Patent number: 10292165Abstract: A network node is connected to a plurality of antenna nodes that are located along a constrained path where a plurality of wireless communication devices are located. The antenna nodes are controlled to maintain reception radio lobes substantially along the path such that the wireless communication devices can perform uplink radio communication with the network node via the reception radio lobes. At least one radio frequency, RF, signal is detected and a determination is made that the detected at least one RF signal originates from a respective wireless communication device of a specific subset among said plurality of wireless communication devices. The specific subset comprises wireless communication devices that are associated with a common radio frequency offset. An allocation of a common uplink radio communication resource is then made for all wireless communication devices in the specific subset of wireless communication devices.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2016Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (publ)Inventors: Joakim Axmon, Magnus Larsson, Torgny Palenius

Patent number: 9668192Abstract: A first network node has first antenna nodes located along a track and associated with a first cell. Some of them serve a first cell overlap region that overlaps a second cell overlap region of second antenna nodes connected to a second network node. Some first antenna nodes form downlink beams in a same direction with power levels controlled such that respective amounts of overlap between the downlink beams and respective power levels of the downlink beams jointly cause the first cell's overlap region to emulate a cell border for a user equipment travelling at high speed. Emulated cell border signal power is lower at locations closer to an emulated cell outer edge than at more distant locations. Emulated cell border length is sufficient to cause the travelling user equipment to be within the emulated cell border long enough to successfully perform a handover between the first and second cells.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2016Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (publ)Inventors: Joakim Axmon, Magnus Larsson, Walter Muller
