  • Patent number: 10349336
    Abstract: A multihop network has nodes divided into user nodes, and base stations (BSs) each connected to a core network (CN). Each user node scans a surrounding area by an antenna array to identify a subset of the nodes wirelessly reachable by this user node and connectable to any BS. Node-specific information items determined for each reachable node include a farness value indicating farness in location between the reachable node and the user node. A target reachable node through which the user node communicates is selected and has a lowest farness value among the reachable nodes in the subset. The user node is communicable with a BS directly, or indirectly by multihop communication via the target reachable node, thereby allowing a total number of BSs adequate to support data communication between the CN and all the user nodes to be reduced when compared to non-multihop communication over the same geographical area.

  • Patent number: 10285106
    Abstract: The present invention provides user equipment and a method for ensuring continuous service reception in a wireless network. User equipment (UE) obtains configuration information of a neighboring cell; the UE determines that at least two cells of all cells including the serving cell and the neighboring cell belong to a same area to which a same multimedia broadcast multicast service belongs; and during measurement of a reference signal, the UE combines reference signal measurement values of at least two cells that belong to the area of the same multimedia broadcast multicast service to obtain a combined measurement value, and compares the combined measurement value with a measurement value of another cell, so as to determine whether to perform reselection. Therefore, in a handover determining process, radio signal quality of a single cell is prevented from being underestimated, so that an unnecessary handover procedure is avoided, thereby ensuring quality of a radio signal obtained by UE.

Accordingly, in the range of following CSI-RS transmission overhead, CSI-RSs are allocated to a time-frequency resource domain in such a manner so as to have perfect orthogonality or quasi-orthogonality according to cells or cell groups. Then, the CSI-RSs, which have been allocated to the time-frequency resource domain, are transmitted.
