Patent number: 9949279Abstract: A network node for selecting transmission mode towards a wireless device in a wireless communications network is provided. The wireless communications network comprises a first cell and a second cell. The wireless device is connected to the first cell, which first cell is served by the network node. The network node obtains (301) information about respective downlink signal strength from the first cell to the wireless device, and the second cell to the wireless device. The network node selects (302) transmission mode towards the wireless device based on absolute signal strength and a difference in signal strength between the first cell and the second cell. The difference is calculated based on the obtained information.

Methods and network nodes for performing a joint reception in a cellular radio communication network
Patent number: 9867195Abstract: The disclosure relates to cellular radio communication systems, and especially to performing a joint reception of uplink transmissions from user equipment devices UE1, UE2. A serving node and a cooperating node is described together with methods performed by each node. The serving node comprises a user equipment selector, a cooperating node selector and a radio element selector. The serving node also includes a user equipment allocator, a joint reception requester configured to order joint reception data from selected cooperating nodes, and a backhaul capacity obtainer configured to obtain a backhaul capacity of selected cooperating nodes. Especially, the radio element selector is adapted to select radio resource elements based on a determined backhaul capacity. By considering the backhaul capacity, the backhaul can be employed for joint reception without becoming overloaded.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2013Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Martin Hessler, Jonas Fröberg Olsson, Peter Nauclér -
