Abstract:
Methods, apparatus and computer programs are disclosed for controlling the output of a transmission point. One embodiment provides a method for controlling the output of a transmission point for a wireless communications network. The method comprises: determining an average output power of the transmission point over a period of time; comparing the average output power to an output power reference value; and allocating data, to be transmitted by the transmission point to one or more wireless devices, to a pool of radio resources. The pool of radio resources is adjusted as a function of the comparison between the average output power and the output power reference value.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed, performed by a non-serving network node (101) of a wireless communication network (100) for communicating uplink signals sent by a UE (110). The wireless communication network further comprises a serving network node (102) responsible for transmitting downlink signals to the UE (110). The non-serving network node (101) is capable of receiving uplink signals sent by the UE (110). The method comprises receiving an uplink signal sent by the UE, the signal comprising transmitter processed information representing a dedicated physical uplink channel, dedicated for the UE, receiver processing the received uplink signal to obtain the information representing the dedicated physical uplink channel from the received uplink signal, and sending the obtained information representing the dedicated physical uplink channel to the serving network node.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method performed by a non-serving network node (101) of a wireless communication network (100) for handling uplink signals sent by a UE (110) wherein the wireless communication network further comprises a serving network node (102) responsible for transmitting downlink signals to the UE (110), and wherein the non-serving network node (101) is capable of receiving uplink signals sent by the UE (110). The method comprises receiving, from the serving network node or from an RNC (120) to which the non-serving network node is connected, information enabling receiver processing of an uplink signal sent by the UE, the uplink signal comprising transmitter processed information representing a Dedicated Physical Control Channel for High Speed Downlink Shared Channel, HS-DPCCH, dedicated for the UE. The method further comprises receiving the uplink signal from the UE, receiver processing the received uplink signal based on the received information enabling receiver processing to obtain the information representing the HS-DPCCH, and sending the obtained information representing the HS-DPCCH to the serving network node or the RNC.
Abstract:
There is provided mechanisms for controlling total average transmission power of a radio base station over a fixed time period. A method is performed by a control device. The method comprises obtaining values of average total transmission power of at least one previous transmission from the radio base station. The method comprises determining a resource factor value from the value of average total transmission power and a set point value of the average total transmission power. The method comprises determining, based on the resource factor value, an action that restricts the amount of code-division multiple access (CDMA) resources to be used at least for a current transmission. The method comprises controlling the total average transmission power over the fixed time period by initiating the determined action at least for the current transmission.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for controlling uplink (UL) power allocation in a user equipment (UE) operating in a communication network are provided. The method includes: selecting between at least a first UL power allocation technique and a second power allocation technique for use in the UE; and using the selected power allocation technique in the UE to transmit uplink data by allocating transmit power between at least two carriers on which the uplink data is transmitted.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method performed by a first network node of a wireless communication network (100) for handling uplink signals sent by a UE (110). The wireless communication network comprises a serving network node (102) responsible for transmitting downlink signals to the UE (110), and a non-serving network node (101) capable of receiving uplink signals sent by the UE (110). The non-serving network node is the first network node and the serving network node is a second network node of the communication network, or alternatively the non- serving network node is the second network node and the serving network node is the first network node. The method comprises receiving (202) an uplink signal from the UE, the signal comprising information representing a dedicated physical channel dedicated for the UE, measuring (204) signal quality on the received uplink signal, and receiving (206) signal quality information from the second network node regarding signal quality measured by the second network node on the uplink signal received by the second network node, thus enabling detection in the first network node of imbalances in experienced signal quality between the first network node and the second network node.
