Publication number: 20160191223Abstract: An allocation of downlink resources is received, which are monitored on l layers for data. A resource-specific bit (ACK/NACK) is generated for each of those resources. From a pattern of those resources is selected an algorithm from among a first algorithm that bundles them in a first mode and a second algorithm that bundles them in a second mode. The selected algorithm is used on the generated resource-specific bits that correspond to the downlink resources, bundled according to the selected mode, to generate l reply bits which are then transmitted. At the network side a NACK reply bit is received, based on a pattern of the allocated downlink resources, a first algorithm that bundles them in a first mode or a second algorithm that bundles them in a second mode is selected. A bundling window and layer combination are determined from the selected algorithm, which gives the resource for retransmitting the NACK'd data.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2016Publication date: June 30, 2016Inventors: Frank Frederiksen, Troels E.

Patent number: 9059845Abstract: The exemplary embodiments of the invention utilize techniques that provide an amount of scheduling flexibility for retransmissions (e.g., downlink HARQ retransmissions) while also limiting the amount of time within which a UE can expect retransmissions. Thus, the network retains scheduling flexibility while the UE can still operate in DRX, for example. In one exemplary embodiment, a method includes: receiving an initial transmission of information; and receiving a retransmission of the information, where the retransmission is received within a window of time having a predetermined duration, where the window of time is arranged to begin at a predetermined time or after a predetermined time interval. In further exemplary embodiments, the predetermined duration of the window of time is measured using a DRX retransmission timer and/or the predetermined time or the predetermined time interval is measured using a HARQ RTT timer.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2008Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Lars Dalsgaard, Frank Frederiksen, Troels E.

Patent number: 8954009Abstract: For each nth carrier frequency bandwidth of a set of N carrier frequency bandwidths there is determined interference (in which n is an index and N is an integer greater than one). For each nth carrier frequency bandwidth, there is determined a number of cells operating on the nth carrier frequency bandwidth. The number of carrier frequency bandwidths available for selection is reduced to less than N by excluding from consideration at least one carrier frequency bandwidth based on the determined number of cells operating thereon. From the reduced number is selected a carrier frequency bandwidth for use by a host femto cell. In various specific embodiments: the carrier frequency bandwidth excluded from consideration has a maximum number of cells operating thereon; and/or closed subscriber group cells having path loss exceeding a threshold are excluded from the per carrier count; and/or only femto cells are included in the per carrier count.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2010Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Nokia Siemens Networks OyInventors: Klaus I.

Patent number: 8588797Abstract: Channel conditions within each of N contiguous cells is determined. Based on at least the determined N channel conditions, there is determined a set of the N cells which are to utilize joint scheduling, and resources for a control channel are jointly assigning to individual cells of the set of cells. In various embodiments, the channel conditions are SINR and load on the control channel; and the set of cells is decided based on potential for mutual interference and/or potential that the control channel will not be filled. The resource may be jointly assigned based on user priority, so that serially for each highest priority user resources are assigned, the assigned resources are then blocked from compiled lists of radio resources, the highest priority user is removed and a next highest priority user is then the highest priority user to continue in the serial iteration.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2010Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Nokia Siemens Networks OyInventors: Troels E.

Publication number: 20110312359Abstract: The operational mode of individual ones of a plurality of geographically distributed network nodes is dynamically changed in correspondence with geographic location of at least one wireless data user. Wireless data service is adaptively provided to the at least one data user via at least one of the network nodes whose operational mode is dynamically changed also in correspondence with a data throughput requirement of the at least one data user. The operational mode changes may be switching between an operational diversity transceiving mode, an operational stand-alone transceiving mode, and an idle or off mode. The network nodes may be remote antennas or radio heads. In this manner the operational modes can be switched based on needs and locations of high data throughput users in a cell, and every node that is idle/off represents a power savings.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2010Publication date: December 22, 2011Inventors: Troels E.

Patent number: 7860000Abstract: In one non-limiting, exemplary embodiment, a method includes: estimating an activity factor for a priority class based at least in part on a provided bit rate for the priority class and a guaranteed bit rate of the priority class; and using the estimated activity factor to estimate at least one network-related parameter. In another non-limiting, exemplary embodiment, a method includes: obtaining a measurement for a priority class; and estimating an activity factor for the priority class based at least in part on the measurement and a quality of service attribute of the priority class. As a non-limiting example, exemplary embodiments of this invention employ a framework providing an estimation of effective activity factor per service priority indicator (SPI) class to provide, for example, enhanced quality of service awareness in radio resource management functionality, such as for estimation of the amount of power used per SPI class/group.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2007Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Jeroen Wigard, Daniela Laselva, Troels E.

In particular embodiments, the bit sequences are either 2 or 3 bits; one maps to a next available uplink resource and another maps to a second next available uplink resource.
