摘要： A mechanism for increasing a sectorization order in a first sector of an antenna array. The object is achieved by a method in a network node. The network node and antenna array are comprised in a wireless communication system. The antenna array is deployed with a first sectorization. The network node comprises a first number of signal connections. Each signal connection is adapted to transmit and receive signals. The method comprises the step of splitting the first number of connections into a number of groups. Each one of the respective connection groups corresponds to one respective virtual sector resulting in a number of virtual sectors. The method further comprises the step of mapping the number of virtual sectors to the first sector, such that the first sector is split into the number of virtual sectors.

摘要： The present invention uses user-specific resources, as allocated on the uplink, for conveying one or more antenna-specific sounding reference signals (SRSs). This technique advantageously permits, for example, a user equipment (UE) configured for uplink Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) operation to send antenna-specific SRSs within the granted resources allocated to the UE via one or more scheduled uplink grants. That is, within the granted resources allocated by a given uplink grant, a UE uses at least a portion of those resources for sending antenna-specific SRSs, rather than for sending uplink data (user traffic). Thus, in one or more embodiments, the present invention comprises a method at a UE of transmitting antenna-specific SRSs for two or more uplink transmit antennas. The method comprises transmitting an antenna-specific sounding reference signal for at least one of the uplink transmit antennas within a granted resource allocated to the user equipment for a scheduled uplink data transmission.

摘要： The present invention provides a unified, rank independent mapping between antenna ports and group/code pairs. Each antenna port is uniquely associated with one code division multiplexing (CDM) group and one orthogonal cover code (OCC). The mapping between antenna ports and group/code pairs is chosen such that, for a given antenna port, the CDM group and OCC will be the same for every transmission rank.

摘要： The present invention relates to methods and arrangements for providing a more flexible configuration of SRS transmission. This is achieved by dynamically triggering a mobile terminal to transmit SRS. Thus, embodiments of the invention allow dynamically trigged SRS in any uplink subframe, even without necessarily reserving resources semi-statically on cell level. This is done by signaling to the terminal whether the mobile terminal should leave the predefined uplink symbol empty for sounding reference signals or use it for data transmission. In case a terminal leaves the last symbol empty for sounding reference signals, there are two possibilities, either the UE shall transmit one or several reference signals from one or several antennas, or the terminal shall leave the last symbol blank since another terminal may be using the resource for sounding. Accordingly, in a specific embodiment, there are at least three different messages that can be conveyed to the terminal: use the predefined uplink symbol for data, leave it blank or use it for sounding reference signals.

摘要： The present invention relates to methods and arrangements in a wireless communication system that enable the use of multi-codeword transmission and ACK/NACK compression with low performance loss. It also enables the use of advanced receivers of reasonable complexity. This is achieved by a solution based on the even distribution of the symbols of separately coded blocks of information bits over the available physical resources before transmission. Each physical resource will thus carry a mixture of symbols from all blocks of information bits, which results in a more similar channel quality for the blocks of information bits. A compressed ACK/NACK message corresponding to the blocks of information bits will thus be more accurate and the performance loss due to the ACK/NACK compression can be reduced.

摘要： The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for providing a more flexible configuration of sounding reference signal, SRS, transmission. This is achieved by dynamically triggering a mobile terminal to transmit SRS. Thus, embodiments of the invention include a method implemented by a base station in a communications network that semi-statically configures some uplink symbols for periodic SRS transmission and other uplink symbols for aperiodic SRS transmission. The method includes dynamically determining whether an uplink symbol that has been semi-statically configured for aperiodic SRS transmission is to be used by a given mobile terminal at a given time for SRS transmission. The method then further includes signaling a terminal-specific instruction that indicates said determination to the given mobile terminal.
