Abstract:
There is provided a user node comprising a first transceiver modem capable of receiving a full set of resource elements and a secondary transceiver modem capable of receiving a subset of resource elements among the full set of resource elements, the subset of resource elements comprising resource element blocks. The first transceiver modem is configured to receive first control information identifying the subset of the resource elements and second control information enabling determination of a currently used resource element block among the subset of resource elements, send the first control information and the second control information to the secondary transceiver modem and enter into a reduced power state. The secondary transceiver modem is configured to receive at least one signal in the subset of resource elements while the first transceiver modem is in the reduced power state, determine a control decision and output at least one command.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an access network node for a wireless communication system. The access network node is configured to act as a source access network node or as a target access network node, and comprises a transceiver configured to receive a handover instruction from a control device, the handover instruction comprising a handover time instance for a user device, a processor configured to serve the user device by maintaining a data connection with the user device until the handover time instance, and share an Automatic Repeat Request/Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, ARQ/HARQ, process with a target access network node for the user device; or serve the user device by maintaining a data connection with the user device after the handover time instance, and share a ARQ/HARQ process with a source access network node for the user device.
Abstract:
A baseband unit may be arranged to serve a plurality of remotely located network devices. Network devices are connected to the baseband unit using a fronthaul network. The disclosed network device separates signals belonging to different users before quantizing and transmits the quantized separated signals to the baseband unit. The baseband unit may monitor the quality of the link of the fronthaul network and determine the number of bits used for quantizing.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a user device, an access node device and a central network controller. The user device comprises a transceiver configured to synchronise with a radio communication network; said transceiver further being configured to broadcast a beacon signal comprising at least one reference signal to one or more access node devices of said radio communication network. The access node device comprises a transceiver configured to receive a broadcast beacon signal from a user device synchronised with said radio communication network; and further a processor configured to derive information from said received broadcast beacon signal and to use said derived information in a network procedure of said radio communication network. Furthermore, the present disclosure also relates to corresponding methods, a computer program, and a computer program product.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a coordinator network node and one or more network access nodes interworking in a wireless communication system. The coordinator network node determines a joint resource allocation area (ΩUE) based on measurement messages from network access nodes. The determined joint resource allocation area (ΩUE) is thereafter transmitted to the network access nodes. Thereby, the coordinator network node enables to determine the portion of the first or the second service areas that are free from interference from neighbouring network access nodes where each network access node can perform resource allocations independently. It further enables to determine/identify the joint resource allocation area where neighbouring network access nodes significantly interfere each other. Therefore, e.g. resource allocation in the system can be improved. Furthermore, the disclosure also relates to corresponding methods and a computer program.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an access node configured for determining at least one beamforming parameter for communication between the access node and a user node. The access node including: a first-band receiver configured to receive at least one first signal from said user node on a first frequency band; a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions executed by the processor to perform, on the access node, determining at least one first beamforming parameter based on said received first signal; and a second-band transmitter configured to send, with a transmit beam that is configured based on said determined first beamforming parameter, on a second frequency band at least one second signal to said user node. The first frequency band includes lower frequencies than the second frequency band.

Abstract:
A computing apparatus configured to communicate with nodes of a wireless communication system. The computing apparatus includes a processor configured to receive a radio link measurement corresponding to a user node. The processor determines a physical disturbance based on the radio link measurement and determines an at risk user node and a time at which the at risk user node is likely to experience a radio link disturbance, based on the physical disturbance. The processor then determines a connectivity adjustment for the at risk user node, and sends the determined connectivity adjustment to the wireless communication system.
