  • Patent number: 9485690
    Abstract: The system comprises a plurality of radio access nodes, or cells, each of said cells providing a coverage area to a plurality of user equipments, characterized in that each of said radio access nodes is splitted into: a common processing section (1) which performs a main processing stage; and a plurality of remote transceiving sections (2a, 2b, 2c), each performing a local processing stage complementing said main processing stage, being operatively connected to said common processing section, and constituting a sub-cell providing a coverage sub-area, wherein said coverage area is distributed into said coverage sub-areas. The method is arranged for carrying out said splitting of radio access nodes.

  • Patent number: 9198187
    Abstract: In the method, a user device detects interferences a single dominant interferer of a neighbor base station, said user device provided with at least two antennas and said user device connected to a main base station, said main base station introducing a pattern of transmission gaps for certain Resource Elements in the Resource Element mapping function by switching off the transmission, being said certain Resource Elements in the Resource Element mapping function introduced for the PDSCH complex symbols.

  • Patent number: 9100075
    Abstract: A method to implement a Multiple Input Multiple Output transmission mode In the method of the invention, said MIMO transmission mode comprises using a certain number of antennas in a user equipment and a given number of antennas in a radio access node for the communication between said user equipment and said radio access node, said communication carried out by means of a communication channel, said communication channel represented by a channel matrix. The method of the invention is characterized in that it comprises uncorrelating at least part of the coefficients of said channel matrix when said communication channel is degenerate by making use of at least one additional antenna in each of said radio access node and said user equipment in order to change the radiation pattern associated to transmission layers of said communication enabling the use of an enhanced MIMO transmission mode.
