Abstract:
It is presented a method performed in a first network node. The method comprises the steps of: receiving an uplink transmission from a mobile communication terminal; determining, based on content of the uplink transmission, information to be transmitted over a first communication channel when the content comprises control data intended for a second network node; transmitting the information over the first communication channel to the second network node when the information is to be transmitted over the first communication channel; and transmitting the information via a second communication channel, the second communication channel being physically separate from the first communication channel, when the information is not to be transmitted over the first communication channel. A corresponding network node is also presented.
Abstract:
Methods and arrangements in a telecommunication network for intercell interference coordination. The telecommunication network comprises a first base station, acting as serving base station for a mobile station, and a second base station. The method comprises determining that transmission interference to the mobile station is to be limited. The method also comprises triggering the mobile station to send a signal on a radio resource, which signal is to be received by the second base station, enabling the second base station to select a transmission parameter that limits interference for the mobile station.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a unified, rank independent mapping between antenna ports and group/code pairs. Each antenna port is uniquely associated with one code division multiplexing (CDM) group and one orthogonal cover code (OCC). The mapping between antenna ports and group/code pairs is chosen such that, for a given antenna port, the CDM group and OCC will be the same for every transmission rank.
