Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to managing decoding of system information blocks (SIBs) at a user equipment (UE) and managing SIB transmissions at a base station. For example, the described aspects at the UE may include detecting a trigger event for decoding one or more SIBs received from a cell and determining to avoid decoding of at least one SIB received from the cell in response to the detected trigger event and a mobility pattern of the UE. The described aspect at the UE may further include using a stored version of the at least one SIB for communication with the first cell.
Abstract:
Noise floor degradation detection may be provided. First, an incremental packet loss rate for a secondary radio may be calculated that indicates an impact on packet reception on the secondary radio due to transmissions by a primary radio. The secondary radio and the primary radio may comprise an access point. Next, it may be determined that the incremental packet loss rate is greater than a predetermined value. A configuration of the access point may be changed in response to determining that the incremental packet loss rate is greater than the predetermined value.
Abstract:
A source network node and a target network node, as well as respective methods performed thereby, for providing mobility to wireless devices are provided. The source and target network nodes are operable in a wireless communication network. The method (100) performed by the source network node comprises, when an uplink received signal quality from the wireless device does not meet a quality threshold, transmitting (130) scheduling information related to an upcoming uplink transmission of the wireless device to one or more potential target network nodes. The method further comprises obtaining (140) respective uplink signal quality for the respective potential target network node(s); and triggering (150) handover to a target network node if a handover criterion is fulfilled based on the respective uplink signal quality.
Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a wireless communication node that receives instructions in a control channel directing it to utilize a spectral segment at a first carrier frequency to communicate with a mobile communication device. Responsive to the instructions, the wireless communication node receives a modulated signal in the spectral segment at a second carrier frequency from the base station, the modulated signal including communications data provided by the base station. The wireless communication node down-shifts the modulated signal at the second carrier frequency to the first carrier frequency, and wirelessly transmits the modulated signal at the first carrier frequency to the mobile communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
Network nodes and methods therein are provided for Master eNB-handover of a UE in Dual Connectivity. A provided method to be performed by a network node operable to be a Target MeNB for the UE comprises receiving a request for handover of a UE in Dual Connectivity from a Source MeNB to the Target MeNB, where the request comprises information about the UE Context of the UE at a Secondary eNB, SeNB. The method further comprises establish a signaling connection with the SeNB based on the information about a UE Context. Thereby, an inter-MeNB without change of SeNB is enabled in an efficient manner.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for handling undesirable inter-frequency cell changes are disclosed. A small cell base station receives a request to perform a cell change of a user equipment (UE) from a base station serving the UE to the small cell base station, wherein the base station serving the UE is operating on a different frequency than the small cell base station, receives, from the base station, parameters related to one or more previous cell changes performed by the UE, and determines whether or not the cell change is desirable based on the parameters related to the one or more previous cell changes.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a method for operating a network node in a cellular communication network. The method comprises observing or estimating, for a user equipment in a dual connectivity operation, a length of a measurement gap (Mg) and/or length of serving cell interruption (Tint) caused by the UE on at least one serving cell. The method also comprises comparing the Mg and/or Tint with respective thresholds, and determining whether the UE operates in unsynchronized or synchronized DC mode based on the comparison. There are also disclosed further related methods and devices.
