Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, user equipment and a base station adapted to handle channel state feed-back reports in a more flexible way. More specifically, a channel state feedback procedure is provided which utilizes the resources available for transmission of channel state feedback more efficiently. This is achieved by including uplink grant availability into the channel state feedback reporting triggers used for determining when and how to send channel state feedback from a UE, i.e. a channel state feedback reporting request may be sent by a base station in an uplink grant to a UE comprising an indication of an expected amount of information to be returned.

Abstract: The present invention relates to allowing configuring CSI reporting (step S-224, 310) on radio resources that are allocated over a plurality of sub frames on Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH). Allocation of said radio resources (steps S-202, 404) can be performed by semi-persistent allocation or by using Transmission Time Interval (TTI) bundling. By using either semi-persistent scheduling or TTI-bundling as decided by an eNB (104, 204, 600) the UE (102, 202, 500) can be configured to report CSI (step S-224, 310) for a plurality of UL transmissions. By allocating radio resources by using semi-persistent scheduling, the signaling overhead, which can be substantial for dynamic scheduling of radio resources, decreases. By using TTI-bundling the coverage of the CSI-reports increases.

Abstract: In a cellular radio system a UE transmits CQI reports on a periodic basis and also transmits CQI reports upon a request from the radio base station. The UE is further adapted to cancel transmission of a periodic CQI report upon reception of a request for a requested CQI report.

Abstract: Transmit power control methods and apparatus are disclosed. In several embodiments, a mobile terminal is configured to effectively ignore “UP” transmit power control commands in the event that the mobile terminal is operating in a power-limited state. In an exemplary method for controlling transmit power at a mobile terminal, a plurality of transmit power control commands are received. An accumulated power control value is adjusted in response to each transmit power control command that directs a negative adjustment in transmit power. However, the accumulated power control value is adjusted in response to a transmit power control command that directs a positive adjustment in transmit power only if the mobile terminal is not in a power-limited state. Transmit power settings for each transmission are calculated based on the accumulated power control value and the one or more radio link parameters.

Subsequently, the mobile terminal does not transmit a scheduling request to the base station unless and until a scheduling request triggering event is detected.

Abstract: The invention relates to handover of a mobile station (12) from a source cell (C1) to a target cell (C2) in a wireless communication network (10, 11). According to the invention communication improving data in relation to communication between the source cell and the mobile station (12) is collected by a communication improving node (14) prior to handover and communication improving physical layer data being at least based on said collected communication improving data is transferred to a device (41) handling communication between the target cell and the mobile station. The communication handling device then uses the communication improving physical layer data to improve the quality of the initial communication between the mobile station and the target cell after handover to the target cell.

Abstract: A method for performing link adaptation in association with scheduling a data channel for a cell in a base station of a cellular communication system, and an arrangement, suitable for performing such a method. The link adaptation method has link adaptation optimization purpose which is achieved by updating a link adaptation parameter on the basis of the load on the data channel and on the basis of the load of a control channel controlling the data channel in the cell. The method obtains a better trade-off between the spectral efficiency and the delay, due to re-transmissions.

Abstract: Control channel quality based scheduling of radio transmissions For controlling radio transmission in a mobile network, a node (100) of the mobile network determines a channel quality of a downlink control channel of a cell (10) of the mobile network, as experienced by a certain user equipment (50-1) in the cell (10). Depending on the determined channel quality of the downlink control channel, the node (100) schedules at least one radio transmission on a data channel of the cell (10). On the downlink control channel, the node (100) indicates radio resources allocated for the scheduled at least one radio transmission.
