摘要:
In one aspect, the present invention in one or more embodiments improves mobility management—e.g., handover processing enhancement—by providing/utilizing additional information in combination with CoMP operation, for enhancing the handover procedure. For example, the additional information is used to improve judging the most suitable target cell (14). The additional information can be, for example, angle of arrival or time advance of the UE (20) in handover, RTT, power headroom or signal strength. In at least one embodiment, the information used for handover processing at source and/or target base stations (12-1, 12-2) is enhanced or otherwise made richer by the use of “geometric information” for mobile terminals (20). In one such embodiment, the geometric information used for handover processing associated with a given terminal (20) indicates something about the mobile terminal's position (relative or absolute).

User equipment is to be handed over from a source cell to a target cell in a radio communication network. The user equipment is assigned dedicated uplink resources in the source cell, and a handover candidate cell is prepared for receiving the user equipment by obtaining information about the assigned dedicated uplink resources in the source cell. A radio base station for the handover candidate cell is listening for user equipment transmissions and determines, when receiving a user equipment transmission, whether the received user equipment transmission can be detected based on information about the assigned dedicated uplink resources in the source cell in order to assess if the received user equipment transmission is coming from user equipment for which the handover candidate cell has been prepared. The radio base station for the handover candidate cell initiates a handover procedure for the user equipment if it is assessed that the received user equipment transmission is coming from user equipment for which the handover candidate cell has been prepared. In this way, handover can be initiated and completed even if the serving radio base station of the source cell cannot receive a handover-triggering measurement report from the UE.
摘要:
A transmitting node uses different reference signal sequences for different types of enhanced control channels. An example method begins with generating (1410) a first reference signal sequence, from a first initialization value, and generating (1420) a second reference signal sequence, from a second initialization value. These reference signal sequences are associated with two corresponding enhanced control transmissions. A first enhanced control channel and reference symbols taken from the first reference signal sequence are transmitted (1430), using first time-frequency resources and a first set of transmission points or a first set of antenna ports or both, and a second enhanced control channel and reference symbols taken from the second reference signal sequence are also transmitted (1440), using a differing second set of transmission points and/or a differing second set of antenna ports and/or a differing second set of time-frequency resources, in the same subframe or group of subframes.

A communication system includes a transmitting communication device (310) and a receiving communication device (320). The transmitting communication device (310) determines a control element, e.g., a control element of a Media Access Control protocol, associated with one of the carriers and provides the control element with an identifier specifying the carrier the control element is associated with. The transmitting communication device (310) sends the control element with the identifier on one of the carriers to the receiving communication device (320). The receiving communication device (320) receives the control element and determines, from the identifier received with the control element, the carrier the control element is associated with. Further, the receiving communication device (320) determines, on the basis of parameters indicated by the control element, a data transmission property of the carrier the control element is associated with.

A User Equipment, UE, supporting communication in a multicarrier radio communication system and a method therein for receiving information from a Radio Base Station, RBS, are provided. The method comprises determining 310 a bandwidth by which the UE will receive information, the bandwidth comprising a plurality of sub-carriers. The method also comprises adjusting 320 a bandwidth of the UE to correspond to the determined bandwidth by which the UE will receive information; and fine tuning 330 a local oscillator of the UE such that a centre frequency of a local oscillator does not coincide with a predetermined subcarrier transmitted from the RBS.

The disclosure relates to a user equipment for a wireless communications system, and to a related method for identifying a resource to use for a transmission of control information on a physical uplink control channel, PUCCH, format 3. The method comprises receiving (610) a resource index from a serving radio base station, and identifying (620) the resource to use for the transmission of the control information in a subframe based on the received resource index, wherein the identified resource is within a same confined set of physical resource blocks regardless of if a normal or a shortened PUCCH format 3 is used in the subframe.

Methods and apparatus for organizing reception on a channel by a user equipment are disclosed. A method includes determining a channel group based on a first physical resource block index of a physical uplink shared channel and a cyclic shift of uplink demodulation reference signals, without an offset value; determining a channel sequence based on the first physical resource block index, the cyclic shift, and the offset value; and determining a reception resource according to the channel group and the channel sequence.

A coupler head for a coupling arrangement is shown, which coupler head includes a coupler head housing (6) extending in a longitudinal direction from a first end (6a), attachable to a drawbar, to a second end (6b), which is arranged to carry a coupling interface between coupled rail vehicles, which coupler head housing houses mechanical coupling components (8,9) effective for automatic coupling to the corresponding components of a connecting coupling arrangement. The coupler head is characterized in that the coupler head housing has at least one notch (11, 11′) for a predetermined and primarily axial compression thereof with absorption of energy from a deforming compressive force that is applied to the coupler head in the longitudinal direction thereof. The coupler head has preferably at least one notch (11, 11′) for a predetermined folding of the coupler head housing.
摘要:
Aspects of the present invention relate to improved systems and methods for handing over a UE from a source node to a target node. In some embodiments, the target node receives UL and DL count information directly from the UE being handed over, rather than from the source node or from a core network node.
摘要:
Methods, for use in a communications system, for transmitting information that applies a method for channel coding the CQI/PMI information, wherein a turbo coding method is applied when the size of the CQI/PMI information is above a first threshold value. The methods further include setting, based on the method applied for the channel coding, an offset value indicative of the difference in code rate between the code rate of the CQI/PMI information and the assigned code rate of the UL-SCH data information on the PUSCH. The methods also include determining, based on the offset value, the number of coded bits to be used for transmission of the CQI/PMI information, and transmitting the CQI/PMI information to a radio access network node on resources assigned based on the determined number of coded bits.
