    摘要: A method includes, in response to receiving an overload start indication from a network node, composing and sending first signaling to at least one user equipment to indicate that an overload condition exists for the network node and, in response to receiving an overload end indication from the network node, composing and sending second signaling to the at least one user equipment to indicate that the overload condition no longer exists. A further method includes receiving at a user equipment first signaling from a network access node that indicates that an overload condition exists for a network node and abstaining from making a network access attempt until receiving second signaling from the network access node that indicates that the overload condition no longer exists for the network node. Corresponding apparatus and computer programs are also disclosed.

    摘要: Relative sizes of neighbor cells are identified, and measurement reporting of the neighbor cells is differentiated in dependence on at least the relative size. In one embodiment the relative sizes are identified by a frequency layer and/or physical cell identity sent by a serving cell. The differentiated reporting may be implemented by using different values, based on the relative sizes, of a measurement or reporting parameter or a scaling factor (such as Treselection or time to trigger) which adjusts either of those parameters. In one embodiment the differentiated measurement reporting is conditional on a user equipment which sends the measurement reports being classified as fast moving, and in another is further conditional on it also having no active data transfer applications ongoing. In various embodiments, detecting and measuring of small neighbor cells (and thus their reporting) is omitted, or measurements can be collected normally and only the reporting is omitted.

    摘要: An exemplary method includes operating a user equipment in a macro cell and selectively, based on at least one criterion, at least one of measuring or not measuring a small cell located within the macro cell, and transmitting or not transmitting a measurement report for the small cell to a wireless network. The use of embodiments of this invention enables intelligent decisions to be made in a heterogeneous network (HetNet) at least with respect to the use of small cells for data offloading purposes. Another exemplary method includes operating a user equipment with at least one component carrier and, responsive to at least one criterion, selectively at least one of performing measuring or not performing measuring of a component carrier other than a component carrier with which the user equipment is currently operating, and transmitting or not transmitting a measurement report for a measured component carrier to a wireless network.
