  • Patent number: 10111151
    Abstract: The present specification suggests a method for establishing a terminal-centric group cell on the basis of measurement signal variation for cooperative transmission and handover in a mobile communication system. Specifically, a base station receives transmissions of parameters from a terminal, configures a terminal surrounding cell information table, and configures a cooperative cell cluster configuration table using the terminal surrounding cell information table as the terminal moves. The base station performs cooperative transmission and handover using the cooperative cell cluster configuration table. The terminal sends parameters to the base station periodically or when a certain condition is met, and the base station updates the terminal surrounding cell information table and the cooperative cell cluster configuration table using the parameters sent from the terminal to thereby use the same for mobility management.

    Abstract: The present specification suggests a method and an apparatus for more efficient mobility management through a hierarchical structure of a micro mobility management entity (MME) and a macro MME in a mobile communication system. Particularly, a second MME establishes a connection with a plurality of small cells included in a single macro cell. The second MME manages a single particular macro cell, and a first MME manages a plurality of macro cells, thereby providing a hierarchical structure. Additionally, the second MME transmits a paging message to a small cell in which a terminal is positioned, among the plurality of small cells included in a single macro cell. The second MME has information on the position of the terminal and can transmit the paging message to a particular small cell in which the terminal is positioned.

  • Patent number: 9860815
    Abstract: The present specification suggests a method for improving performance degradation caused by frequent handovers when a terminal moves among several cells, particularly among dense small cells. To this end, required are cooperative transmission among cells and a new handover method. A base station receives RSRP information about an anchor cell and a neighboring cell and configures a cooperation-based cell cluster using the RSRP information. If RSRP values are compared and meet specific conditions, the anchor cell and the neighboring cell carry out cooperative communication. If the RSRP values of the anchor cell and an anchor candidate cell are compared during the cooperative communication and meet specific conditions, handover from the anchor cell to the anchor candidate cell is carried out. If the present invention is applied, when the terminal moves in an environment where small cells are dense, the number of handovers is greatly reduced and thus network burden can be lessened.

  • Patent number: 9167534
    Abstract: A method for reducing inter-cell interference (ICI) in a mobile communication system controls transmission signal power of an uplink signal from a terminal based on signal power measurement for a signal received from a base station of a neighboring cell. A terminal receives a signal from a base station of a neighboring cell via a wireless channel, measures a channel response against a threshold value across an applicable frequency band by using the received signal, determines a transmission signal power for each frequency band used for data transmission based on the measured channel response, and transmits data to a home cell base station according to the transmission signal power for each frequency band. The terminal may measure a channel response based on signals received from multiple base stations in multiple neighboring cells, and may also evaluate signal power of a signal transmitted from the home cell.
