Publication number: 20180331964Abstract: One or more of multiple UEs with a pending payload are assigned to individual sets of PRBs. The allocating assigns X of N total PRBs to be transmitted, X<N, wherein the allocating is performed to accommodate transmission of the corresponding payloads, given a required MCS for each of the one or more UEs, to meet an initial error rate for transmission of the payloads. One or more of the remaining N?X PRBs are reassigned to at least one user equipment that has already been allocated one or more PRBs. The MCS to be used for the at least one user equipment is adjusted given a total number of assigned PRBs per individual ones of the at least one user equipment. The adjusting lowers the initial error rate to a final error rate. The pending payloads are transmitted to the one or more UEs using the PRBs and the corresponding MCS.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2017Publication date: November 15, 2018Inventors: Guillermo Pocovi, Klaus lngemann Pedersen, Beatriz Soret

Patent number: 9955484Abstract: A mobile radio device uses its own location/position information to itself select a radio access resource from a plurality of radio access resources shared among a plurality of mobile radio devices; and sends a transmission on a wireless shared radio access channel using the selected radio access resource. In non-limiting embodiments: the location/position information represents global/absolute physical position, or a position relative to a local reference location within an access region which may be a cell, building, roadway, etc.; and the radio access resources are time slots; frequency blocks; and/or preambles. The examples have a map or algorithm stored in the device's local memory that associates different access resources to different discrete location areas within the access region; the algorithm identifies the location area that corresponds to the location/position information and outputs the selected access resource (or an index/identifier of it) associated with the identified location area.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2015Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Beatriz Soret, Istvan Z.

Patent number: 9883417Abstract: This document discloses a solution of interference coordination in wireless communication systems where a base station may request a specified load report from another base station. A first base station may store load information of terminal devices associated with the identifier of strongest interference source for each terminal device. The first base station may receive a load report request from a second base station. The first base station may respond to the second base station with a load report including load information of only terminal devices whose strongest interference source is the second base station. The second base station may receive the load report further and provide communication resources on the basis of the received load report.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2014Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: Nokia Solutions and Networks OyInventors: Beatriz Soret, Klaus Ingemann Pedersen, Hua Wang, Sonia Barcos, Guillermo Pocovi

Patent number: 9832658Abstract: The disclosure relate to interference coordination in wireless communications. A first level station can obtain information for interference coordination with a second level station to protect the second level station from interference in arrangement where the second level station provides a smaller coverage area than the first level station and is at least partially located in the area of the first level station. Use of directional antenna beams by the first level station and/or communications by the second level station can then be controlled accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2012Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Nokia Solutions and Networks OyInventors: Klaus Ingemann Pedersen, Beatriz Soret, Jens Steiner

Publication number: 20160080123Abstract: First almost-blank subframe, ABS, information regarding multiple subframes, SFs, is received at an underlying access point, AP, from an overlaying AP, wherein the first ABS information includes an identification of mandatory ABS(s) in the multiple SFs. Second ABS information regarding the multiple SFs is received at the underlying AP from the overlaying AP. The second information includes an identification of optional ABS(s) in the multiple SFs. The optional ABS(s) are to be used as one of normal SFs or mandatory ABSs. The multiple SFs for the underlying cell are scheduled based on whether the optional ABS(s) is to be used as an ABS. Mandatory and optional ABSs in multiple subframes are scheduled at an overlaying AP. First ABS information, including an identification of mandatory ABS(s), is sent to an underlying AP. Second ABS information, including identification of optional ABS(s) in the subframes, is sent to the underlying AP.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2014Publication date: March 17, 2016Inventors: Klaus Ingemann PEDERSEN, Beatriz SORET

Patent number: 9271215Abstract: It is checked if a first CRE from a first cell is larger than 0 and if a second CRE from a second cell is larger than 0. If both the first and the second CRE are larger than 0, a first modified CRE is set based on the first CRE and a second modified CRE is set based on the second CRE. If the first CRE and/or the second CRE is equal to 0, the first modified CRE is set the first CRE and the second modified CRE is set to the second CRE. One of the first and second cell is selected for cell selection and/or handover based on a comparison of a sum of a signal strength indicator from the first cell and the first modified CRE and a sum of a signal strength indicator from the second cell and the second modified CRE.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2012Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Nokia Solutions and Networks OyInventors: Klaus Ingemann Pedersen, Beatriz Soret

Publication number: 20150181536Abstract: In accordance with a method for power control in wireless communications, including a first radio node determines that a different muted subframe transmission power is desired. A request to a second radio node for a different muted subframe transmission power is then signalled. The request is taken into account by the second radio node in setting transmission power of at least one muted subframe.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2012Publication date: June 25, 2015Inventors: Klaus Ingemann Pedersen, Stanislaw Strzyz, Beatriz Soret
