  • Patent number: 10694543
    Abstract: A first network node 204 and method therein for establishing a neighbour relation with a second network node 206 is disclosed. The first and second network nodes are operating in a wireless communications network 200. The first network node receives a random access request from a communications device 210 operating in the wireless communications network. For neighbour node determination, the first network node transmits, to a third network node 208, a first information relating to an identity of a preamble comprised in the received random access request and to a first reception time of the random access request. The first network node establishes a neighbour relation with the second network node based on a neighbour node determination performed based on the first information by the third network node.

  • Patent number: 10673485
    Abstract: A method and a receiving node for determining Time Of Arrival (TOA) for a radio signal received from a transmitting node in a wireless network. The receiving node detects the received radio signal by cross-correlating the received radio signal with a predefined reference signal transmitted by the transmitting node, to obtain a Cross-Correlated Function (CCF). The receiving node then estimates a set of candidate TOAs for respective signal components of the cross-correlated signal, and determines a final TOA for the received radio signal based on the set of candidate TOAs.

  • Publication number: 20200169336
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to radio network communication. In one of its aspects, the disclosure presented herein concerns a method for performing beam-based positioning. The method is implemented in a target device. According to the method, a list of transmitter beam IDentities (IDs) accompanied with corresponding beam-based Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) configurations for one or more radio cells associated with one or more radio network nodes are received. Different beam-based PRS sequences are used for different transmitter beams of one radio network node. Based on the received list of transmitter beam IDs accompanied with corresponding PRS configurations, a set of transmitter beams for subsequent measuring are determined.
