    摘要: The invention comprises a method for controlling an outage of a network element (300) in a cellular network (40) using an outage database (130), the outage database containing for each of a plurality of the network elements (300) controlled by the cellular network at least the following network element dependent information: first operating parameters describing an error free operation of the corresponding network element, outage detection rules indicating when a outage for the corresponding network element is present, outage compensation rules indicating how the outage of the corresponding network element should be compensated, the outage compensation rules including compensation parameters to be used by compensating network elements (300b-300g) in order to compensate the outage of one of the network elements (300a). The method comprises the steps of: continuously receiving current operating parameters for a plurality of network elements (300), updating the first operating parameters and the outage detection rules for the plurality of network elements taking into account the current operating parameters, detecting an outage for one of the network elements by comparing the received current operating parameters to the outage detection rules for said one network element, wherein if an outage is detected for said one network element, determining and applying the outage compensation rules for said one network element (300a), wherein applying the compensation rules includes optimizing the compensation parameters in order to calculate optimized operating parameters for the compensating network elements (300b-300g) used to compensate for the outage of said one network element, evaluating the application of the compensation rules, and storing the optimized operating parameters in the compensation rules as starting parameters for a future optimization of the compensation parameters in case of an outage of said one network element in dependence on the evaluation.

    摘要: Embodiments herein relate to a method in a transmitting radio node (12) for scheduling service data flows within a radio bearer towards a receiving radio node (10) in a radio communications network (1). The transmitting radio node (12) identifies at least two service data flows within the radio bearer towards the receiving radio node (10), where each service data flow is associated with a service and/or a service quality requirement. The service and/or the service quality requirement is different for respective service data flow. The transmitting radio node (12) maps a Packet Data Convergence Protocol, PDCP, Service Data Unit, SDU, of respective service data flow to a respective scheduling queue on a PDCP layer. Each scheduling queue is associated with the service and/or the service quality requirement of the respective service data flow. The transmitting radio node (12) schedules the PDCP SDUs within the scheduling queues of the at least two service data flows, to the receiving radio node (10), based on the service and/or the service quality requirement associated with the respective scheduling queue on the PDCP layer.

    摘要: According to some embodiments, a method performed by a non-real time radio access network intelligent controller (NonRT-RIC) network node comprises obtaining data for improving radio resource management (RRM) of a radio access network (RAN) and building an A1 interface message comprising one or more enrichment information (EI) elements based on the obtained data. Each of the one or more EI elements comprises an identifier of one or more wireless devices, a type indicator indicating a type of enrichment data included in the EI element, and the enrichment data. The method further comprises transmitting the AI interface message to a near real time radio access network intelligent controller (NearRT-RIC).

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a method (20) for initiating a blind handover of a terminal (2) in a wireless communications system (1). The terminal (2) is served by a first cell using a first frequency band and a first radio access technology, wherein the wireless communications system (1) employs a method for dynamically changing coverage in at least one of the first cell and a second cell. The method (20) comprises estimating (21) the coverage in the second cell, wherein at least one of a second frequency band and a second radio access technology of the second cell may differ from the first frequency band and the first radio access technology, an initiating (22) the blind handover for the terminal (2) to the second cell only if the estimated coverage in the second cell meets a criterion. A wireless communications system (1), computer programs and computer program products are also provided.
