Abstract: A multi-mode congestion control is employed in a transport network interconnecting a radio access node and a control node of a communication network. The transport network employs a window-based state providing a window-based congestion control mode for a data flow. This mode involves notifying an application level transport protocol implemented in a sending source of the communication network of any detected congestion event. If a congestion event in the transport network is detected a switch to a rate-based state is performed. The rate-based state provides a rate-based congestion control mode involving transmitting a rate-reducing message from the radio access node to the control node to trigger a reduction in the bitrate of the data flow in response to the detected congestion event.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method in a RN node of a communications system operating on multiple carrier frequencies. The RN node hosts a first cell operating on a first carrier frequency and a second cell overlapping with the first cell and operating on a second carrier frequency. The method comprises broadcasting (501) information comprising a cell reselection priority for each of the first and the second carrier frequency in the first cell, where the priority of the first carrier frequency is the highest. The method also comprises broadcasting (502) information comprising a cell reselection priority for each of the first and the second carrier frequency in the second cell, where the cell reselection priority of the second carrier frequency is the highest. Thereby a UE will primarily perform intra-frequency cell reselection.

Abstract: In a wireless network, plural downlink signals from plural base stations are transmitted to a terminal. The plural downlink signals all carry the same information to the terminal. The terminal provides feedback on the downlink channels. The feedback provides information on the taps of the channels. The amount of information fed back is constrained. Based on the feedback, transmission parameters of the downlink signals are adjusted. The process of transmitting, providing feedback, and adjusting the parameters continue so that the energy of the downlink signal is enhanced at the terminal location and suppressed elsewhere. Beam forming can be used to further suppress the energy signature at locations other than the terminal location.
