A UE, for an HSPA WCDMA system, equipped with a first and a second transmit antenna, and arranged to use one or more sets of pre-coding weights for transmission. The UE is arranged to receive instructions from a NodeB on the set or sets of pre-coding weights to be used, and to transmit a first and a second pilot signal, and to use a first set of pre-coding weights for the first pilot signal and a second set of pre-coding weights for the second pilot signal, where the first set of pre-coding weights is the same as the UE uses for transmitting a first data stream, and to use different spreading codes for the first data stream and for the first pilot signal.

In a method and a device a time-varying back-off value is used whereby differences in cell load can be taken into account for a restricted time-period during which the information is believed to be valid. Also, other time-varying variables of interest for the initial DPCCH power setting of the secondary earner can be taken into account when setting the back-off value.

The present invention discloses a method in a wireless access network node for controlling a UE. The UE comprises at least two transmit antennas, and is capable of uplink transmit diversity. There is an antenna weight associated with each transmit antenna. First, the wireless access network node determines that the antenna weights of the user equipment may be controlled. Then, it creates a control signal that comprises control information and transmits it to the user equipment. The control information controls a UE autonomous selection of the antenna weights in the UE.

The present invention relates to a method and a user equipment for use in a wireless communication system that allow for improved uplink transmit diversity performance by using downlink measurements for making informed decisions on whether or not to change precoding vector for uplink transmission. The user equipment measures (32) downlink characteristics, such as received power, on a plurality of antennas of the user equipment. Based on the measured downlink characteristics a precoding vector for unlink transmission is determined (38). The determined precoding vector is then used to perform uplink transmission (31).

Methods and arrangements in a control node, a base station and a UE, for achieving a UE up link transmit diversity mode adaptation, which is coordinated between a base station and a control node. The methods and arrangements involve the control node indicating a set of allowed up link transmit diversity modes to the base station. Further, an up link transmit diversity mode for the mobile terminal is selected in the base station, from amongst the currently allowed up link transmit diversity modes; where the selection is based on information concerning the mobile terminal which is available in the base station. The base station then indicates the selected up link transmit diversity mode to the mobile terminal, which changes to the up link transmit diversity mode indicated by the base station. The methods and arrangements enable a faster and more flexible UE up link transmit diversity mode adaptation.

A NodeB (105) for an HSPA enabled WCDMA network (100), arranged (11, 12, 13) to transmit beam forming instructions to a User Equipment, a UE (1 10), which is arranged for beam forming. The beam forming instructions comprise information identifying a code book with one or more code words, and the NodeB is also arranged to transmit code words from said code book to the UE at a certain rate. The NodeB is further arranged to determine said rate based on dynamically varying information available in the WCDMA network, and to receive said information on the code book from an RNC upon configuration of the U E or to choose code book based on said dynamically varying information available in the WCDMA network.
摘要:
In a network that provides high-speed packet access, a mobile terminal is served by multiple activated serving cells which are grouped into cell groups. The mobile terminal monitors control channel transmissions to detect whether there are any transmissions for the mobile terminal from the activated serving cells for each cell group and provides feedback to a primary serving cell. When no transmission is detected from serving cells of a particular cell group, the mobile terminal may transmit feedback information explicitly indicating that no transmission is detected for that cell group. Alternatively, the mobile terminal may withhold transmitting feedback for that cell group and increases the power for transmitting the feedback information for cell groups in which transmissions were detected.

The invention concerns a method and an antenna weight determining device (37) for improving handling of two data streams sent in downlink data communication channels to a user equipment (14) via a first and a second cell of a wireless communication network, where the antenna weight determining device comprises a unit (38) for processing data obtained in relation to communication signals sent at least between at least one of the second cells and the user equipment, and a unit (41) for determining an antenna weight to be applied by the second cell based on the processing.
摘要:
Methods and devices are described for use in a wireless communications system supporting uplink transmit diversity. If it is detected that a user equipment is currently in one of a predetermined set of situations, a set of restrictions associated with the detected situation is applied when the user equipment changes pre-coding weights. The set of restrictions limits how much the pre-coding weights can be changed. A user equipment in soft handover may also be restricted to only consider feedback information from a serving base station when selecting pre-coding weights. Thus it is possible to ensure that pre-coding weights are carefully selected in situations where there is a high risk for detrimental interference and/or inferior uplink/downlink performance. A network node may be configured to detect such a situation and notify the user equipment of any restrictions to be applied on the pre-coding weight selection.
摘要:
Control of downlink transmissions associated with a first cell (124) in a cellular communication system (100) is described. A plurality of antennas (117) at different locations are configured to transmit downlink signals associated with the first cell. A subset of the plurality of antennas is caused to transmit a respective probing signal intended for reception by a mobile communication terminal (106). Feedback information is received that is indicative of reception in the mobile communication terminal of the probing signals. At least one specific antenna is selected for downlink transmissions to the mobile communication terminal, based at least in part on the feedback information and the at least one specific antenna is caused to perform downlink transmissions to the mobile communication terminal.
