摘要:
A node of a wireless network transmits information to a user equipment over an aggregated carrier that includes a primary carrier having a first set of primary carrier time/frequency resources and a secondary carrier having a second set of secondary carrier time/frequency resources. Synchronization signals and/or reference symbols are transmitted to the user equipment on the secondary carrier less often than on the primary carrier. An indication of when and/or how often the synchronization signals and/or reference symbols will be transmitted to the user equipment on the secondary carrier may also be transmitted to the user equipment over the primary carrier. By transmitting synchronization signals and/or reference symbols to the user equipment on the secondary carrier less often than on the primary carrier, resources of the secondary carrier may be conserved, energy efficiency of the secondary carrier may be increased, and/or interference with other cells may be reduced or prevented.

The invention relates to random access procedures in an LTE-system applying carrier aggregation, in particular to support network-initiated random access on secondary cells. A UE transmits a preamble on a random access channel to a radio base station on a secondary cell and receives or detects a random access response message from the base station including timing advance information for uplink transmission by the UE. The UE can determine the secondary cell that the control information in the random access response message refers to and transmits to the base station based on the timing advance information in the random access response message.
摘要:
A radio base station (110) and a method in a radio base station (110) for scheduling a transmission to be transmitted between a user equipment (120) and the radio base station (110) are provided. Moreover, a user equipment (120) and a method in a user equipment (120) for obtaining information about the transmission are provided. The radio base station (110) operates an aggregated carrier in a subframe structure comprising a plurality of subframes. The aggregated carrier comprises a plurality of carriers. The radio base station (110) encodes information about a subframe out of said plurality of subframes and a carrier out of said plurality of carriers into a message indicating scheduling information to the user equipment (120). The radio base station (110) sends the message to the user equipment (120), which decodes the message to obtain the information about the transmission. The information about the transmission is indicative of the subframe and the carrier on which the transmission is scheduled.

Embodiments herein relate to a method in a user equipment for handling control information in a radio communications network. The user equipment is served in a cell controlled by a radio network node and is of a second type of user equipments. The user equipment monitors a search space for control information of a physical data control channel, PDCCH, which search space is associated with the second type of user equipments. The PDCCH comprises at least one control channel element that comprises resource elements at least partly comprised in a second region of resource elements. The resource elements of the second region are only allowed to be scheduled for control information to user equipments of the second type. The at least one CCE is defined in relation to a CCE of a first region of resource elements, which resource elements of the first region are allowed to be scheduled for control information to user equipments of a first type. The user equipment detects control information within the monitored search space, and uses the detected control information for communicating with the radio network node.

摘要:
Embodiments herein disclose a method in a user equipment (10) for communicating with a radio network node (12, 12′) in a radio communications network, which user equipment (10) is served by the radio network node (12, 12′). The user equipment receives first information from the radio network node (12, 12′) over a control channel, which first information comprises a pointer to which scheduling assignment element for the user equipment (10) to use. The scheduling assignment element is comprised in a set of scheduling assignments stored at the user equipment (10). The user equipment communicates data with the radio network node (12, 12′) using second information in the scheduling assignment element indicated by the pointer.
