Abstract:
Methods, a first, and a second network node as well as a user equipment for exchange of measurement period related parameters are provided. The user equipment (140) performs a method for measuring at least one measurement quantity on a second cell on a second carrier operated by a second radio network node (120). The user equipment (140) receives (203), from the second radio network node (120), an indication indicative of the second carrier and a first parameter to be used by the user equipment for measuring said at least one measurement quantity. The first parameter relates to at least a first measurement period. The user equipment (140) determines (205) the first measurement period based on the first parameter. Moreover, the user equipment (140) measures (207) said at least one measurement quantity on at least the second cell on the second carrier over the first measurement period. The second network node (120) performs a method for providing the first parameter to be used by the user equipment (140). The second network node (120) sends (203), to the user equipment (140), the first parameter and the indication indicative of the second carrier. The first parameter is determined based on a specific length of the first measurement period.
Abstract:
A base station determines a muting configuration for reference signal (RS) transmission as a pattern defined by the combination of a muting sequence and a reference point. Muting occasions for a given wireless communication network cell may be differentiated from another cell by use of a different muting sequence, a different reference point, or both. Wireless communication apparatuses such as User Equipments (UEs) determine when the reference signals are muted in the cell based on the periodic muting sequence and the reference point received in assistance data transmitted by the base station. The network may alternatively utilize a common muting sequence with different reference points, a common reference point with different muting sequences, or different sequences and different reference points across multiple cells.

Abstract:
The invention involves a sort of curved film projection system, including a rendering surface, a projection screen, a real scene rendering model of image system, a rendering model of projection system that renders the projection the image rendered by the rendering model of image system on the rendering surface, and projecting devices that projects the image finally rendered by the rendering model of projection system onto the projection screen through optical lens. The viewing direction and angle from observer's eyes to the rendering surface is consistent with that to the projection screen: The image system rendering model can be reversible on optical path with the projection system rendering model. The curved film projection system not only reduces the rendering cost, but also produces lifelike experience for audience.
Abstract:
In one aspect of the invention presented herein, a mobile terminal requests positioning assistance data from its supporting wireless communication network, in response to receiving a positioning request from a positioning node. Further, in response to receiving the positioning assistance data from the network, the mobile terminal sends the positioning assistance data to the positioning node. In this manner, the positioning node advantageously gains access to network-generated positioning assistance data without need for requesting it from the network. In at least one embodiment, the mobile terminal receives the positioning request from the positioning node over a User Plane (UP) connection. However, the mobile terminal sends the positioning assistance data request to the base station over a Control Plane (CP) connection, and receives the requested positioning assistance data via the CP. The terminal transfers that data to the UP and sends it to the positioning node.
Abstract:
A method in a controller for a first cell in a mobile cellular network for making a decision to handover a user equipment to a second cell of the mobile cellular network is described. The method may include obtaining a first measurement of an uplink signal from a user equipment at the first cell, obtaining a second measurement of an uplink signal from the user equipment at the second cell, and making a decision to handover the user equipment from the first cell to the second cell using the obtained first and second measurements.
Abstract:
Embodiments are disclosed which improve the accuracy of measurement quantities obtained based on filtered measurements, by enabling filter memory reset events triggered by specific configuration and/or reconfiguration commands. According to some embodiments, a method for obtaining a measurement quantity is provided. The measurement quantity is based on a filtered reference signal (RS) measurement value. The method is executed in a wireless device, e.g. a user equipment (UE). According to the method, the wireless device receives (1410) a filter reset indication. In response to the indication, the wireless device resets (1420) one or more RS measurement filters. The wireless device then obtains (1430) a new filtered RS measurement value, and obtains (1440) the measurement quantity based on the new filtered RS measurement value.
Abstract:
A method of operating a node of a communications network comprises the node requesting a user equipment unit to prepare a measurement report concerning a measurement object. The measurement report includes (a) a measurement result for the measurement object as measured from a current serving cell and a measurement result for the measurement object as measured from a neighbor cell; and (b) additional measurement reporting including measurements that are available at the user equipment unit from multiple serving carriers. The method further comprises the node configuring the user equipment unit to ensure that the user equipment unit includes a reference signal received power (RSRP) value for the measurement result for the measurement object as measured from the neighbor cell.
Abstract:
Embodiments herein relate to a method in a radio network node (12) for enabling an enhanced cell Identity, E-CID, timing measurement for positioning of a user equipment (10) in a cell (11) served by the radio network node (12). The radio network node (12) obtains information that the user equipment (10) in the cell (11) is requested to perform an E-CID timing measurement. The radio network node (12) then configures uplink and/or downlink signals that are needed to perform the E-CID timing measurement.
