Patent number: 8798629Abstract: A method in a radio network node for identifying a candidate cell for handover of a user equipment is provided. The radio network node receives, from the user equipment, a first cell identifier associated with the candidate cell. The radio network node signals a cell identification request to at least one base station serving a cell using the first cell identifier. The cell identification request comprises a user equipment identifier associated with the user equipment (102), and requests any cell wherein the user equipment associated with the user equipment identifier can be detected. The radio network node receives a cell identification response comprising a second cell identifier associated with a detecting cell, served by a detecting base station, wherein the user equipment associated with the user equipment identifier is detected. The radio network node then identifies the candidate cell based on the received second cell identifier.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2010Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Per Elmdahl, Fredrik Gunnarsson, Ove Linnell, Johan Moe

Patent number: 8738004Abstract: Handover (HO) statistics and handover issue events which are due to non-mobility causes are not included in the statistics fed into mobility robustness optimization (MRO). The non-mobility causes may include, e.g., load balancing, retracting users to prepare for cell maintenance or restart/reconfiguration and cell outage including compensation means. Radio link failure (RLF), handover failure (HOF), and handover oscillations (HOosc) that are due to non-mobility cause are excluded from the statistics upon which mobility robustness optimization is based. Non-mobility causes are also differentiated from mobility causes when reporting key performance indicators to an operator.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2012Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Mehdi Amirijoo, Fredrik Gunnarsson, Birgitta Olin, Johan Moe, Kristina Zetterberg

Publication number: 20140120895Abstract: The technology described automatically resolves cell identity collisions/conflicts in a cellular radio communications network. A detecting node determines that a first cell identifier associated with a first conflicting cell is the same as a second cell identifier associated with a second conflicting cell. One of the first and second conflicting cells is selected to change its cell identifier. A different cell identifier is determined for the selected cell. The different cell identifier is then provided to other cells and preferably to user equipment (UE) terminals without disrupting ongoing UE communications.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2013Publication date: May 1, 2014Applicant: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Johan MOE, Pal FRENGER, Fredrik GUNNARSSON
