Abstract:
The present solution provides a method in a base station (110) for selecting one or more user equipments (120) to be scheduled for a transmission. After receiving (201) channel state information from the respective one or more user equipments (120), the base station (110) estimates (202) the throughput of the transmission of the respective one or more user equipments (120). The throughput is based on the received channel state information. The base station (110) further estimates (203) the consumption of throughput that is expected for transmitting scheduling information to each of the respective one or more user equipments (120). The base station then selects (204) the respective one or more user equipments (120) to be scheduled for transmission based on a criterion. The criterion is based on the estimated throughput and the estimated consumption of throughput that is expected for transmitting the scheduling information to the respective one or more user equipments (120).
Abstract:
The embodiments herein relate to a method in a user equipment for handling CSI in a communication system. The user equipment determines the CSI, based on information about a CPICH. The CSI comprises at least one of a CQI, a RI, a PCI and an HARQ ACK/NACK. The user equipment transmits the CSI multiplexed into a plurality of TTIs to the base station so that a first CQI-S is transmitted in one TTI and a second CQI-S or a DTX codeword is transmitted in another TTI. The second CQI-S corresponds to a second layer.
Abstract:
Methods and devices of controlling impact from interference from transmission to a 4-branch Multiple Input Multiple Output, MIMO, enabled User Equipment, UE, in a cellular radio system where legacy non 4-branch MIMO UEs co-exist are provided. The control involves determining an estimated Channel Quality Indicator, CQI, delay, and based on the estimated CQI delay determining if there exists a CQI under-estimation or CQI over-estimation. The control of the impact from high rank interference from transmission to the 4-branch MIMO enabled UE is based on a determined CQI under-estimation or CQI over-estimation.
Abstract:
A method of communicating with a wireless terminal may include providing first information (e.g. SIR or rate) responsive to receiving first and second multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) data streams from the wireless terminal through a first antenna array of a first sector during a first transmission time interval. Second information (e.g. SIR or rate) may be provided responsive to receiving the first and second MIMO data streams from the wireless terminal through a second antenna array of a second sector during the first transmission time interval, TTI, with the first and second sectors being different and the first and second antenna arrays being different. An offset value may be generated responsive to the first information and/or the second information, with the offset value defining a difference between the first and second MIMO data streams for a second transmission time interval (e.g. difference between data rates of first and second MIMO data streams), and the offset value may be transmitted to the wireless terminal.
Abstract:
At least one transport data block is transmitted from a first sector of anetwork over a downlink to a wireless terminal during a time resource element for a multi-flow downlink transmission to the wireless terminal, and at least one transport data block is transmitted from a second sector of the network over a downlink to the wireless terminal during the time resource element for the multi-flow downlink transmission. A feedback message is received for the time resource element from the wireless terminal, wherein the feedback message includes a HARQ-ACK codeword selected from a HARQ-ACK codebook providing HARQ- ACK feedback for the at least one transport data block transmitted from the first sector and for the at least one transport data block transmitted from the second sector. The HARQ-ACK codeword is interpreted for the at least one transport data block transmitted from the first sector based on the first sector being a primary sector for the multi-flow downlink transmission.
