  • Patent number: 10993198
    Abstract: An out-of-synchronization determining method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: receiving, by a control network element, interference metrics sent by N base stations; determining, by the control network element based on the interference metrics, M first to-be-inspected base stations in the N base stations and/or neighboring stations of the N base stations; determining, by the control network element, P second to-be-inspected base stations, where the P second to-be-inspected base stations are base stations meeting a detection condition that are selected from the M first to-be-inspected base stations, and the detection condition is that a characteristic sequence broadcast by the first to-be-inspected base station at a specified position in a radio frame is not received by any neighboring station at the specified position; and determining, by the control network element, an out-of-synchronization base station in the P second to-be-inspected base stations.

  • Patent number: 10904064
    Abstract: Communication method and base stations are provided. One example includes determining, by a base station, that co-channel interference exists. For N consecutive symbols before a guard period (GP) in a special subframe in a radio frame, the base station sends a signal by using M1 middle resource blocks (RBs) of the N symbols, and reserves use of an RB other than the M1 RBs in the N symbols, where both N and M1 are positive integers.

  • Patent number: 10645732
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, a device, and a system for determining timing advance grouping, and relate to the field of communications, the method, device and system for determining timing advance grouping. The method includes adding, by a base station (eNodeB), a component carrier (CC) for a user equipment (UE); according to obtained timing advance (TA) group information or a preset rule, determining a TA group that the added CC belongs to, where the TA group is a set of CCs that can share a TA; and sending identification information that identifies the TA group to the UE. Embodiments of the present invention are used to determine TA grouping when the eNodeB adds the CC for the UE.

  • Patent number: 9247493
    Abstract: A method, terminal, system and computer readable medium for cell reselection are disclosed. When in a cell of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the terminal receives a message from the LTE system. The message includes a dedicated priority list for the cell reselection. When the terminal camps on a cell of a non-LTE system, the terminal performs inter-system cell reselection in accordance with the dedicated priority list before a valid time of the dedicated priority list expires. With the discloses method, terminal and system, the problems of establishing a dedicated priority list causes too much increased signaling and too high costs for network update in the prior art when perform inter-system cell (re)selection are effectively resolved.
