A method for optimizing re-transmission in a multi-antenna multi-terminal network, the method comprising the following steps performed by a station of the network: receiving from at least one terminal of multiple terminals one or more messages indicating a failed transmission of data sent to the multiple terminals; determining from the received one or more messages if a switching-to-beam-forming criterion is matched and, if the criterion is matched, initiating a re-transmission of the data to the at least one terminal via a beam-forming technique involving one or more of the multiple antennas and using at least one beam for the re-transmission of the data.

The invention relates to a method for transmitting multicast information from at least one transmitter (BS, Tx) to a plurality of receivers (UE1, UE2, . . . UEN), comprising determining (S10) a channel quality measure (ru,s) of each receiver (UE1, UE2, . . . UEN), adapting (S60) transmission rates (Ras) of the transmitter (BS) to cause the transmitter (BS) to transmit at different rates (Ras) for different transmission resource units, particularly transmission time intervals (TTI), based on the channel quality measures (ru,s) of the plurality of receivers (UE1, UE2, . . .

UEN) and a processor, said network access node (BS, AN) being adapted to perform the described method.

A technique for distributing in a multicasting network media content via two or more media layers is described. The media layers are hierarchically arranged in accordance with a scalable coding protocol such as the Scalable Video Coding (SVC) protocol. In a method implementation of this technique, in a first step a first number of media recipients for a first media layer that is transmitted via a first bearer of the multicasting network is determined. Then, a second bearer of the multicasting network for at least one second media layer is selected taking into account the first number and a hierarchical relationship between the first media layer and the second media layer.

To improve transmission of digital broadcast information, there is proposed a method of transmitting digital broadcast information from a main transmitter (12) to at least one repeater (14). There is generated a composite digital broadcast signal carrying first digital broadcast information according to a first digital broadcast specification (DVB-T) and second digital broadcast information according to a second digital broadcast specification (DVB-H). The composite digital broadcast is then broadcasted such that the second digital broadcast information (DVB-H) is sent in a transmission mode used for transmission of the first digital broadcast information (DVB-T).

The embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and arrangement in a telecommunication system, in particular to methods and arrangements relating to overlapping MBSFN-areas. A notification mechanism is introduced that allows a user equipment to distinguish notifications for different MBSFN areas and different MBMS Control Channels. The user equipment then knows already upon reception of the notification whether it has to wake up and read a specific MBMS Control Channel. The embodiments of the present invention thus support multiple MBSFN areas per cell while still maintaining the benefits of reduced battery consumption in the UE due to said MBMS notification mechanism.

The invention relates to a method for measuring signal interference from an interfering transceiver node of a mobile communications network to a user equipment served by a serving transceiver node. The interfering transceiver node uses a plurality of defined radiation patterns for signal transmission, wherein a transmission of a sequence of the defined radiation patterns by the interfering transceiver node is triggered. Furthermore, signal measurements of the signal transmitted by the interfering transceiver node that uses the sequence of the defined radiation patterns are triggered at the user equipment and an interference level of the signals received at the user equipment is estimated from the interfering transceiver node in dependence on the sequence of the defined radiation patterns, wherein the interference level is estimated based on the triggered signal measurements received from the user equipment.

A relay node for a wireless network is configured for transmissions on the basis of a radio frame with a plurality of subframes. The relay node includes a first relay path and a second relay path. The first relay path is configured to receive, in a first subframe of the subframes, first unicast transmission signals, to decode the first unicast transmission signals to obtain unicast data, and to forward the decoded unicast data by sending second unicast transmission signals in a second subframe of the subframes. The second relay path is configured to receive, in a third subframe of the subframes, multicast transmission signals, to amplify the received multicast transmission signals, and to send the amplified multicast transmission signals in the third subframe. The relay node may switch between the first relay path and the second relay path in order to implement a hybrid Decode-and-Forward and Amplify-and-Forward relaying operation.

A base station node (BS) of a heterogeneous radio access network comprises a terminal locator (34) and a scheduler (36). The terminal locator (34) obtains an indication of location of a wireless terminal (30) in a cell served by the base station (BS), e.g., whether the wireless terminal (30) is in a center region (M) or an edge region (E) for the cell served by the base station node (BS). The scheduler (36) uses the indication of location to assign to the wireless terminal (30) a frequency of a frequency bandwidth usable by the heterogeneous radio access network. The scheduler (36) assigns a frequency from a partitioned portion of the frequency bandwidth if the cell served by the base station node is a micro cell and the wireless terminal is in an edge region of a micro cell. The scheduler (36) also assigns a frequency of the frequency bandwidth if the cell served by the base station node is a micro cell and the wireless terminal is in a center portion of the micro cell.

The invention proposes a method for enabling a composing of a set of cells within a coverage area of a radio access network within which the same information is transmitted time synchronously using a modulation and coding scheme common for the cells of the set. The proposed method comprises the following steps performed by a mobile station connectable to the radio access network: identifying one or more pilot signals from respective one or more cells monitored by the mobile station, determining signal and interference contributions from the one or more monitored cells with regard to a particular set of cells, reporting the determined signal and interference contributions towards a network node performing the composition of the set of cells.
