摘要:
To communicate wireless handover events, a communications device associated with a serving cell of a cellular network determines, based on at least one or more first measurement results indicative of cell quality parameters of a plurality of cells of the cellular network, a first handover event associated with a first one of the cells, initiates communication of a first handover message indicative of the determined first handover event to a network entity of the cellular network, and, based on at least one or more second measurement results, determines a plurality of further handover events associated with respective ones of the cells, resulting in a plurality of pending handover events waiting to be communicated to a network entity of the cellular network. The communications device also determines a priority order for at least a subset of the pending handover events. The subset includes handover events associated with different cells.

A method of estimation of harmonic distortion level for a radio receiver operative in a cellular communication system enabled to receive signals from transmitters of one or more cells is disclosed. The method comprises measuring, within a bandwidth of operation, a total received signal power; measuring, within the bandwidth of operation, a received signal power of signals received from the one or more cells, respectively; and estimating a level of harmonic receiver distortions by: determining whether a fraction of the total received signal power and a theoretical noise floor is below or above a first threshold; or determining whether a remaining part of the total received signal power, said remaining part not including said fraction, is above or below a second threshold. A such radio receiver, and a computer program for implementing the method are also disclosed.

摘要:
Methods and apparatus for changing the transmission/reception setup of a base station (BS) in a communication network to another transmission/reception setup (such as one using fewer transmit antennas and/or lower channel bandwidths) without affecting communication with user equipments involve “replacing” the existing BS with a “virtual” BS that has the other transmission/reception setup. Replacement can be performed by, for example, ramping down the power of the existing, or first, BS, which has a respective first cell identification (ID), and simultaneously ramping up the power of the virtual, or second, BS, which has a respective second cell ID.

A method is disclosed of scheduling up-link transmissions for a number of terminals of a wireless communication system into a number of groups, wherein each group comprises terminals intended for simultaneous up-link transmission during a respective period of time. A subset metric may be calculated for each of a number of subsets of terminals based on transmissions received from the terminals of the subset. The subset metric is indicative of a simultaneous transmission suitability measure for the terminals of the subset. The subsets may be processed in subset metric order, starting with the subset having a subset metric indicating a least suitability of simultaneous transmission. During the processing, each terminal of the subset that is not already scheduled in a group may be scheduled in a group that does not already comprise another terminal of the subset. Information indicative of the period of time during which a scheduled terminal is intended to transmit may be transmitted to each of the scheduled terminals. Corresponding computer program product, scheduler and arrangement are also disclosed.

A method of operating a terminal of a wireless communication network is disclosed, wherein the terminal operates according to a discontinuous reception mode. The wireless communication network comprises one or more wireless network nodes having at least first and second downlink transmission modes, the first downlink transmission mode comprising normal operation of a particular network node and the second downlink transmission mode comprising restricted downlink transmission of the particular network node and being applicable when the number of active terminals in the cell associated with the particular network node is less than or equal to a second mode threshold value. The method comprises detecting a cell identity for a cell associated with a wireless network node of the wireless communication system, determining a current downlink transmission mode of the wireless network node as the first or second downlink transmission mode, and adapting a time pattern based on the determined current downlink transmission mode, wherein the time pattern specifies when a receiver of the terminal is turned on. Corresponding computer program product and arrangement are also disclosed.
