Abstract:
A method (400) for use in a wireless communications system (100) with a first transceiver (110) and a second transceiver (130) which communicate with each other, which system is a TDD-system, with communication divided into time frames with time slots. According to the method, the first transceiver transmits (410) a dedicated signal for use as a communications quality indicator by the second transceiver, and the second transceiver reports (420) measurements of the dedicated signal to the first transceiver. The dedicated signal is by the first transceiver in one or more TDD time slots, and the second transceiver measures (430) the individual signal strength of the dedicated signal in at least a first and a second time slot and transmits (440) measurement reports to the first transceiver based on the individual measurements in the first and second time slots of the dedicated signal.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) parameter configuration method for facilitating Automatic Neighbor Relation (ANR) measurement. The method comprises determining a traffic intensity of a User Equipment (UE) by which a DRX-based ANR measurement is to be performed. The method further comprises setting a value for a DRX parameter to be used by the UE to perform the DRX-based ANR measurement, in accordance with the determined traffic intensity of the UE. The method further comprises transmitting the value set for the DRX parameter to the UE. The present invention further provides an associated BS adapted to perform DRX parameter configuration to facilitate ANR measurement.
Abstract:
One of the embodiments of the present invention relates to a method for calibrating mobile robustness optimization function for inter-cell handover. The method comprises detecting mobile robustness optimization deviation; calibrating said mobile robustness optimization function by—compensating the detected mobile robustness optimization deviation. The embodiments of the present invention further provide corresponding apparatuses and base stations.
Abstract:
A telecommunication system includes one or more radio access network controllers and one or more radio base stations. A radio access network controller supervises the operation of a radio base station. To facilitate the supervision process, the radio access network controller receives a measurement capacity report from the radio base station and determines measurement control parameters specifying reporting requirements of the radio base station. The measurement control parameters are continually adjusted so that the capacity of the radio base station is not exceeded. Also, the capacity of the radio network controller is also considered in determining the measurement control parameters.
Abstract:
The embodiments disclose a method and BS to utilize a new Special Sub-Frame (SSF) in a legacy Time Division Duplex (TDD) cellular network, the BS is enabled to support the new SSF, the method notifies one or more User Equipments (UEs) served by the BS of a legacy SSF configuration, which actually is the corresponding new SSF configuration; schedules a downlink transmission including the new SSF from the BS to at least one of the one or more UEs respectively and performing the scheduled downlink transmission to the respective UE; and when receiving a response in a uplink transmission from the UE in response to the scheduled downlink transmission, determines that the UE is enabled to support the new SSF and thus communicating with the UE by means of the new SSF.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a method (500) for a cellular communications network (100), according to which there can be a plurality of users (110, 120) in the network; said network comprises control functions (NodeB, RNC, MSC, HLR) for receiving, connecting and directing traffic to and from users. According to the method (515), at least a number of said users are associated with individual user identities which are unique in said network, and least two addresses such as numbers which may be used by a first user (110) in order to establish communication with a second user (120) in the network are mapped (525) to the unique user identity which is held by the second user, so that the entering or dialling of either of said at least two addresses by said first user will result (540) in an attempt by the network to establish communication with the second user.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a timing synchronization method in a User Equipment (UE) which is served in a first cell of a first synchronous communication network and also located in a second cell of a second synchronous communication network. The method comprises receiving a message from a communication node of the first network, the message including clock offsets of the first cell and the second cell or timing difference there between, and calculating downlink synchronization of the second cell from downlink synchronization of the first cell and the clock offsets/timing difference.
