Abstract:
A method in a primary network node for handling a handover of a wireless device from a primary cell serviced by the primary network node to a neighbor cell serviced by a neighbor network node. The method comprises sending a configuration message to the wireless device, comprising instructions to evaluate in parallel a first handover event and a second handover event. The first event is based on signal quality measurements from both cells. The second event is based on signal strength measurements from both cells. To evaluate comprises determining if an entering condition for each of the events is satisfied. The method further comprises sending a handover command to the wireless device when one of: the entering condition for the first handover event is satisfied over a first time period, and the entering condition for the second handover event is satisfied over a second time period.
Abstract:
A method in a first base station (105) for handling a data transferral in a cellular network (100) is provided. The first base station (105) serves a user equipment (125) via a first cell (115). When the first base station (105) obtains an indication that a second cell (120) provides a coverage for the user equipment (125), the first base station (105) sends a message to a second base station (110) serving the second cell (120). The message commands the second base station (110) to prepare for receiving the uplink data from the user equipment (125) via the second cell (120). The first base station (105) also sends a request to the user equipment (125). The request commands the user equipment (125) to prepare for sending the uplink data both via the first cell (115) and via the second cell (120) in respective separate intra frequency transmissions.
Abstract:
According to several disclosed techniques, a wireless network provides assistance information to a mobile terminal for cell selection at re-establishment of a connection after a radio link failure. An example method is implemented in a mobile terminal served in a first cell of a wireless network, and includes receiving (510) a configuration message from the network, the configuration message identifying at least one carrier frequency. Upon subsequently losing connection with the first cell without receiving a handover command, the mobile terminal initiates (520) a cell search using the identified at least one carrier frequency, based on the configuration message.
Abstract:
Methods, nodes, computer programs, computer program productsand a mobile network for adapting a mobile network are described.In such a method for adapting a mobile network (800), a terminal (802) is connected to a first access node (804) of the mobile network (800) via a first connection and to a second access node (808) via a second connection. The first access node (804) controls a data transmission for the terminal (802) and the second access node (808) assists in the data transmission for the terminal(802). The method comprises determining (7) whether a quality of at least one of the first connection and the second connection is degraded,acquiring (7) quality degradation information about the degradation of the quality of at least one of the first connection and the second connection based on the step of determining, and adapting (896, 8, 898, 899, 10, 11) the mobile network (800) based on the step of acquiring. Thereby a network adaption can be enabled in an easy, efficient and fast way in a case in which at least one of the first connection and second connection may have been degraded or failed

Abstract:
A controlling node (127) for a cellular communications system (100), arranged to handle the control of one or more user terminals (128) in a first cell (125), and being configurable to receive transmissions from one or more user terminals (128) in the first cell (125), with a defined periodicity. The controlling node (127) is characterized in that it is arranged to initiate handover of a user terminal from the first cell (125) to another cell if the controlling node does not receive a transmission at the expected time for said periodicity from the user terminal.
