Abstract: The method comprises identifying and classifying, by a classification unit (102), received data packets flows between fixed bit rate data packets flows (FB) and variable bit rate data packets flows (VB); sending the identified and classified fixed bit rate data packets flows (FB) to a pacer unit (103) spacing the transmission of the fixed bit rate data packets flows (FB) towards an egress port of the transport node (100); and sending the configuration parameters relating to the variable bit rate data packets flows (VB) to a virtual queue unit (104), said virtual queue unit (104) including a processor running an algorithm to activate one or more congestion correction procedures, wherein in case the result obtained by said algorithm being over, or equal, at least one threshold activating a corresponding congestion correction procedure.

Abstract: This invention proposes a method for assigning resources in the downlink based on the CQI parameter reported by the UE compatible with the LTE standard. The method looks for saving signalling resources when conditions are such that no major advantage can be obtained from frequency selective scheduling. The method is divided into two processes, a non real time process used to determine whether the conditions for its application are present; and the new assignment procedure. For the latter, the method defines different assignment procedures based on whether the CQI value reported by the UE is higher or not of a given threshold whose calculation is also defined. A new parameter, the MAB, is defined for the assignment in case of CQI higher than the threshold, while frequency distributed scheduling is used if it is lower. The proposed method is believed to improve the LTE spectral efficiency with reduced complexity.

Abstract: A method to optimize the power assignment of user streams transmitted from base stations in coordinated base station transmission systems. In the method of the invention said CBST systems employ block diagonalization techniques and are deployed in MIMO-OFDM scenarios, and it further comprises using a new waterfilling technique which provides a performance very close to the theoretical ideal but with a reduced computational complexity.
