摘要:
The invention discloses a method (800) for use in a cellular wireless system (100) with a base station (120), a cell (110) in the system and a first user terminal (130) which can be scheduled for receiving traffic from the base station during a down link period, and for transmitting traffic to the base station during an up link period. There is a first guard period (TUD) between the up link period and the down link period, and a second guard period (TDU) between the down link period and the up link period. The method (800) comprises measuring the interference level in the cell for part of the time between two consecutive down link periods, and varying at least one of the following in accordance with the measured interference level: the duration of the first or second guard period, the duration of the up link period, or the traffic sent in the up link period.

A method in a base station is provided for reducing distortion of an uplink signal received in a receiver part (20) of the base station, said distortion being caused by intermodulation, IM, products. The method comprises: generating (106), from a transmitter source signal, a modeled signal of IM components, as nth order IM components of the transmitter source signal, n being an integer value of 2, 3, 4 and/or 5 etc., and detecting (110) IM products of the received uplink signal, the received uplink signal comprising UL traffic components and the IM products, by correlating the received uplink signal with the IM components of the modeled signal. The method further comprises producing (112) a cancellation signal based on the detected IM products of the received uplink signal, and subtracting (114) the cancellation signal from the received uplink signal. Also, a similar apparatus in a base station is provided.

Techniques for compensating for the time misalignment of receive-transmit switching in a multi-antenna radio network node are disclosed. An example method begins with the detection (1020) of signal transmission timing for each of two or more antennas associated with the radio network node, for at least a first transmission period. Next, the radio network node determines (1030) that transmit timing for at least one of the antennas is misaligned by at least a first threshold time interval, based on the detected signal transmission timings. The example method continues with the adjustment (1040) of transmit timing for at least one of the antennas for one or more subsequent transmission periods, responsive to determining that the transmission timing for at least one of the antennas is misaligned.
摘要:
Interference in a wireless communication system receiver, such as at a base station, is identified based on monitoring automatic gain control (AGC) events. AGC statistics in combination with base band processing are used to identify the interference. Performance degradation is evaluated, and interference mitigation solutions are proposed based on the identified interference. Mitigation solutions include IRC, scheduling restrictions, and filter modifications including replacement of filters.

An eNodeB in a TDD system (100), comprising first and second transmitters (408-411), a first receiver (302; 402-405), a control unit (306, 416), and means (305, 415) for diverting part of a transmitted signal from the first and second transmitters (408-411) to the first receiver (302; 402-405). The diverting means (305, 415) are connected to the transmitter part via a switch function (308, 418) and the transceiver also comprises a delay component (304, 404. The control unit (306, 416) activates the switch (308, 418) when the output power of the transmitted signals falls below a threshold, and the delay component (304, 404) delays so that the diverted signals are received by the receiver part (303; 402-405) at a predefined point in time. The transceiver (300) comprises a comparison unit (307, 417) for comparing the diverted signals from the first and second transmitters after reception through the first receiver.

Method and radio node (500) for controlling a change of communication mode between transmit mode and receive mode according to a Time Division Duplex, TDD, scheme. The radio node has at least two parallel branches (504, 06) for transmission and reception of radio signals, wherein the branches currently operate in a first communication mode. The radio node obtains one or more indication signals (S1A, S1B) generated by one or more of the branches to indicate that the first mode has been turned off. When it is determined that the first communication mode has not been turned off in a faulty branch, e.g. by not receiving an indication signal in time from that branch,the first mode is disabled in the faulty branch, and/or the faulty branch is reported to a supervision centre (510). Thereby, it can be discovered when one of the branches is misaligned or otherwise faulty and suitable actions can be taken for repairing or replacing the faulty branch.
摘要:
In TDD mobile networks, an incoming signal is received during a time period where no uplink communication takes place. The incoming signal is measured and analyzed to determine a noise level. Based on the noise level and on an uplink signal level from expected in a future uplink time slot, a gain for the automatic gain controller is set for use in future uplink communications. The gain is set to optimize the operation of an analog-to-digital converter.
