摘要： The object of the present invention is to reduce interference and power consumption of a repeater operated in a wireless communication network. According to the present invention this object is achieved by a self-optimizing repeater (10) for use in a wireless communication network using predetermined carrier communication resources per cell. The self-optimizing repeater (10) comprises an amplifier (12) adapted to amplify a first subset of communication resources selected from, the carrier communication resources, a monitoring unit (14) adapted to monitor traffic load on the first subset of communication resources, and an adjustment unit (16) adapted to adjust the first subset of communication resources as a function of the monitored traffic load. The operation of the self-optimizing repeater is fully transparent and no control signaling is necessary to control the self-optimizing repeater.

摘要： A method for cell selection comprises obtaining of user equipment specific information for a user equipment that is present in a first cell of a first base station. The user equipment specific information comprises information of a prevailing radio situation and information of a present decoding performance. A present capability of the user equipment for handling increased interference and a measure of a cell selection offset required to cover the user equipment by a second cell is estimated from the user equipment specific information. It is decided on modifying a cell selection offset for handover between the first cell and the second cell, in dependence on the estimated present capability of the user equipment for handling increased interference and the cell selection offset required to cover the user equipment by the second cell.

摘要： The present invention relates to a method and a transceiver device in a wireless communication system that enable tuning of the polarization generated by a cross-polarized transmitting antenna configuration of an eNB. This is addressed by a solution where the polarization is adjusted (320) based on a quality indicator e.g. received (310) from one or more UEs. The quality indicator indicates the quality of the communication between the eNB and the UEs, and is used to determine if the adjustment of the antenna configuration is improving the quality of the communication or not. The tuning is thus an iteration (330) of the steps of adjusting (320) the polarization and of receiving (310) the quality indicator, and when the quality indicator has reached a pre-determined value, the iteration is stopped.

摘要： A method is disclosed for use in a heterogeneous telecommunications system of the kind comprising a macro base station and a low-power base station, the low-power base station having a coverage which is extendible by range expansion, RE, to serve a user equipment which would otherwise have been served by the macro base station. According to the method, which is performed in either of the macro base station or the low-power base station, information about radio conditions of the user equipment at least with respect to the macro base station is obtained (310). Based on the obtained information, it is determined (320) whether a criterion for conditional range expansion is satisfied, said criterion being related to the uplink transmission power of the user equipment to the macro base station. Accordingly, range expansion is applied (330) for the user equipment only when the criterion is satisfied. A corresponding base station, telecommunications system and computer readable storage medium are also disclosed.

Each antenna function is arranged to cover a corresponding sector area, the sector areas being positioned around the central point successively such that each sector area is adjacent to at least one other sector area separated by corresponding borders. The polarization of at least one of said antenna functions is variable between the borders of the corresponding sector area such that for each border, the polarizations of the antenna functions at each side of the border are essentially orthogonal at the border. The present invention also relates to a corresponding wireless communication system and corresponding antenna functions.
