    摘要: The invention relates to a method for supporting cell change between frequency layers. The method is performed in a UE and/or a RN node of a wireless communication network deploying two frequency layers. The RN node serves a UE in a cell of a first of the two frequency layers.

    摘要: A relay node (800) reports its output power capability to a donor base station or other network node separately for the relay node's backhaul and access links, which may have different maximum output power. A corresponding network node (900), such as a donor base station, an Operations & Maintenance node, an Operational Support Systems node, a Self-Organizing Network node, is configured to request the relay node (800) to report its backhaul link and access link output power class capabilities or maximum output powers or rated output powers to the network node (900), and then to receive the reported capabilities in response. The report may specify a per-antenna transmit power capability; this may be specifically requested in some cases. The received relay node power-class capability information for the backhaul and access links is then used for one or several network management functions, such as radio resources management or network planning and dimensioning.

    摘要: Embodiments herein include a method and a network node in a wireless communications network for controlling a maximum output power of the network node. The network node comprises a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver. The GNSS receiver receives signals from the GNSS. The method comprises determining whether a GNSS signal transmitted from the GNSS is considered detectable. If the GNSS signal is considered detectable, the method includes determining whether the GNSS signal is received directly from the GNSS or via a GNSS repeater. The method further includes selecting a power control method for controlling the maximum output power of the network node, based on at least one of the determination of whether the GNSS signal is considered detectable, and the determination of whether the GNSS signal is received directly from the GNSS or via the GNSS repeater.

    摘要: A radio base station generates a congestion status flag, based on measured resource usage in its cell, and based on performance of sessions in the cell. The flag may be a one bit, or a small number of bits, indicating whether the base station is congested. The flag can be sent to neighboring radio base stations, for use in determining whether to perform handovers to that radio base station. The flag generated in a radio base station, and the flags generated in neighboring radio base stations, can also be sent to user equipment in a cell.

    摘要: Although described herein in terms of UE out-of-sync detection, those of skill in the art will readily recognize that embodiments of the present invention improve in-sync detection for currently out-of-sync UEs 22. That is, if an out-of-sync UE 22 detects sufficiently good channel conditions, it may announce this fact to the network and re-acquire in-sync status. For example, if the UE 22 receives F-DPCH signal transmissions and determines that, e.g., the TPC command error rate is less than a threshold, which is preferably much lower than 30%, over a measurement interval of, e.g., 240 slots (or 160 ms), the UE 22 may conclude that it is in-sync and announce this fact to the network 10. The restrictions of only valid F-DPCH transmissions during the UL DTX gated period will obviously enhance the reliability of this determination, just as is the case in determining out-of-sync status. Furthermore, according to at least one embodiment, the UE 22 may disregard the DTX UL DPCCH state, and transmit a scheduling request during a UL DTX gated period to announce to the network 10 its in-sync status.

    摘要: In a multi-carrier wireless communication network, positioning-aware switching of a primary carrier from a first carrier to a second carrier for a UE is constrained to enable one or more positioning measurements to be performed. Either the selection of the second carrier, the timing of switching from the first to the second carrier, or both, are constrained to enable and enhance the positioning performance. The constraints may be operative at a serving node of the network, at a UE, or both. Further constraints may be applied to the network to enhance positioning performance. Carrier switching may be across Radio Access Technology (RAT), and the positioning constraints may include configuring or re-configuring a device to perform positioning measurements in measurement gaps (e.g., on a secondary carrier in LTE systems when Positioning Reference Signals are not transmitted on the primary carrier).

    摘要: In one aspect, the present invention provides a simple method of signaling reference signal muting information to receiving radio equipment, such as items of user equipment (UEs). The reference signals may be positioning reference signals and/or cell-specific reference signals, for example. In one or more embodiments, the present invention proposes a general solution whereby the receiving radio equipment is informed not only on whether muting is used in general in a cell, but also the particular timing and formatting of such muting. Further, the contemplated method provides for the use of dynamic muting patterns, and thus avoids the need for statically defined muting patterns, and provides for coordinated muting control, across two or more network cells. In at least one embodiment, static or less dynamic aspects of the muting configuration is signaled via higher-layer signaling, while lower-layer signaling is used to signal more dynamic aspects of the muting configuration.
