Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for operating a base station (11) in a wireless radio network (10). The base station (11) comprises a plurality of antennas for transmitting radio frequency signals between the base station (11) and a user equipment (UE1, UE2). According to the method, at each antenna (12) a training signal sent from the user equipment (UE1, UE2) is received and for each antenna (12) a corresponding configuration parameter is determined based on the training signal. A plurality of payload information blocks (33) is transmitted between the base station (11) and the user equipment (UE1, UE2) using the determined configuration parameters and a predetermined transmission scheme. For at least one payload information block (33) a transmission quality parameter is determined and an adapted transmission scheme is determined based on the determined quality parameter.

Abstract:
A mobile communication network comprises a first cell (200) and a second cell (210, 220, 230, 240) arranged in a coverage area of the first cell (200). A node (100) of the mobile communication network obtains positioning data of a UE (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16). The node (100) correlates the positioning data to a coverage area of the second cell (210, 220, 230, 240). Depending on the correlation of the positioning data and the coverage area of the second cell (210, 220, 230, 240), the node (100) selects between an active state and an inactive state of the second cell (210, 220, 230, 240). In accordance with the selected state, the node controls a base station of the second cell (210, 220, 230, 240).
