    摘要: According to an aspect there is provided a method in a base station that is to operate in a full duplex communication mode. The method comprises sending respective device-to-device, D2D, announcement configurations to one or more first wireless devices that have data to transmit to the base station. A D2D announcement configuration configures a first wireless device to perform a respective D2D announcement. The method also comprises sending a D2D announcement monitoring configuration to one or more second wireless devices that the base station has data to transmit to. A D2D announcement monitoring configuration configures a second wireless device to monitor for a D2D announcement transmitted by one or more first wireless devices. Next, the method comprises determining information relating to receipt of D2D announcements by the one or more second wireless devices according to the D2D announcement monitoring configuration, and identifying, based on the determined information, an uplink, UL, wireless device from the one or more first wireless devices and a downlink, DL, wireless device from the one or more second wireless devices for a full duplex communication in which the UL wireless device is to transmit data to the base station and the base station is to transmit data to the DL wireless device.

    摘要: A method, performed by a user equipment (UE), is provided. The method includes: obtaining a channel hardening (CH) parameter; changing a measurement parameter based on the obtained CH parameter; and adapting a measurement procedure in accordance with the changed parameter. A method performed by a network node, the method includes obtaining a channel hardening (CH) parameter corresponding to a user equipment (UE); and sending to the UE an indication that the UE is allowed to perform optimizations based on the obtained CH parameter.

    摘要: An aspect of an embodiment provides a method for controlling channel quality monitoring in a wireless communication system that utilises beamforming, whereby a plurality of signals are transmitted from a base station to a user equipment and the quality of a received signal is measured at the user equipment for each of the plurality of signals, each of the plurality of signals being transmitted by the base station utilising a different frequency sub-band and beam pairing. The method includes: identifying plural frequency sub-band and beam pairings for which the received signal quality is correlated; and, for each frequency sub-band and beam pairing within a group of plural frequency sub-band and beam pairings for which the received signal quality is correlated, evaluating the periodicity of a received signal quality analysis process, and determining whether or not to adjust the periodicity.

    摘要: A method in a terminal device of a wireless network, the wireless network further comprising first and second radio access nodes, the method comprising: repeatedly measuring one or more metrics for signals transmitted by the first radio access node and signals transmitted by the second radio access node. A frequency with which the one or more metrics are measured varies as a function of one or more of: a difference between the values of the one or more metrics for signals transmitted by the first radio access node and the values of the one or more metrics for signals transmitted by the second radio access node; and a rate of change of the difference between the values of the one or more metrics for signals transmitted by the first radio access node and the values of the one or more metrics for signals transmitted by the second radio access node.
