Abstract:
A method in a network node downloads an upcoming web page to a user equipment. The network node obtains a first value, relating to the upcoming web page, of a set of features. The features represent any one out of: the upcoming web page, the user equipment, and a web browser in the user equipment. The network node predicts whether it is beneficial regarding download time to activate an uplink grant pre-allocation for the user equipment for downloading the upcoming web page. The prediction is based on a relationship between the first value and of a second value of the set of features, which second value is related to a previously downloaded web page, and an evaluation whether it is beneficial regarding download time to activate the uplink grant pre-allocation for the previously downloaded web page. The network node provides the prediction to a base station.
Abstract:
In a wireless communication system, the uplink transmission of measurement reports may be scheduled based on an estimated time of when a measurement report will be ready for transmission. The estimated time may be calculated at a base station or user equipment.
Abstract:
A method of operating a User Equipment, UE, in a wireless communication network. The UE is configured for Discontinuous Reception, DRX, operation with a DRX cycle having a DRX ON period in which the UE is in a DRX awake state and ready for reception and a DRX OFF period in which the UE is in a DRX sleep state. The UE determines whether an uplink packet to be transmitted is delay tolerant. The UE delays, when the uplink packet is regarded as delay tolerant, a request for an uplink transmission grant for the uplink packet until a DRX ON period of the UE. By delaying the request for an uplink transmission grant for a delay tolerant uplink packet until a DRX ON period of the UE, the UE does not have to wake up to listen to the response from the network during the DRX OFF period.
Abstract:
Methods and arrangements for mitigating or avoiding inter cell interference on a control channel on which scheduling request are transmitted from UEs to a serving base station. The solution relates to classifying the UEs based e.g. on the type of services applied by the UEs, and allocating resources on the control channel based on the classification.
Abstract:
A method, network node and a computer program product for controlling predictive scheduling in a wireless communication network (10) between a base station (12) applying predictive scheduling for a mobile station (20) according to an uplink transmission scheme, wherein the uplink transmission scheme schedules a plurality of uplink transmission grants to be transmitted from the base station to the mobile station without having received a scheduling request from the mobile station requesting the uplink transmission grants. The method comprises detecting channel quality for the mobile station and determining a periodicity of the uplink transmission grants based on the detected channel quality.
Abstract:
A method (200) for a controlling node of a cell (110) in a cellular system, the method comprising (205) the use of Radio Link Control Acknowledged Mode, RLC AM, and scheduling (210) transmissions in the downlink and uplink directions to/from User Equipments, UEs (115, 120, 125), in the cell (110). The scheduling comprises taking into account a priority which each UE has for its transmissions, and counting (215) the number of scheduled transmissions for a UE in a first of said directions since its latest scheduled transmission in the other of said directions. If (220) the count has reached a predetermined value, the priority of the UE in the other of said directions is increased (225), and when (230) the UE has been scheduled for a transmission in said other direction, the counting in said first direction is restarted (235) from an initial value.
