    摘要: In one embodiment, a method in a network node is provided. The network node is configured to use a first power level for transmitting data in subframes of a first type, and to use a second power level for transmitting data in subframes of a second type. The method comprises signaling (520) first and second information to a network entity. From the first information, a power offset for subframes of the first type is derivable. The first power offset represents a relation between a power level for transmitting reference signals and the first power level. From the second information, a power offset for subframes of the second type is derivable. The second power offset represents a relation between the power level for transmitting reference signals, and the second power level.

    摘要: A high-power point (110) and one or more low-power points (120) transmit signals that are associated with the same cell-identifier in a heterogeneous cell deployment. The coverage areas corresponding to the low-power points (120) fall at least partly within the coverage area for the high-power point (110), so that mobile stations (130) within range of a low-power point are also within range of the high-power point (110), from a downlink perspective. The same CRS signals are transmitted by both the high-power (macro) point (110) and some or all of the low-power (pico) points (120). At the same time, the network transmits CRS-based PDSCH for a particular UE on both the high-power point (110) as well as on some or all of the low-power points (120). In some embodiments only a subset of the points, e.g., those points that the UE hears sufficiently well, participate in the PDSCH transmission using CRS for channel estimation.

    摘要: A high-power point and one or more low-power points transmit signals associated with the same cell-identifier in a heterogeneous cell deployment. Coverage areas corresponding to the low-power points fall at least partly within the coverage area for the high-power point, so that mobile stations within range of a low-power point are also within range of the high-power point. Channel-state-information reference symbols, CSI-RS, are transmitted using different CSI-RS resources on different transmission points within the cell, while configuration of CSI-RS measurement resources is conducted on a UE-specific basis. The choice of measurement resources to be used is determined by the network, based on the properties of the channels from the transmission points to the UE. As the UE moves around within the cell, the network tracks the channel properties and reconfigures the CSI-RS resources measured by the UE, to correspond to the resource of the closest transmission point or points.

    摘要: A method and an arrangement (800) in a user equipment (420) for reporting Channel State Information, CSI, and a method and an arrangement (1000) in a base station (410) for obtaining CSI are provided. The user equipment (420) is in connection with the base station (410) in a cellular communication network (400). After receiving a receiving (702) a grant in a subframe n to be used for CSI reporting, from the base station, the user equipment determines (703) subframe type of a subframe n+p. The user equipment then reports (704) to the base station, CSI reflecting channel conditions in the subframe type of subframe n+p. p is a variable value.

    摘要: An extended cell search procedure enables more inclusive measurement reports by mobile terminals operating in a heterogeneous network. The mobile terminal may be configured to conduct an extended cell search to enable better detection of signals transmitted from weaker cells. For mobile terminal with extended cell search capabilities, the network sends an extended cell search message to the mobile terminal when there is a need for an extended cell search. In response to the extended cell search message, the mobile terminal uses an extended cell search procedure rather than the normal cell search procedure (as specified in Rel-8 of the LTE standard) when performing cell searches.

Coverage areas corresponding to the low-power points (120) fall at least partly within the coverage area for the high-power point, so that mobile stations (130) within range of a low-power point are also within range of the high-power point (110).

    摘要: Techniques are described for adapting receiver settings used by a mobile terminal operating in a heterogeneous network comprising macro cells and pico cells with overlapping coverage areas. A first set of subframes is allocated to the pico cells for downlink transmissions to a mobile terminal in a link imbalance zone. The mobile terminal acquires information about the subframe allocation and uses the subframe allocation information to select the signals used for adapting receiver settings used when operating in the link imbalance zone.
