Patent number: 10194358Abstract: A method of establishing a relationship between access nodes in a wireless communications network is provided. An access node is registered with the network. Information about each access node registered with the network is then stored at a control node. A list is then compiled at the control node, which includes each access node registered with the network and the list indicates which access node is a neighbor of another access node. This neighbor list is sent from the control node to each access node in the network. When an access node detects other access nodes, this is reported to the control node, which updates the neighbor list to the access nodes.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2016Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: Nokia Solutions and Networks OyInventors: Karol Drazynski, Maciej Pakulski, Markus Wimmer, Hanns Juergen Schwarzbauer

Patent number: 9008648Abstract: According to an apparatus, method and computer program product an interference pattern transmitted by a communication terminal based on a cellular communication network related configuration of the communication terminal is determined, wherein the determined interference pattern includes information on a transmission schedule of the communication terminal. Further, a wire connection based broadcast distribution of the determined interference pattern is initiated. Then, an interference pattern observed on a radio interface is compared with an interference pattern broadcast on wire connection, based on a transmission schedule of the interference pattern broadcast on wire connection. Finally, an originator of an interference pattern broadcast on wire connection is marked as a neighbor in case a match is determined between the interference pattern broadcast on wire connection of this originator and an interference pattern observed on a radio interface.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2010Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Nokia Solutions and Networks OyInventors: Karol Drazynski, Jaroslaw Lachowski, Maciej Pakulski, Hanns Juergen Schwarzbauer
