摘要:
A wireless communication method of establishing and maintaining a cell cluster comprising at least one cell configured to communicate with at least one UE (User Equipment), comprising detecting a broadcast beacon signal. The method further comprises, in response to an absence of the broadcast beacon signal, assuming the role of a cluster head of a cluster having a specific intra-cell identifier, and broadcasting a beacon signal. In response to detecting the broadcast beacon signal and an absence of an intra-cell identifier, continuing to transmit and receive using a prior duplex communication configuration. Further, in response to detecting the broadcast beacon signal and a presence of the intra-cell identifier, joining the cell identified by the detected intra-cell identifier, and setting its intra-cell identifier based on the detected intra-cell identifier.

There are provided measures for cell clustering based configuration of flexible time division duplex communication, such as e.g. in layered heterogeneous network deployments. Such measures may exemplarily comprise measures for specifying a desired uplink-downlink configuration for time division duplex communication in a subject cell of a cellular communication system, obtaining at least one desired uplink-downlink configuration for time division duplex communication in at least one neighboring cell of the cellular communication system, wherein the at least one neighboring cell and the subject cell belong to the same cell cluster, and defining an uplink-downlink configuration for time division duplex communication in at least the subject cell of the cell cluster out of a set of predefined uplink-downlink configurations with flexible subframe patterns for flexible time division duplex communication on the basis of the specified desired uplink-downlink configuration for the subject cell and the obtained at least one desired uplink-downlink configuration for the at least one neighboring cell.

The present invention relates to methods, apparatuses and a computer program product for carrier allocation. The invention includes defining change occasion for a base station for changing a component carrier. The invention further includes receiving, at a processor, from a first base station, information regarding carrier interference severeness between the first base station and a second base station, wherein the carrier interference severeness comprises at least one of an expected separately usable protected carrier number, the number of user equipments located in a common coverage area of the first and second base station, and the downlink traffic load related to the user equipments, and allocating carrier pattern for the first base station based on the received information. Further, the invention includes composing, by a part of a first base station, a report including information regarding carrier interference severeness between the first base station and a second base station, wherein the carrier interference severeness comprises at least one of an expected separately usable protected carrier number, the number of user equipments located in a common coverage area of the first and second base station, and the downlink traffic load related to the user equipment, and causing transmission of the report to an allocating unit.

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided to manage wireless connection switching. In the context of a method, an Access Point (AP) may determine whether to direct at least one User Equipment (UE) connected to a local area AP to be connected to a macro AP and may cause, in an instance in which it is determined to direct the at least one UE to be connected to the macro AP, at least one signal to be transmitted to the at least one UE, the at least one signal being configured to direct the at least one UE to connect to the macro AP. The signal may take many different forms and may encode further information such as the portion of the traffic that should be served by the macro AP, a particular Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) resource to be used by the UE, and/or other types of information and/or parameters.

There are provided measures for information exchange for cellular non-cellular interworking such as for example LTE/UTRA-WiFi interworking. Such measures may exemplarily comprise measures for reporting, e.g. from an access point of a non-cellular local-area communication system or a terminal being served in a cellular wide-area communication system, information about at least one access point of the non-cellular local-area communication system to a radio access network level of the cellular wide-area communication system, and performing, at the radio access network level of the cellular wide-area communication system, traffic offloading management for at least one terminal being served in the cellular wide-area communication system to enable offloading of terminal-related traffic from the cellular wide-area communication system to the non-cellular local-area communication system on the basis of the obtained access point information.

In terms of enhancements in relation to, scenarios allowing communication via multiple access systems an example aspect of the present invention encompasses an apparatus, comprising a controller, configured to cause control of a transceiver which is configured to communicate via at least two access systems, receive at least two access control commands from distinct sources, each access control command commanding access to at least one of the at least two access systems, detect a conflict between at least part of the at least two commands, and in case of a detected conflict, resolve the conflict by causing to withdraw at least part of one of the at least two access control commands based on a priority relation between the at least two conflicting access control commands. Further, an apparatus is encompassed which comprises a controller, configured to cause control of a transceiver which is configured to communicate via an access system with a terminal, cause to transmit an access control command to said terminal, said access control command commanding access to at least one of at least two access systems available for said terminal, cause to receive a report from the terminal regarding a detected conflict relating to said access control command. Likewise, corresponding methods and computer program products are addressed.
摘要:
The present invention addresses apparatuses, methods and computer program product for improvement of signaling and procedure for in-device co-existence. An IDC Resolution Timer (IRT) is added at both UE and eNB sides. The IRT starts to run once UE sends IDC indication to eNB. If UE doesn't receive any IDC response from eNB after IRT expires, UE could assume that eNB rejects its IDC indication and UE could start to use other possible methods such as switching off other ISM RAT, or using autonomous denial. If UE receive IDC response from eNB before IRT expires, it will reset the IRT.
