Publication number: 20140349645Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a new way for a UE to autonomously indicate to the network from which transmission points (TPs) it is able to receive certain broadcast signals. As an example, by receiving in a broadcast signal in the form of a synchronization sequence, the physical identity of a particular TP, a UE infers when it should, if it wishes, send on an UL an indication of its ability to receive the broadcast signal from that TP—i.e., an indication of its presence in the coverage of the TP. The network is then able to take suitable action in response to this, such as adjusting network coverage, enabling or disabling other broadcast channels and controlling paging.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2014Publication date: November 27, 2014Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Matthew WEBB, Timothy MOULSLEY, Yiwei FANG

Publication number: 20140233528Abstract: A transmission procedure for use in a communication system including a base station and one or more terminals. The base station transmits a signal to a terminal, and provides the terminal with possible characteristics of a further signal for transmission from the terminal to the base station, the possible characteristics including at least one of: one or more locations for transmission of the further signal in the time domain; and one or more locations for the transmission of the further signal in the frequency domain; and wherein transmission of the further signal from the terminal, with one or more characteristics selected by the terminal from the possible characteristics, indicates further information relating to the terminal.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2014Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Matthew WEBB, Milos TESANOVIC, Timothy MOULSLEY, Yiwei FANG

Publication number: 20140226649Abstract: Cell-specific or transmission point (TP)-specific information is indicated to a UE based on the subframe in which a cell/TP transmits its primary and secondary synchronization sequences (PSS and SSS). The principal scenario of interest is a dense deployment of picocells/TPs which are under the control of an overlaid macrocell's eNodeB. Since the antenna port from which PSS/SSS are transmitted can change between subframes, the invention associates some information (such as zero power CSI-RS) related to the picocell/TP transmitting the PSS/SSS with a particular PSS/SSS and subframe combination. The table of associations can be provided by signalling from the macrocell eNodeB, and the information being associated can then be obtained by the UE from any picocell/TP it is in range of without additional signalling being necessary.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2014Publication date: August 14, 2014Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Matthew WEBB, Timothy MOULSLEY, Yiwei FANG

Publication number: 20140133447Abstract: The present invention refers to transmission method in a mobile communication system (1) comprising a base station (20) and a terminal (10) for transmitting transmission data to the base station. In order to provide a more efficient transmission procedure, a method is provided, in which the terminal transmits a message to the base station indicating that an uplink transmission resource is to be used by the terminal; and further information is provided by the terminal to the base station.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2014Publication date: May 15, 2014Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Timothy MOULSLEY, Milos TESANOVIC, Paul BUCKNELL, Yoshiaki OHTA, Matthew WEBB

Publication number: 20140098793Abstract: In a LTE-based wireless communication system having neighbouring first and second cells a first user in the first cell may experience significant interference from downlink transmissions in the second cell. Such interference can be reduced by selecting a precoder for downlink transmission to a second user in the first cell which will result in reduced interference to the first user after the first user is handed-over to be served by the second cell. The method involves selecting, among a plurality of users in the first cell, the second user to receive the precoded downlink transmissions using the selected precoder. The second user is chosen so as to satisfy a measure of suitability using the selected interference-reducing precoder. Taken together, the choice in the first cell of precoder and second user (UEA) result in reduced inter-cell interference.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2013Publication date: April 10, 2014Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Rajaguru Mudiyanselage Mythri Hunukumbure, Matthew Webb

Publication number: 20130279412Abstract: In a heterogeneous network based on LTE, the random access, RA, procedure triggered in a macrocell produces transmissions from a UE (20) on the physical random access channel, PRACH, which a picocell eNB (12) can attempt to make measurements of for interference coordination purposes over the X2 interface between the macro eNB (10) and the pico eNB (12). By reconfiguring the UE's behaviour during principally the contention-free RA procedure, its transmissions on PRACH are made different to the default such as to be suitable for heterogeneous network interference measurements. This is done by assigning new meanings to certain of the characteristic parameters provided by the macro eNB (10) to the UE (20), such as the RA preamble it uses and the C-RNTI it is assigned during the procedure.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2013Publication date: October 24, 2013Inventors: Matthew WEBB, Zhaojun Li, Paul Bucknell, Timothy Moulsley
