Abstract: A first radio node, Node1, in a wireless communication network transmits a signal to a second radio node, Node2, under a constraint of spectrum flatness—meaning a maximum variation of power of the transmitted signal, within a transmission bandwidth. Spectrum flatness configurations may be determined by a network node and transmitted to Node1. Alternatively, Node1 may determine a spectrum flatness configuration and transmit it to a network node. In either case, Node1 adapts one or more coefficients of a transmission filter such that a transmission to Node2 will be in accordance with the obtained spectrum flatness configuration, and then transmits a signal to Node2 using the transmission filter with the adapted coefficients.

Abstract: A method and user node for maintaining a connection with a network node when operating in a multi-carrier mode using a first filter configuration to receive multiple frequency carriers simultaneously for downlink communication. The user node applies a mode switching scheme comprising first intervals for the multi-carrier mode and second intervals for a single carrier mode using a second filter configuration to receive a single carrier for the downlink communication. In this case, the user node switches temporarily from the multi-carrier mode to operate in the single carrier mode during the second intervals according to the mode switching scheme. Thereby the user node is enabled to maintain the connection by receiving messages and/or control signalling from the network node over the single frequency carrier during the second intervals, for example when the multi-carrier mode is highly disturbed by interference.

Abstract: Method in a network node for managing radio resources. The network node is comprised in a wireless radio network. A mobile station is configured to operate in the wireless radio network. The mobile station has a maximum bandwidth for simultaneous receptions, and a first carrier list comprising carriers. The carriers are radio carriers assigned to the mobile station. The maximum bandwidth cannot envelope all the carriers in the first carrier list. The network node removes one or more carriers from the first carrier list. The removing of the one or more carriers is performed, one carrier by one carrier, until the maximum bandwidth can envelope all remaining carriers after the removing. The one or more removed carriers have a lowest priority according to a priority list. The remaining carriers comprise carriers to receive for the mobile station.
