  • Patent number: 10306524
    Abstract: Antenna nodes are controlled to maintain a respective radio cell, each cell having one and the same physical cell identity. The antenna nodes are further controlled to maintain the respective radio cell in a single direction substantially along a path such that each wireless communication device, during movement in a movement direction along the path, can connect either to consecutive antenna nodes towards which the wireless communication device is moving or connect to consecutive antenna nodes away from which the wireless communication device is moving.

  • Patent number: 10292165
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10045392
    Abstract: Flexible carrier aggregation is provided for a radio communications system. A capability is determined to communicate over a radio interface using multiple radio frequency component carriers. Each of the multiple component carriers is configurable with one or more control channels in a first mode of operation and with no control channels in a second mode of operation. Configuration information for one of the multiple radio frequency component carriers is signaled to indicate at least one of the component carriers is configured to operate in a selected one of the first mode of operation and the second mode of operation so that a network radio node and a user equipment radio node can communicate using the selected mode of operation.

  • Patent number: 9923608
    Abstract: A network node is connected to a plurality of antenna nodes that are located along a path where a plurality of wireless communication devices are located. The antenna nodes are controlled (302) to maintain reception radio lobes substantially along the path such that the wireless communication devices can communicate with the network node via the reception radio lobes. From a detected (304) radio frequency signal, a determination (306) is made that a UE belongs to a group of UEs having common Doppler radio frequency characteristics. This determination then enables processing (308) of the received signal involving the common Doppler characteristics.

  • Patent number: 9668192
    Abstract: 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.
