    摘要: Methods of operating a DU node of a radio access network are disclosed. The DU node is coupled to a CU node over an F1 interface, and the DU node performs a setup procedure with the CU node over the F1 interface for an RRC connection with respect to a wireless device UE. A setup request message is transmitted to the CU node, wherein the setup request message includes an indication of a latest RRC version supported by the DU node. A setup response message is received from the CU node, wherein this message includes an indication of an RRC version supported by the CU node and by the UE. An RRC connection is established with the UE using the RRC version indicated in the setup response message. Related methods of operating a CU node are also discussed.

    摘要: A method for selecting one or more secondary cells, SCells for supporting communication with a user equipment, UE, by carrier aggregation, CA. The one or more SCells is/are selected from a set of SCell candidates available for an access node. The method includes estimating a probability that the UE connected to a primary cell, PCell, of the access node is in coverage of an SCell in the set of candidates, predicting available resources for the SCell, calculating a CA value for the SCell based on the estimated probability, an estimated spectral efficiency and the predicted available resources, and calculating a CA value for each SCell of the set of SCell candidates, ranking the SCells of the set of SCell candidates based on their calculated CA values, and selecting one or more SCells for providing CA with the UE based on the ranking.

    摘要: 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 performs a method for measuring a measurement quantity of a secondary cell on a second carrier operated by a second radio network node. The user equipment receives, from the second radio network node, an indication indicative of the second carrier and a first parameter indicating a measurement period for measuring the measurement quantity of the secondary cell. The user equipment measures said measurement quantity on the secondary cell on the second carrier over the measurement period. The measurement period is a predefined value times the first parameter.

    摘要: Methods and arrangements in a base station and a User Equipment are provided. The methods and arrangements relates to the scenario when the UE is handed over from a source base station to a target base station in a handover scenario, and wherein the target base station may not support functionalities which the source base station and the UE support. The method in the UE comprises receiving (501) a configuration message from the target base station via the source base station, configuring (502) the UE based on the received configuration message from the target base station by searching (503) for a second field in an information element of the received configuration message. The presence /non-presence or a value of the second field is indicative of how to manage a configured first functionality associated with an optional first field, wherein the configured first functionality may not be supported by the target base station.

    摘要: A target cell for handover of a wireless device from a source cell to the target cell is provided. The target cell includes processing circuitry configured to: determine to configure the source cell as a downlink carrier aggregation secondary cell, DL CA SCell, for the wireless device, and cause transmission of an indication to the source cell to at least one of: temporarily retain, after the handover, at least a portion of information specific to the wireless device; and transmit the at least the portion of information specific to the wireless device to the target cell. The indication is based at least in part on the determination.
