Patent number: 11464042Abstract: A system and method of Random-Access Response, RAR, messaging when a base station employs narrow beamforming. Multiple RAR messages are successively transmitted from the base station to a User Equipment, UE, before any response to a RAR message is received from the UE. Thus, despite any calibration mismatch between Uplink, UL, and Downlink, DL, beams in the beamformed system, a RAR message is not only received by the UE, but is received over the most-suitable DL beam for that UE. Each RAR message may contain a message-specific scheduling-delay indicator in the UL grant carried in the RAR message to provide an adjustable time delay for the UE's uplink transmission scheduled by the UL grant. Multiple RAR transmissions can schedule a single UL transmission at a specific time instance or different UL transmissions at different time intervals. The UE may report to the base station the best DL RAR transmission detected by the UE.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2020Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Johan Furuskog, Henrik Sahlin, Andreas Bergström, Håkan Andersson, Niclas Wiberg, Qiang Zhang

Patent number: 10880760Abstract: Methods, nodes and arrangements for supporting identification of one or more neighboring network nodes comprised in a wireless communication network. A communication device is associated with a communicative connection to a first network node, e.g. a serving base station. The communication device obtains a first identifier identifying the first network node, and transmits the obtained first identifier in an uplink so that the first identifier is receivable by one or more other, second network nodes, e.g. non-serving base stations. Receipt of the first identifier by a second network node enables identification of the first radio network node as neighboring said second radio network node. The second network node obtains, based on the first identifier, an address of the first network node, and/or a second identifier uniquely identifying the first network node, in the wireless communication network.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2016Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Pradeepa Ramachandra, Mehdi Amirijoo, Andreas Bergström, Fredrik Gunnarsson

Patent number: 10856313Abstract: A first network node (110; 111; 112; 130), a wireless device (120) and methods thereof, for managing one or more uplink resources between the wireless device (120) and a wireless communication network (100) are provided. The first network node (110; 11; 112; 130) compiles (204; 401) resource information about uplink resources available for the wireless device (120) to select and request for uplink scheduling. Said resource information associates each one of multiple such uplink resources with one or more downlink reference signals. The first network node (110; 111; 112; 130) sends (205; 402) the compiled resource information to the wireless device (120). The wireless device (120) 10 is thereby enabled to select, based on the resource information and said one or more downlink reference signals, at least one of said uplink resources to request for uplink scheduling.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2015Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Reza Moosavi, Andreas Bergström, Erik Eriksson, Pradeepa Ramachandra
