Abstract:
There is a method comprising determining a beamforming configuration for a time period for reception of uplink data from a user device, determining uplink power control information based on the determined beamforming configuration and providing an indication of the determined uplink power control information to the user device for use in determining uplink transmit power for the time period.
Abstract:
There is provided a method comprising providing configuration information to a user device to allow the user device to operate using a first feedback mode for at least one first resource of a set of resources and providing configuration information to the user device to allow the user device to operate using a second feedback mode for the rest of the set of resources, such that the user device is capable of operating using both the first feedback mode and the second feedback mode for the set of resources.
Abstract:
Communication systems, such as the long tem evolution (LTE) of the third generation partnership project (3GPP) may benefit from various optimizations, such as optimizations related to smart phone technology. More particularly, diverse data applications may benefit from enhancements such as physical uplink control channel optimization. According to certain embodiments, a method can include configuring, with radio resource control signaling, a physical uplink control channel resource to one or more devices. The method can also include indicating to each device of the one or more devices, which part of the resource to use.
Abstract:
A technique including determining that a first access node serving a communication device is currently in a dormant, first state in which said first access node is not receiving radio transmissions; and controlling a radio transmitter or radio transceiver at said communication device to transmit a radio signal that triggers at least one second access node to alert said first access node of a request for said first access node to switch from said first state to a second state in which said first access node receives radio transmissions.
Abstract:
There is, for example, provided a method, including receiving a scheduling plan from at least one network node of at least one neighboring cell, wherein the each scheduling plan includes an indication of a planned radio resource utilization ratio by the neighboring cell in at least one frequency range during a coming time period; scheduling a user terminal with radio resources on a specific frequency range; and determining a modulation and coding scheme for the user terminal at least partly on the basis of the at least one indicated scheduling plan for the specific frequency range, wherein the modulation and coding scheme is to be applied in data transmission of the user terminal in a certain subframe within the coming time period.

Abstract:
A method including determining whether an apparatus is to operate in a first, second or third mode of operation; wherein said first mode of operation includes a first level of activity, said second mode of operation includes a second level of activity that is lower than said first level of activity, and said third mode of operation includes a third level of activity that is lower than said second level of activity; applying a first reference signal transmission regime when in said second mode of operation; and applying a second reference signal transmission regime when in said third mode of operation.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus can be configured to transmit a physical-resource-block muting request to a neighboring network entity. The method can also include transmitting at least one muting priority level for at least one physical-resource-block of the physical-resource-block muting request.
