Abstract:
The present invention relates a User Equipment, UE (204) and a Radio Base Station (202, 206) and methods therein for contention resolution in general. Based on measured and analyzed measurements of a radio connection establishment response from each of at least a first and a second Radio Base Station, a UE receiving said radio connection establishment response can resolve the contention by selecting a RBS based on the received power of a set of DL reference signals as received by the UE, of the received power of the radio connection establishment responses, on timing of the received sets of reference signals, on timing of the radio connection establishment responses, on historic RBS selections, on priority level of the RBS, to mention a few alternatives.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and a communication network node for automatically tuning a PRACH configuration parameter in a communication network system comprising radio base stations each serving at least one cell and with which user equipments are communicating on uplink and downlink channels. The PRACH configuration parameter is used for defining the division of uplink resource blocks between PRACH and PUSCH. Load statistics on RACH and PUSCH are collected used for determining a number of RACH opportunities required per time unit. Then a new PRACH configuration parameter having said required number of RACH opportunities per time unit is selected which is replacing the old PRACH configuration parameter.
Abstract:
In a method of improved channel-sounding transmissions between a base station in communication with a user equipment in a telecommunication system, the user equipment receiving (S0) an assigned channel-sounding transmission pattern from the base station, and transmitting (S1) a channel-sounding signal to the base station based on the assigned channel-sounding transmission pattern and on available uplink data at the user equipment.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method, user equipment and a base station adapted to handle channel state feedback reports in a more flexible way. More specifically, a channel state feedback procedure is provided which utilizes the resources available for transmission of channel state feedback more efficiently. This is achieved by including uplink grant availability into the channel state feedback reporting triggers used for determining when and how to send channel state feedback from a UE, i.e. a channel state feedback reporting request may be sent by a base station in an uplink grant to a UE comprising an indication of an expected amount of information to be returned.
Abstract:
A method and arrangement in a node for allocating transmission resources is presented. The present method and arrangement for scheduling, allocates frequency resources based on the received signal power of user equipment. Thus in particular uplink power can be better utilized. According to the present method and arrangement the resource blocks are distributed so that the SINR of all scheduled user equipments reach a selected SINR target. The selection of SINR targets may be static or dynamic. Further, according to the present method and arrangement, optimization of system and user performance may be combined.
Abstract:
Channel state feedback is provided from a UE (800) to a base station (700) as a first, detailed or a second, less detailed type of channel state feedback information. Initially it is determined (403) whether the UE has received an uplink grant from the base station or not. If the UE has received an uplink grant, a first type of channel state feedback information is transmitted (404) to the base station on the granted resource. If, however, the UE has not received an uplink grant, a second type of channel state feedback information is transmitted (405) to the base station. Different types of channel state feedback information enables a UE and an associated base station to use available resources more efficiently, when requesting for and delivering channel state feedback information.
