There is provided a method in a node in a first access network, the method comprising sending (710) a first set of thresholds and/or conditions to a terminal, the first set of thresholds and/or conditions defining situations in which (a) the terminal should send a measurement report to the first access network with respect to a second access network, or (b) the terminal should connect to the second access network and/or steer at least some traffic to the second access network; and sending (720) a second set of thresholds and/or conditions to the terminal, the second set of thresholds and/or conditions defining situations in which, (c) the terminal should send a measurement report to the first access network regarding at least the second access network or (d) the terminal should disconnect from the second access network and/or connect to the first access network and/or steer at least some traffic to the first access network.

The present invention provides a muting configuration for reference signal (RS) transmission as a pattern defined by at least the combination of a muting sequence and a reference point. Muting occasions for a given wireless communication network cell (20) thus are differentiated from another cell by use of a different muting sequence, a different reference point, or both. Moreover, in one or more embodiments, the present invention provides for the use of a common muting sequence or reference point across cells (20), with muting occasions being differentiated between cells (20) through use of different reference points (in the case of a common muting sequence), or through use of different muting sequences (in the case of a common reference point), or different sequences and different reference points. Such arrangements simplify the signaling needed to control or indicate the muting configuration in use in the cells of interest, provide an advantageous basis for propagating muting configurations among cells (20), eliminate the need for predefined muting configurations, and the need for blind detection of muting by wireless communication apparatuses (14), such as UEs.

For protecting transmission of a control message (60) in a mobile communications network between a first access node (10a) and a user equipment, an indication of at least one protected time-slot for transmitting the control message may be transmitted in response to a need for transmitting the control message (60). The indication is transmitted between the first access node (10a) and a second access node (10b). Transmission of the indication prompts reduction of spectral interference caused by the second access node (10b) during the at least one protected time-slot (30).
摘要:
There is provided support mechanisms for at least one adding and removing a cell from operation in a heterogeneous radio network having a first type of basic cell for providing basic radio coverage and a second type of cell associated to a basic cell as a capacity enhancing cell. A capacity enhancing cell is selectively switched on and off. When the capacity enhancing cell is shut down the cell does not exist over the air while cell configuration information is kept. When the capacity enhancing cell is switched on the cell becomes available again over the air interface. An indication of shut-down and a wake-up call message for switch-on of the capacity enhancing cell are communicated between a base station serving the capacity enhancing cell and a base station serving the basic cell. In this way energy savings can be supported without disrupting service availability.
