Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for autonomously detecting whether a reference signal within an OFDM signal transmitted by a remote transmitter is or is not muted for a given transmission time. Muting or puncturing may be applied to all or only a portion of the reference signal. The method, which may be carried out in an appropriately configured radio apparatus, includes receiving the OFDM signal and calculating a first comparison metric from signal samples of the OFDM signal corresponding to a first set of resource elements of the OFDM signal, and calculating a second comparison metric from signal samples of the OFDM signal corresponding to a second set of resource elements of the OFDM signal. The method continues with determining whether the reference signal is or is not muted for the given transmission time, by comparing the first and second comparison metrics, and foregoing or performing reference signal measurements responsive to determining that the reference signal is or is not muted.

Abstract: In its various aspects, the present invention addresses the many challenges associated with making timing measurements involving multifarious radio links. Such measurements are referred to herein as “enhanced” to connote that such timing determinations are being made across multifarious radio links. Here, a radio link will be understood as connecting two radio nodes, and two radio links are considered to be multifarious with respect to each other if they are opposite in terms of uplink and downlink transmit directions, and further if they are associated with different cell identifiers and/or if the two links are between different pairs of radio nodes. In this context, the teachings herein disclose the sharing of “enhanced timing measurement” capability information, e.g., between radio nodes and positioning nodes. Such information indicates the enhanced timing measurement capability of a radio node. Sharing such information enables another node, e.g., a positioning node, to determine an enhanced timing measurement configuration to be used by a radio node. Further, additional teachings herein disclose advantageous configurations for making enhanced timing measurements, and techniques for compensating timing measurements determined from multifarious radio links, e.g., compensating for frequency-dependent propagation time differences.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, a base station and an interface for handover in a wireless communication network. Handover is initiated when the signal quality falls below a predetermined value. Random access serves as an uplink procedure to enable the UE to make handover from a first base station (eNodeB) to a suitable second base station (eNodeB). In the present invention, random access parameters are exchanged between second and first base station before said first base station signals said random access parameters to said user equipment.

Abstract: A method of supporting frequency-selective repeaters (eNodeRs) in a wireless telecommunication system. A base station (eNodeB) classifies User Equipments (UEs) into two categories or lists of users: a white list containing UEs that may need the assistance of repeaters, and a black list containing UEs that do not need repeater assistance. The eNodeB transmits one of these two lists to the eNodeRs. The eNodeRs do not amplify resource blocks (RBs) scheduled for black list UEs. Each repeater may decide on its own whether to amplify signals for a non-black list UE by measuring signals from the UE and comparing them with predefined criteria.

Abstract translation: 一种在无线电信系统中支持频率选择中继器（eNode-RR）的方法。 基站（eNodeB）将用户设备（UE）分为两类或用户列表：包含可能需要中继器协助的UE的白名单，以及包含不需要中继器协助的UE的黑名单。 eNodeB将这两个列表中的一个发送到eNodeR。 eNodeR不放大为黑名单UE调度的资源块（RB）。 每个中继器可以自己决定是否通过测量来自UE的信号并将其与预定标准进行比较来放大非黑名单UE的信号。

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of globally balancing the transmit power in a cellular radio system with tight reuse of frequencies, to a central controller node, and to an access point that in combination with conventional power control schemes balances the downlink transmission power on reused frequencies in order to balance co-channel interference in a multi-cell environment. The power balancing scheme dynamically assigns a token to or takes a token away from an individual reused radio channel based on quality of, or based on transmission power in the channel. A token, if taken away from the channel, inhibits conventional power control thereby freezing the transmission power in the channel on its current power level. A token, if assigned or re-assigned to channel, re-assumes conventional power control thereby allowing dynamic variation of the transmission power in the channel in accordance with the conventional power control.

Abstract: A user equipment, UE, (14) and a radio network node (12) can perform multiple input multiple output, MIMO, communication. The UE determines a precoder (50, 54) used in the radio network node for transmitting signals from multiple transmit antennas to the UE. Based on the determined precoder used, the UE determines receiver parameters (22, 60A, 60B) for receiving MIMO signals from the radio network node, and configures the UE to receive MIMO signals from the radio network node in accordance with the determined receiver parameters. The radio network node may provide information for transmission to the UE indicating the precoder used in the radio network node to permit the UE to determine a receiver configuration for receiving MIMO signals based on the determined precoder used by the radio network node.

Abstract: Techniques for using user equipment, UE, activity information, e.g., by a network node in a communications network are described. The network node can obtain the UE activity information, i.e., information associated with at least one of transmission activity and reception activity for a UE, and then use the UE activity information to configure a positioning function. Some examples of the positioning function are positioning method selection, measurement configuration and assistance data provisioning, reserving positioning resources, stopping the positioning session, delaying handover of the UE, deciding on a position session organization such as number of parallel measurements to be performed, and estimating an impact on battery lifetime.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) performs measurements on a serving cell and at least one neighbor cell in a heterogeneous wireless communications network that includes one or more higher power radio network nodes operating near one or more lower power radio network nodes. The UE acquires enhanced neighbor cell information (eNCI) including at least subframe information and determines an allowed set of one or more subframes during which the UE may make downlink and/or uplink measurements for at least one cell in the heterogeneous network. A network node in the heterogeneous network generates the eNCI, from which the UE may determine the allowed set of radio transmission subframes, and provides the eNCI for the UE to coordinate the UE measurements on the at least one cell during one or more of the allowed subframes.
