摘要: It is presented a method for controlling cyclic shift for demodulation reference symbols for uplink communication in a cellular communication network. The method is performed in a network node and comprises the steps of: determining a first cyclic shift parameter for demodulation reference symbols based on a current subframe index; generating a control message comprising the first cyclic shift parameter; and transmitting the control message to a wireless device of the cellular communication network. Corresponding network nodes, computer program and computer program product are also presented.

摘要: There is provided a method for managing transmission of a Cell-specific Reference Signal, CRS, comprising a plurality of reference symbols to User Equipment, UE, in a wireless communication system operating at least one cell or sector. The method comprises identifying a UE for which a beamformed transmission of data is scheduled during a transmission time interval, and enabling, during the transmission time interval, beamformed transmission of at least part of the reference symbols of the CRS for targeting the identified UE.

摘要: Systems and methods for estimating Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) for Multi-User Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) based on channel orthogonality. In some embodiments, a method performed by a radio access node includes obtaining a SU-MIMO signal quality measurement for at least a first user and an additional user; obtaining an indication of orthogonality between a channel of the first user and a channel of the additional user; and estimating a MU-MIMO signal quality measurement for the first user as if the first user and the additional user are paired with each other for a potential MU-MIMO transmission based on the SU-MIMO signal quality measurements and the indication of orthogonality. In this way, a computational complexity for the SINR estimation of MU-MIMO users can be greatly reduced. This may enable a large number of user pairing alternatives to be evaluated in practical wireless systems to achieve improved MU-MIMO performance.

摘要: A method in a first node (610, 615) is disclosed. The method comprises determining (704) a time resource over which the first node transmits a signal to a second node (610, 615). The method comprises signaling (708), to at least one of the second node or a third node (610, 615), information about one or more transient time parameters associated with the time resource, wherein the one or more transient time parameters are used by the first node for transmitting the signal to the second node during the time resource. The method comprises adapting (712) a transmitter configuration of the first node for transmitting the signal to the second node based on one of the one or more transient time parameters.

摘要: A method and a first network node (800) serving a first cell (800A) in a wireless network, for enabling reduction of interference in a second cell (800B) caused by transmission of reference signals in the first cell (800A). The first network node (800) transmits (8:1) scheduling blocks with said reference signals, using a time offset relative transmission of scheduling blocks in the second cell. A timing advance value is determined (8:3) for a wireless device (802) and the wireless device (802) instructed (8:4) to apply said timing advance value for uplink transmissions. The timing advance value was determined such that uplink symbols transmitted from the wireless device (802) are aligned with uplink symbols received at a second network node (804) of the second cell (804A).

摘要: Embodiments of a method in a base station for precoding a downlink transmission are disclosed. In some embodiments, the method comprises obtaining, for a time instant k, an estimate of a channel matrix for a wireless channel for a downlink from the base station to a wireless device and projecting the estimate of the channel matrix onto one or more sets of spatial orthonormal functions, thereby obtaining respective sets of coefficients. The method further comprises, for each set of spatial orthonormal functions, filtering the set of coefficients for the time instant k based on a filtering parameter that is specific to a downlink channel to be transmitted. The method further comprises generating beamforming weights using the filtered set of coefficients for at least one of the sets of spatial orthonormal functions, and precoding the downlink channel using the beamforming weights.

摘要: A method and a network node (700) serving a first cell in a wireless network, for reducing interference in a second cell caused by transmission of reference signals in the first cell. The network node (700) transmits (7:2) in the first cell a scheduling block where a number of said reference signals are located in predefined resource element positions in the scheduling block, using a time offset relative transmission of a scheduling block in the second cell. Thereby, the impact of interference from a reference signal from one network node will be distributed over several resource elements in the other network node so that the impact in each resource element is reduced, as compared to when all interference from the reference signal hits one single resource element when no time offset is used.

摘要: A scheduling function node (SF) uses the beams available for each WCD to avoid scheduling a transmission that would imply that interference between WCDs is created. In the simplest form such a scheme could be described as follows: (1) avoid scheduling transmission in directions that coincide between WCDs (here, a direction would typically be represented by both azimuth and elevation angles) and (2) when the available beam directions do not allow interference avoidance, accounting for this fact and exploiting other types of orthogonality in the scheduling of time-frequency resources.
