

An estimate of a cost of allocating radio resources available for allocation to a at least one radio link within a cell is generated in dependency of which radio resources have been used within the cell at previous times. This cost estimate can be compared to a quality gain of allocating the radio resources to the radio link, and an allocation decision can be made in dependency of the comparison result.

The present invention relates to a scheduler selector and a method for improving network quality by controlling intercellular interference of a multi-cellular mobile radio communication network. The radio communication traffic is controlled by a user traffic scheduler principle. The network quality is improved by selecting another scheduling principle among a number of pre-defined and selectable scheduling principles than the scheduling principle working for the moment in a cell in said network. Said selection being initiated as a result of an intracellular Quality data processing wherein the network quality is determined to be possible to improve.
