    Abstract: A technique is provided for allocating resources in a wireless network that includes one or more macro user devices served by a macro base station associated with a macro cell and a micro base station associated with a small cell that is served by the macro base station, including determining a portion of downlink resources allocated to a self-backhaul link between the macro base station and the micro base station for the small cell, determining that a threshold condition is exceeded with respect to the self-backhaul link for the small cell, and decreasing, based on the determining, the portion of downlink resources allocated to the self-backhaul link for the small cell.

    Abstract: A method includes estimating an uplink channel for a terminal device, based on an amount of antennas used by an access node for transmitting signals to the terminal device, antennas used for receiving the transmitted signals at the terminal device, and sub-bands used for transmitting the signals. Based on the estimation, a channel covariance matrix is determined for a precoder comprised in a transmitter of the access node by determining a limited number of elements of a full dimensional channel covariance matrix, which is different than the channel covariance matrix. The limited number of elements are elements corresponding to i-th row and j-th column of the channel covariance. Correlation computation is performed for the limited number of elements. Elements of the full-dimensional channel covariance matrix that are excluded from the limited number of elements are determined and set to be zero. Precoding is performed using the determined channel covariance matrix.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for realizing dynamic point selection improve the cell-edge throughput and geometric mean of release 8/9 UEs. The method comprises a step of receiving estimated channel quality reported by all the TPs in the CoMP set, a step of switching the serving TP for the UEs based on the estimated channel quality and/or cell load, a step of forwarding the scheduled data from the primary TP to the serving TP, a step of separately transmitting PDCCH to the UEs by the primary TP and transmitting PDSCH to the UEs by the serving TP. the implementation of the method and apparatus improves the cell-edge throughput and geometric mean of UE throughput by serving UEs instantaneously from the cell that provides better throughput accounting for fast time-scale channel fluctuations and/or load. It helps in reducing interference due to data getting drained faster when users are served from cells with better channel conditions.

    Abstract: Methods and Systems are disclosed for allocating a time-frequency resource of a large cell base station either to a selected first user equipment associated with the base station, or to a selected self-backhaul link associated with a small cell within the coverage area of the large cell base station. In embodiments, data is provided representing target allocation proportions of the time-frequency resource, for each of the first user equipment(s) and the one or more backhaul link(s). Allocations are made, for each of a series of time units or intervals, either to a selected first user equipment or backhaul link based on the target data.

    Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided a computing device for controlling terminal device uplink transmission power. Each terminal device is configured to determine uplink transmission power based on two power control parameters—a target received power for full pathloss compensation and a pathloss compensation coefficient. The computing device initializes a deep Q-learning network in which a state is defined as cell-specific pairs of the power control parameters, an action is defined as a selection of valid values of power control parameters for a cell and a reward is calculated based on the information on data traffic. The computing device trains the deep Q-learning network to approximate a Q value function, determines optimal power control parameters based on thereon and causes transmitting them to access nodes.
