Abstract:
According to an aspect, there is disclosed a method that includes aligning, by a radio access network node wirelessly connected to at least two parent nodes and to a child node, an uplink reception timing associated with the child node with a downlink reception timing associated with a parent node of the at least two parent nodes.
Abstract:
According to an aspect, there is provided a control node comprising means for performing: maintaining information, in a database, on a plurality of network nodes which are configured to perform wireless backhauling in at least one wireless backhaul network and are in communication with the control node, selecting, based on the information on the plurality of network nodes and according to pre-defined criteria, a first and a second set of network nodes from the plurality of network nodes and transmitting to the first set a first command to transmit a reference signal at one or more first pre-defined time instances and to the second set of network nodes a second command to monitor received signals at said one or more first pre-defined time instances to measure the reference signal.
Abstract:
Various communication systems may benefit from the appropriate logging of measurements. For example, communication systems employing multimedia broadcast multicast service may benefit from logging multicast-broadcast single-frequency network measurements. A method can include logging, by a user equipment, a multicast-broadcast single-frequency network measurement corresponding to a logging period. The method can also include storing, at the time the multicast-broadcast single-frequency network measurement is made, cell measurement results.
Abstract:
Certain examples of the present disclosure relate to a first node (401) comprising means for: receiving data addressed to the first node, wherein the received data comprises information to be transmitted to a User Equipment, UE (110); determining, in response to determining that the first node does not serve the UE, an address of a second node (402) that serves the UE; and sending, based at least in part on the determined address of the second node, the received data to the second node.
Abstract:
There is disclosed method for a network apparatus, the method comprising configuring the network apparatus to use a first transmit and/or receive pattern selected from a plurality of available transmit and/or receive patterns for performing discovery procedures with another network apparatus, wherein the first transmit and/or receive pattern is selected from said plurality in dependence on at least the mobility of said network apparatus and/or on the relative mobility of said network apparatus to said another network apparatus.
Abstract:
Implementations of advanced frequency synchronization in a mobile integrated access backhaul deployment are disclosed. An apparatus includes at least one processor, and at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform: estimate a change in a propagation delay at two time instants, measure a time period of the two time instants using a local clock of a network node, wherein the two time instants correspond to a known timing of a received signal, subtract the change of the propagation delay from the measured time period, calculate a difference between the subtracted time period and a known timing of the received signal; and convert the difference to a frequency offset value to synchronize downlink transmission frequency between the network node and a parent node.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for sending, by a user equipment, an indication of whether there is an intent to receive a multimedia broadcast multicast service; and receiving, by the user equipment in response to the sent indication, measurement configuration information for a multicast broadcast single-frequency network. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.
