摘要:
Inter-cell interference coordination across layers of a communication network can be implemented by configuring a cell to transmit one or more downlink transmission resources having variably reduced transmission activity. A transmitting node, such as a macro cell, can transmit transmission resources, such as resource elements, resource blocks, subframes, and frames, having reduced transmission activity at varying predictable times according to a selected cell activity pattern. A receiving node, such as a user equipment, can decide to make received signal measurements according to the cell activity pattern.

The present invention relates to methods and apparatus in a RBS and a UE for reference signal (RS) measurements in an OFDM system, that enable having a configurable RS transmission bandwidth which is smaller than the system bandwidth. This allows for better interference coordination of RS, which in turn improves the UE RS measurements used for different services such as positioning. The RBS retrieves the RS transmission bandwidth, determines a RS measurement bandwidth based on this RS transmission bandwidth, and transmits the determined bandwidth to the UE. The UE receives the RS measurement bandwidth and measures the RS in a bandwidth determined based on the received measurement bandwidth and the UE capability.
摘要:
The auto-correlation properties of a reference signal or pilot pattern, such as a position reference signal (PRS) in a Long Term Evolution communication system, is improved by modifying the currently specified PRS patterns, and/or by PRS pattern shaping. Pattern shaping can result in creation of virtual PRS patterns, for example, by controlling the PRS transmitted or received power used by the correlator. PRS power shaping can be implemented differently according to the location where the PRS power is calculated, e.g., in a network node or in a user equipment.

摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and arrangements for assisting a User Equipment (UE) to determine transmit power to be used on a first uplink component carrier y, wherein the base station is configured to communicate with the UE over a plurality of uplink and downlink component carriers x,y. The UE is aware of path loss parameters associated with a second downlink component carrier x. The method in a base station comprises determining cell specific path loss parameters associated with the component carriers of the base station. The cell specific path loss parameters at least comprises path loss parameters associated with the first uplink component carrier y and a second uplink component carrier x which is paired to the second downlink component carrier x, wherein the second uplink component carrier and second downlink component carrier are within one frequency band. The method comprises the further steps of calculating a pathloss offset, deltaPL(y,x), for the first uplink component carrier y, wherein the pathloss offset deltaPL(y,x) is the pathloss power offset for the first uplink component carrier y with respect to the second uplink component carrier x, and sending the calculated pathloss offset, deltaPL(y,x) to the UE.

Methods in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) base station for controlling transmit power of a User Equipment(UE) are provided. The method includes configuring UE individual power weighting factors to be used for weighting available UE transmit power between uplink component carriers and/or between Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) and Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH); and signaling the configured UE individual power weighting factors to the UE. Related methods and arrangements are also provided.
