Abstract:
A method is provided where a set of beams is transmitted from an access point in a first sweeping order in a first cell. The beams transmit a reference signal. A first subset of the beams is configured to be transmitted in a neighbor zone direction of the first cell, within a first common block of time as a second subset of beams being transmitted in a second cell in a neighbor zone direction. Each beam of the first and second subsets of beams are transmitted at different times in the first common block of time.
Abstract:
The present invention addresses method, apparatus and computer program product for dynamic cell clustering for Coordinated Multipoint operation. Clustering metric information defining relevant metrics for making cell clustering decision for Coordinated Multipoint operation are received from a network element serving a neighboring cell, and based on the received clustering metric information, it is decided whether to include the neighboring cell to a cluster for Coordinated Multipoint operation.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus may include transmitting a first transmission to a user equipment. The first transmission is transmitted using a first hybrid-automatic-repeat-request process. The method may also include transmitting a second transmission using the first hybrid-automatic-repeat-request process. The second transmission is transmitted before receiving a hybrid-automatic-repeat-request feedback for the first transmission if all hybrid-automatic-repeat-request processes for the user equipment are currently in use.
Abstract:
There are provided measures for dynamic quality of service management. Such measures exemplarily include queuing, for a bearer being a virtual connection with associated bearer transmission attributes aggregating at least one packet flow of packets, each of said at least one packet flow separately, and prioritizing each of said at least one packet flow based on a desired treatment of said respective packet flow.
Abstract:
It is provided a method, including coupling respective portions of a transmission resource to fixed beams in a 1:1 relationship such that the portions coupled to different fixed beams do not overlap, wherein the transmission resource is foreseen for transmission by the cell, each of the fixed beams is defined by a fixed beam weight vector, and a number of the fixed beams is predefined and equal to or larger than 2; allocating one of the fixed beams and the portion of the transmission resource coupled to the one of the fixed beams to a terminal; configuring a transmitting device to transmit to the terminal in the fixed beam and the portion of the transmission resource allocated to the terminal.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus relating to feedback in a communication system. The method includes receiving feedback relating to a transmission slot; and subsequently determining the type of transmission slot the feedback relates to.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products relating to coordinated scheduling with adaptive muting are provided. One method comprises transmitting, by a network element, calculated impact information for a cell of the network element when taking an action related to a cell of the network element and/or taking an action related to a cell of a second network element. The method may also comprise transmitting a request for taking the action related to the cell of the second network element under certain circumstances
